Hacking the system
"Once upon a time there was a hawk who wanted to sway in a swing but his wings were bothering him from swinging. One day the hawk decided to cut off his wings. Since then the hawk can swing."
This story is dedicated to all the Artist Educators and the students who blindly trust the educational system they are in and end up loosing their own true will, dreams and self.
"With my latest project I tried to hack the system I am in. Working on creating a project I realized that a project is planned in the present in order to be delivered in the future. Exploring the expectation of having my graduation project projecting to the future I decided to project the past to the present. Can we call a project ‘a project’ when we think about it as a project only after it is done? This question lead me to to look back to the whole year I have spent as a student at iMAE. What was my unknown and unconscious project? Trying to answer this question I ended up with a collection of outstanding moments of interaction. Moments where I feel being in genuine contact with other people. Moments where I see and feel a shift, where arises an opening, where a new perspective is being available. In all these moments I see myself exploring ways of being an artist educator in practice."
"I see my self cultivating an attitude of being an artist educator as a way of being and living among and with others. All these moments are part of my process and my process is captured on my journals. May my process be my project? May my artwork be my process?"
