The Gaussian Blur of a Carnot Cycle
spoken word performance, Chalk-board, Calcium Carbonate, Temporary Drawings
2008
This spoken word performance was an interactive exploration in the imaginative hinterland of science. Through a series of whimsical question and answer sessions that borrowed from the pedagogic tropes of the classroom even as it blurred the boundaries between ‘proven’ fact and ‘false’ extrapolations, the performance attempted to foreground a different framework for engaging with scientific practice – a framework that is more aware of the interconnections between diverse bodies of knowledge. This was performed at Version Bêta, 2008, the digital biennial organised by the Centre for Contemporary Images, Geneva.
