How to get close without eliminating distance? Is this what our technology aspires to? Perhaps it is that our everyday language is abstract, more so  than it is given credit for—both too small and too large to pin down specificity. Descriptions slip in time and are tested against the concrete, where they settle on approximation. Within the space of play we find a familiar and specific feeling. A medium of engagement. A call and response from a form of action that resonates in rhythms and rhymes. When presence and absence become one and the same, the field is folded, and form becomes that which  inhabits it. It’s there that a mold is made. A mode of production. In this space, to stop making sense is to sense what is made, both for and with one another. – Molly and Brendan Getz
