Full Description

You and I, We’re on the Same Wavelength is a performance across New York in multiple locations wherein I attempt to instinctually connect with strangers by yawning repeatedly, positing that a few will yawn back at me. Taking as its impetus the rapid evolution of virtual, discrete sites of connection in online social networks and their accompanying meme contagions, this piece seeks an offline analog to better understand these hidden loci through the mutually invisible properties of empathy and bonding. Subconscious and spreadable, it sees yawn contagion as just such a signal, and as a phenomenological site ripe for excavation.
