The Notion of the Discourse

This text is based on a conversation I witnessed between two British thinkers, as they presented art works to an audience at a conference. It was hard to focus on what was being said, as the conversation was heavily intertwined with words, terms, and phrases that are used to describe something rather than defining something. By notating only what was said in this inbetween space, a vague, yet comical landscape of artspeak unfolds.
