In addition to the idea to welcome that which is alien or alienated, that other, the unknown or yet to be known, is the idea of what we perceive when we look, when we find when we…surveil for otherness. Here the idea of participation, of newness, new shapes and collectivity together. Just who or what is watching who is up for grabs. The location, the landscape is the California desert. The pods, the people seen perhaps in the end, all the same. What forms do we take and what do we do while we are in it?
