We’re pretty dang excited to have Adam Good offering up his interdisciplinary services to the Understanding Campaign’s lineup of Kickstarter incentives. Here’s what he’s going to do:
UNDERSTANDING REMIXED
The core of my artistic practice is the sampling and remixing of texts to increase my understanding of a given subject, experience, or life in general. I take a source text (or texts) and remix it into new concepts and descriptions, or I “ask” it a question and remix possible answers. For the Understanding Campaign, I will work with the donor to create a custom “package of understanding” for something they want to understand (a field of knowledge or experience, a specific question, anything). Through an initial consultation, we will identify what they want to understand, and identify sources for me to remix. I will then sample and remix the sources to create a package of artistic materials and tools that will help them understand. This package will include: a box of cards – imprinted with ideas, statements, directions, and considerations – that the recipient can randomly draw from, or rearrange, to increase or trigger understanding; a video of several live remixes for understanding; and a year-long subscription to a private Twitter feed through which I will periodically broadcast new understandings (I will invite other users to the feed at the recipient’s request).
