WHAT IF CARDS
2000
Documentation of an installation. There was a room filled with hypothetical questions, bright white light, and contemplative sound. People were invited to respond. Limited edition decks of cards that invite our response. The back of the card was commercially offset printed. The questions were printed on the laser printer. Decks were laminated, cut, corner-rounded and collated in my studio.
Poems and music for random performance. Panties, music and Cagean chance combine to make this new edition. The I-Ching was cast on a daily basis as the panties were chosen and written about for the day. Musical values were assigned to each line of the I-Ching and "plunked -out" in the computer notation program for various instruments. The I-Ching casts were interpreted and combined in unexpected ways with the panty writings to create this edition that is both book and performance. The measures of music may be combined in any order to create your own unique symphony. An encover CD lets you listen to one possible version.
