Gestures

There were wanderers who walked following the stars. At first, there was their conversation. From that conversation, gestures began to accumulate. Gestures became diverse, continuously speaking, writing, drawing, making, singing and dancing. Thus, scattered gestures, following the stars dotted in the sky, began to take place within a single space and time. Countless stars became a particular point, then they were interconnected, intertwined, and crossed each other repeatedly. Thus, the products of chance, repeatedly creating new shapes, became constellations.

Just as Vilem Flusser said, the gesture of writing is a penetrating gesture. Through the Graduate Diploma course, we began to engrave our own dots. Those dots would be positioned in similar places at a similar time both virtually and physically. Then the points embark on a journey from the particular, soon becoming constellations.

The gestures of every September 2023 Grad Dip wanderer are perforated within these pages. I know this inscribed surface has already engraved each other's minds, never to fade away.
