Two tri-colored LED signboards display rotating text/animation sequences that behave as if in dialog or conversation with one another. The curated texts center on themes related to consciousness and its facets of attentiveness, perception, intentionality, phenomenology, and free will. Texts include excerpts from leading philosophers, neuroscientists, and poets. Interspersed among the texts are artists’ visual and textual projects that ‘perform’ moments of consciousness itself.
OnBoard and Awake was presented at the “Towards a Science of Consciousness 2004” conference in April, 2004, Tucson, Arizona, sponsored by the Center for Consciousness Studies, University of Arizona, Tucson, and exhibited at the UCEN, UCSB, also in the Spring, 2004.
