A note on: Babel Between Us ends

Babel Between Us has been one of the most ambitious collaborative writing projects ever made, without a doubt. It’s an immense project, massive. I’ve been writing stories and texts with over a dozen writers around the world, kind of anonymously, for a great part of 2020. Now it is over. It’s strange to me I’ve not written more about it on my site or blog, but because the because includes so much anthropological analysis and itself feels like a kind of commentary, somehow, creatively that felt redundant to me. / If you want to have a look at the project in general, do have a butchers at https://bbu.world/ and all my posts, starting fiction and interrupting it, is https://bbu.world/u/werebear/activity with some screenshots below.

A note on: my Neurocantos poems in Rebecca Kamen's exhibition in Virginia

One of the most generous collaborative relationships of my last year in writing and correspondence, Rebecca Kamen is a groundbreaking artist and scientist. Very generously she has included poems from my Neurocantos series into her latest exhibition, poems based on her correspondence to me as founding text that formed the base of a sequence of works. 

You can read more about the Continuum exhibition below, at the Reston Arts Centre in Virginia. The exhibition runs from December 1st 2015 to February 13th 2016. http://restonarts.org/exhibition/rebecca-kamen-continuum-2/ 

As part of continuum, two editions of prints of the Neurocantos are included in the exhibition program, framed for display.  Alongside the exhibition's primary sculptural elements, there is also a soundscape, created by Susan Alexjander which involves my reading from the text and a series of 3 moving poem fragments as video projections from 2 of the Neurocantos poems alongside a Cajal quote. You can my intro in the exhibition catalogue below.

The NeuroCantos has also been part of Rebecca's presentation at an international neuroscience symposium, honoring the legacy of Santiago Ramon y Cajal  at National Institute of Health on November 4th 2015.
