    Pan’s Galley

    The word panic derives from the name of Pan, an Ancient Greek god of nature and wilderness. In these mythic stories, Pan’s cry confused aggressors, and discouraged those who might disturb his peaceful rest. Panic suggests a sudden fear of the uncontrollable. Our deepening environmental crisis fits that mood exactly. The issue can seem overwhelmingly […]

    The Metaphysics of Beer

    A Symposium of Humans and Micro-organisms by Vytenis Burokas

    A humorous demonstration of Vytenis Burokas’ research and methodology that pulls ideas around philosophy, science, fermentation, rituals, inebriation, and food into a vortex. Rather than merely cite and quote his research, the artist stages an increasingly drunken discussion between himself and a crowd of philosophers, scientists, and theoreticians.

    This time the rabbit looks down: Chocolate scrying

    After drinking, while moving the cup counter-clockwise, you form seven circles around a question. The liquid is shaping itself: after leaving the cup upside down, chocolate leftovers start to occupy their place, spirals of meaning show up and hide; their inapprehensible character plays around fears, affections and expectations, or with the idea that there is a future and there was a past.
