Abstract

In the ocean world, clarity of vision is indicative of a lack of mineral richness; healthy waters are meant to be murky; healthy waters are meant to occlude sight.

The Coral Notes is multi-component practice project centred on a neon re-enchantment with the subterranean. The project aims to break the iron cage of rationality, as conceptualised by sociologist Max Weber, through an alchemical reimagining of it as just warp and weft, as just images and texts.

In practice, The Coral Notes takes up modernist artworks and classical philosophical texts of the twentieth century, attending to them as material forms to be re-designed, re-presented and re-imagined. It takes those forms which appear to be seemingly clear and knowable, and muddies them into new forms.

Through this stirring up, The Coral Notes seeks re-enchant the world as formed in philosophy and visual culture, to ask what, exactly, are you seeing over there?

The Coral Notes builds on a previous multi-component practice project, Slime Diaries. Slime Diaries was centred on a relief of care, which at one and the same time drove a careful retribution, a meticulous and intricate vengeance of materials. The Coral Notes steps more lightly but is no less serious in its endeavours.
