Cognitive Ignorance

Cognitive Ignorance, a special artist project supported by FICA, entailed the coming together of an anonymous ensemble of players and artworks, represented by the mysteriously anonymous WinWin88. It opened to diverse audiences at the Fair, and was an experiment in seeking and recording novel forms of audience participation. The anonymity of the Collective and of the artworks that it displayed generated an affectivity geared towards augmenting the way people interacted with the works themselves, outside of instructional aids and identifiers that are often the usual markers influencing viewership and reception.
