The Interface between you and me is a collaborative project by Kate ten Buuren and Sarah Ujmaia. It magnifies the importance of language and the way modern technologies influence cultural practices. Through acts of repeating, methodologies of translation and developing lexicons, ten Buuren and Ujmaia actively reinsert the self into existing terrains, re-aligning focus to the personal.
Further and Nearer
Feeling exists within two parameters:
Distance and
Closeness
Distance: helping form Intimacy
Closeness: a prolonging of absence
(carrying residue)
(carrying memory)
The personal is a topographic vernacular
The personal is a promising interspace
Being the bridge between the two
Repeating (to keep)
Translating
(to keep)
Tongue imprinted on back
Pulling a freckle through space
The autonomy to feel
and to speak.
