Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual seem to go away? What becomes of movement once stripped of development? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure? And what then becomes of our molten ethics when stripped of its value form? If in order to represent something you inflect your position or agenda on it, and if some phenomena do not have properties until we try and observe them, is the measurement problem in filmmaking and quantum physics analogous? Does fundamental particle physics and the ethics these artists and thinkers are interested in propose a reality that both goes beyond relationality and speaks more of a kind of oneness? How might that change ideas such as consent, which liberalism based on individuals agreeing to their relations? And how do Denise and Arjuna, Fred and Wu embody or apply these kinds of ideas within the topography of their artmaking collaborations?
