A Public Demonstration:
A proposed exercise in channeling the spirit(s) of your ancestors - through you - becoming a mediator of their voice - through water, bottle and string and your own voice.
This is an exercise in respecting social distance while Diverting the Ego Through the Visual image of sound - What Unites Us ?
All attending individuals are encouraged to participate. Participants are spaced at least 5 meters apart and given a plastic bottle attached to a string which leads to a fixed central point.
Each participant is encouraged to concentrate on channeling their own connection with spirit / with their own ancestors' spirit(s), without referencing or collaborating with the accompanying participants.
As each participant is moved by their spirit, their spirit should begin to sound - by way of the string and bottle provided, and through their own voice and body.
With proper space provided, we hope that one is able to feel at peace, undistracted - to maintain focus with their ancestors' spirit(s) and tune out the other participants to the best of their ability.
As each participant finds their own connection, in time, we find a unique harmony coming from the mix of ancestor spirits sounding through the participants. An exercise in Diverting the ego Through the Visual image of Sound - What Unites Us ?

A curated group of individuals will meet on a split-screen compatible video conference platform. Having a plastic bottle attached to a string leading to a fixed point (off camera), each participant is encouraged to concentrate on channeling their own connection with spirit / with their own ancestors' spirit(s), without referencing or collaborating with the accompanying participants.
