Today I began a 10 - 15 week residency with Jerry Jackson and MG students at Grover Washington Jr. Middle School.
Our project will revolve around electricity in science, in art and as metaphor. Mr. Jackson pointed us toward the amazing video below, which reminded me of the writings of Paul Virilio.
"If, according to Aristotle, “the accident reveals the substance,” the invention of the substance is also the invention of the “accident.” Seen this way, the shipwreck is indeed the “futuristic” invention of the ship, the air crash the invention of the supersonic plane, and the Chernobyl meltdown, the invention of the nuclear power station."
