YOU
A 12-hour online event organised by Christof Migone in collaboration with Resonance Extra, Wave Farm, Squint Press, USask Art Galleries, Animals of Distinction and Glenfiddich Whisky. The first in a series of twelve annual events taking place on December the 12th from noon to midnight GMT (7-7 EST, 5-5 CST, 4-4 PST). Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase you and I are water earth fire air of life and death and activate the word of the year in myriad ways. In 2020 it started with you-. It always starts with you-.
All participants were invited to programme one hour with you- as the sole prompt. The result could be a mix of live and recorded (or entirely one or the other). There could be a visual element throughout, or partial, or none at all. An open structure welcoming coherent incoherence (or, incoherent coherence). A radio-but-not-really-radio event where you and you and you share the same nonplace.
