The feasibility project by smudge
Feasibility: from Latin FACERE "to do" and "to make".
The feasibility project is a project, a statement, and an exploration. It challenges its own feasibility by using the sparest of language and design to convey signals sent from moments of deep complexity and feeling. The project simultaneously acts as design, art, poetry, activism, relational aesthetic practice, and DIY media. The project's pieces can be experienced collectively as a poem, a series of posters, a grassroots media distribution project, or an isolated encounter in public space. The "voice" of the feasibility project is inspired by the potential for creative action that is realized when humans respond to the very real and present edges of feasibility that shape contemporary experience.
smudge's practice explores how humans, the planet-as-habitat and built environments have reached their limits of feasibility. At these limits they pass into something else. The feasibility project signals the edges where extraordinary acts of creativity and responsiveness have now become necessary and possible.
Throughout 2007-8 we will carry the project's pieces with us. During encounters that are sensed as "edges of "feasibility" we will post/distribute/perform and document a piece(s) of the feasibility project in context. We invite you to do the same.
smudge welcomes you to download and distribute the 50 feasibility pieces.
