<usus>

daring to do and daring to be done to
Networks, cycles, interdependencies, systems, processes -
terms coming from science. At the same time the image
of the artist as a lonesome genius.
Our personal experience in processes of making art
is quite contrary.
For us, making art means: to be in contact,
to be open for communication, to complement one another,
to lead one another astray, to create something new.
