- This work, comprising a short video and a fiction, is one of the outputs of an initiative of three artists (Punt, Doove and Cachao) called the 'Faculty of Minor Disturbances' (FMD). FMD is intended to generate opportunities for other artists to join in collaborative projects in which multicomponent practices and multimodality can be used to open new topics and concerns. 'The World Viewed: The Silverfish and the Broken Planets' uses this form to unpick some discussions in art and literature about experience, memory and time. It was published in the journal Place as part of an FMD project in which we invited 250 artist across the world to celebrate the passing of comet (2I/Borisov) at precisely the same time in order to create a minor disturbance which was when the video was made as a commentary on the fiction. The 'Faculty of Minor Disturbances' and the Comet featured in an exhibition at the Ecole de Recherche Graphique (ERG) - Bruxelles in March 2020 funded by Erasmus. In response to Covid19 restrictions that coincided with it the exhibition also appears at: https://www.place-plateforme.com/exposition1/index.html
The context for this project and the FMD is outlined in the gateway to 'The World Viewed: The Silverfish and the Broken Planets'
https://www.place-plateforme.com/place2/minor-disturbances.html
The fiction and video were developed in a reiterative interdependent process over several months with the critical engagement of the FMD platform. It was launched in a new journal edited by artists, poets and authors. 'Place' was chosen as the preferred platform since provides an enduring reference for the art-work as it also celebrates the multimodal affordance of digital distribution and the opportunities for pataphysical creativity unencumbered by disciplinary categories.
