This year the word is 'WATER’, and the work will willingly wade the time away, in eddies, in sinks, in drains, in backwaters, through root systems, capillaries, infiltrating, inundating our "humid brains" (Isabelle Stengers).

Recipes for getting wet: out of the blue, blue planet, into the molecular, cellular, time’s involved, time runs through it, hydrophonics, hydrojams, glistening gestures, swimsink, cloud seeding, drought, contamination, advisories, nautical sea, nausea, leagues under, deep diver, pearl mother, Mariana Trench. We quickly see this flow forever, for, as Yve Lomax put it in Sounding the Event: “Yes, this noisy restless sea is pure multiplicity: it is mixture, it is contingency and it is turbulent.” Or, put even more succinctly, as Italo Calvino’s Mr. Palomar realizes: “isolating a wave is not easy.”
