The Notion of the Discourse

This text is extracted from a conversation between Tim Etchells and Adrian Heathfield at the 2011 Transmediale conference in Berlin. Both hailing from the United Kingdom, Etchells is a performance artist who's currently a Thinker-in-Residence at Tate London, and Heathfield works in and around the scenes of contemporary performance. As they discussed various performance art works to the audience, they intertwined 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 unfolds. An Ode to British Thinkers, if you will.
