Last year's word was ‘I’, consequently the focus was on selfless selves, linked Is, and not-Is. The first year it started with ‘you’, last year ‘and’ came to connect you to anything and everything, last year that point of connection was ‘I’—the porous one, the solo collective.

The third in Christof Migone's series of twelve annual 12-hour events taking place on December 12th from 5pm to 5am the next day. Each year the event moves through each word of the phrase ‘You and I Are Water Earth Fire Air of Life and Death’ and a group of international artists activate the word of the year in myriad ways.

This year the word is 'Are’, consequently the focus will be on plurals: multiplicities leading to infinities, polymorphs and polyglots, surrounded sounds, layers upon layers, etceteras upon etceteras. New this year is the inclusion of a subtitle: (Sommes Sonnes)—this translates from the French simply to ‘are sounded’. Also new this year, Myriam Lambert and Alexandre St-Onge are joining the project on the curatorial side.

The fourth in Christof Migone's series of twelve annual 12-hour events taking place on December 12th from 5pm to 5am the next day. Each year the event moves through each word of the phrase ‘You and I Are Water Earth Fire Air of Life and Death’ and a group of international artists activate the word of the year in myriad ways. Streamed live on YouTube.

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.”
