Participants are given the opportunity to take conceptual risks of their own intent and prerogative and make contributions to forming a grouped publication.
The resulting exhibition of individual works, which formed the book, was intuitively arranged without need for consideration of a theoretical through line and instead explores openness to unlikely connections forming fresh meaning.
Discrete adhesive letter-objects are arranged left and right from center forming a sign on a wall. The sign and reader participants are then both made manifest as facts between the hours of 5–8 p.m.

bifurcated glass bottle
An audience assembles facing loudspeakers installed in a corridor within a vacant industrial building. The corridor, brightly lit, suddenly becomes pitch black as amplified noises emerge into the passageway forming at a rapid constant rate and continue without pause for a duration equivalent to the adjustment period of vision in a dark environment. The live presentation then ceases abruptly creating a moment of maximized silence ...
Listener participants later shared their individual experiences of clarity, ecstasy, anxiety, and other occurrent states of being.
