The manner in which we use language determines the success of a conversation. In Points
of Conversation the art of communication becomes synonymous with the relationship of Art
and language. The performances and videos explore our daily frustration and love of
using language(s); the incompatibility and compatibility of language(s) and the anxiety
that we sometimes experience when we cannot properly connect words into a comprehensive
flow.
Technology has allowed for fast and easy access to communication. Dialogue travels
across oceans and continents connecting people and places through digital media. The
traveling of pixels and sound waves can results in the straining and fragmentation of
information and language. The communication of digital code along its journey can become
miss-sequenced and abstracted resulting in a message from a broken telephone. At its
destination the message is reassembled into a digital conversation of human speech.
Artwork that is being streamed online allows the artist access to a global audience
directly from their studio.
