Utilizing the concept of a "breaching experiment" I will begin this course wearing an eye-patch. Halfway through the introduction, I will openly switch it to the other eye.
In social psychology a breaching experiment would be utilized to examine peoples' reactions to violations of commonly accepted social rules or norms. In this context, it speaks to the students' capacity for the unexpected and their ability to challenge or question what they see.
Thinking as a form of resistance.
"It is no longer possible to regard the contemporary work as that to be walked through. Rather as a period of time to be lived through, like an opening to unlimited discussion.. The contemporary artwork's form [spreads out from its materiality]: it is a linking element, a principle of dynamic agglutination. An artwork is a dot on a line." (Bourriaud)
