If we have learned anything.
I just watched a rough cut of “The Institute” documentary, directed & produced by nonchalance collaborator Spencer McCall. I laughed, I cried… literally. Expect a release by the end of the year. I will withhold all of my comments until you’ve had a chance to see it too.
2 months before the Jejune Institute opened, we had this. It took us 3 years to complete, but it is striking how close the outcome was to our original sketches, considering all the surprises & shifts along the way. (You should see the flow diagrams we’ve got going now!)
Nonchalance is shaking the platform of curatorial work and interactive art, expanding and transforming its possibilities…
Q:Is there a way to see the repository even though I never completed Act IV?

We’re loving that the Games of Nonchalance still enjoys an afterlife of street-art tributes.
