Graven: DVC3 ProjecT

Synopsis

This project is about experience, wisdom, and vision that is shared through communal works known as graven objects. These objects are both a form of analog storage and a vehicle to expand true understanding, perception, and the human experience. Tied to these ideas is a community which is made up of people who have rejected standards, and gone off to find their own way and truth through chaos, commune, and all that fall between. A critical moment comes when what they have learned is shared with the larger community and graven objects are created – this is that journey and arrival point.

As this community knowledge, wisdom and vision stretches into the eternity of time, the real interesting thing happens. As the graven objects are dislocated from their original time, they are reinterpreted, giving birth to new meaning, ideas and vision. The final result is a vast and endless community, no longer bound by time or fickle systems which seek to restrict our most human traits – the ability to think, feel, imagine, and have free will.
