This is a shorter, revised version of my piece from in|DECISIVE|form, a collection by some of my CalArts Aesthetics & Politics colleagues. Watch the recorded presentation below (about 14 min.) or head over to Medium to read the text version (which Medium says should take you 7 min. — the mouth is half as fast as the eyes). As always, comments are most welcome.
With particular gratitude to Martín Plot, founder of the CalArts Aesthetics & Politics program and wise guide through the thesis process.

I like listening to your kindness to your past self. I hope to speak with as much understanding/reassurance to me someday.
I hope you pass this on in whatever packages CalArts sends to its incoming graduates. It’s subtle, strong and fine.
