April 5, 2025 at Noon.
In collaboration with the Taft Research Center, Dr. Megan Gette’s students of Atmospheres will activate the exhibition with attention to ritual as a sensed, shared, and lived experience of mattering.
Students will present their work as iterations of performance and listening scores, emphasizing how bodies become atmospheric as breathers and as subjects of relation, and how social worlds form or deform: from empirical certainties to conspiracy theories of the immaterial, toxic, elemental, and spectral.
The class offers considerations to how technological delimitations of the senses prefigure and/or foreclose experience, and explores methodological interventions, objects and forms that make room for uncertainty. It asks how making can push on the tendencies of empirical measurements and data to classify or contain and instead leave openings and traces for what is not classifiable, representable, or yet known.
This approaches ritual through generative tensions and interrogations of what is ordinary and habitual – toward a politics of fracture and incompleteness.
