<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>"I am blind folded, a black silk scarf cloaks my eyes pressing my eye lids tightly against my globes. I am spun around and around by a member of the audience. All of sudden for no apparent reason my twirling is stopped. That is my sign to walk forward, which I do with my arm extended in front of me until the stick i hold touches the wall. My collaborators yell out the names surrounding the place of impact of stick. This is where my blindfolded lecture from memory begins. For the diagram exists outside and inside my head as two mutually inclusive conditions of knowledge."</i> Warren Neidich</span></span></p>
<p><span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>Some comments on my wall drawing</i></b><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> as the above quote describes is a wall drawing that is performed from memory by the blindfolded artist. </span></span><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: small;">The drawing defines<i> 'duende'</i> a term which describes an inspired Flamenco performance that is experienced collectively by an audience as a loss of control. This diagram becomes an apparatus through which the reproductive mechanisms of cognitive cultural capitalism that reinforce the status quo of the information economy, are delinked not only in the socio-cultural sphere but in the mind as well. After assisting in the making of the diagram, during which they were lectured about its contents, the students were encouraged to intervene upon it with their own artworks or political statements.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i><b>In the Mind's I</b> </i>was a series of collaborative art works that Neidich performed with the students in which each imagined a make believe exhibition in a make believe exhibition space inside their head in the space called the mind's eye. This space of inspection and envisioning is the place where each projected their fictitious works on the screen erected there. But the immateriality of this fantastic interior projection will become a real art work at SOMA as each has been made into externalized material installation on display. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>Tweeting the Piñata</b></i> is a collaborative work in which the artistic community of SOMA has been asked to email in ideas for artworks that are the size of tweets. These will be cut up into strips and placed inside a green and white Pinata bought at the nearby market. At the end of the performance <i>Some Comments on My Wall Drawing,</i> the stick used as pointer in the perfomative lecture will be used to break open the Pinata releasing these ideas. </span></span></p>
