THE MYTH OF THE PHRASEMAKER'S PARROT
Picture
<  >
The Myth of the Phrasemaker’s Parrot is a story and collection of drawings and small objects that work together to propose a world in which everything is material, repetition is generative, sensitivity is critical, and matter is active. Here, the basic elements of the universe are frayed leaves and bits of silver, the dew sliding off of slugs is as significant as any philosophical treatise, and rooms breathe and utter phrases that are strangely familiar.

In a world where everything is everything, and everything is significant, all research becomes apophenia, connectivity becomes the governing principle of nature, and empathy becomes information.
