Anti-Sense is an installation experience that emphasizes art-as-situation rather than art-as-object. This means the piece is an effect largely felt in the physical body– internal and sensual, allowing viewers to become more aware of their own body, their senses, and the power of their brain to construct reality. In this space, viewers will be able to confront and explore uncertainty through projections of darkness itself, with glimpses of light that will require viewers to engage in sense-making that is entirely internal.

The space is not just devoid of light, it is also devoid of the constant bombardment of information our brains have become accustomed to. By removing viewers from the visual grounding of everyday surroundings, the installation promotes sense-making using only our eyes and internal memories and associations, which creates a space for introspection and meditation that is individual to each viewer but experienced collectively.

Participant Responses

As a secondary layer of this piece, viewers were asked to respond or record what they saw in/during their experience of Anti-sense. These are the resulting notes, drawings, reflections, inferences, thoughts, feelings, and documentation that came out of this direct intervention of perception.
