my text piece interview with karen burrah interactions is theory feminist theoretical metaphysics professer her BG is physical science partical physics she uses that to frame feminist and queer theory rather than interactions
as a queer theorist she talks about this guy harry hho is a profess who says sodomy shoudl be condemned cos its agains nature so she uses interactiosn to question morality and human nature caus ethere are 450 secies of animal that live in us or around us that exhibit homosexual functions so it cant be agains are nature if these things are living inside of us colonies that mimick the same funtions that we would have
my artwork i chose i chose two both by katie noland show is interesting cause this iece dont have a title she created a room full o bud anf scaffolding the amercan myth very masc society contruction of itself as preoblemat ic in america at least the constructuon is on some hierarchy of carreers that pretty much near the bottom as far from the americann dream as you could think of it the flag touching the ground is technically illeag constitutianally or to burn or to touchs it with anything how you carry this powerful
symbole shes euating the bud can which is tese three coloursconsuming for the purpose of consuming consumerism is the heart of the americaln myth shis pieces uses the barracades the flag the blind mands cane strange sumbolic american totemts not giving much praise, critical of the entire myth in the mid-90s she disappeared cos she criticises celebrity alost when she became well known she disappeard this delights you
- 3) Why are these texts is of interest to you?**
connnections between footage from vietnam and these occult rituals, equating the military presence invietnam ans ths homeoerotic militant force bob mogue in the original writings .. more able to capture bodily sounds and human sounds mick jageger made a very abstract and obtuse piece relating to ritual stuff 1969 only three yearrs was when anton levay founded the church of satan, the embracing of human sins cause they are though of as normal animal functions kenneth anger started making simbolist film in the forties escape into nature and connection to nature the use of symbols in this intennse form is
whats most appealing to me can read it in tons of ways the symbol relats to phenema which is alistait crawliyys egypton symbolism accessing higher parts of yourself through rituals and symbolws
slime-o mould crealtes a slugh that acts as a whole body it exists by itself on a celluar level this relating of like seemingly disparate things shes saying anything can become something when two things are put together
Cady Noland this peice doesnt have a title yet 1989 budweiser and scaffolding construction masculine soicety heirarchy near the bottom far from american dream american flag touching the ground illegal act. rules about the flag/ symbol comsumerism heart of american myth. referenced by Noland critical of america ALex -
- 4) What is its relation to your self-directed research?**
acessing higher parts of yourself thorugh rituals
Symbolsim, face in the plant escape from nature/ connection to nature.
The form is appealing.
which is when 2 independent individuals come together every encunter creates something new that materialises through new realation ships comes new material
- 5) How can the questions and issues these texts raise become work?**
in my work i am interested in making these connections between thigns that at first seem unconnected and then trying to find through connection and repeathing t them altering slightly what new ideas can sort of come fromt hat merging of unconnected things everything can function symbolically readymade obejcts alot of sumbolism i dont rely on it i make work that attempts to speak about it an contextualise it more, thatn kenneth who just does these symbolufilmsm without contectualisng it
sh uses symbolism like a critiqu of american myth through symbolism
aking connections between things that at first seem unconnected slighlty altering these connections, merging. Symbols readymade objects, choices. dotn rely on symbolism. speak about and contextulize in his work.

Interactions an interview with Karen Barad - feminst, metaphysics Rather than interactions when two individual come togther something new comes new material slime mould, single organisms or togther. can exist alone or connected to another. anything can become something when two thigns come together.
