Open Mik! (Open Meek)

Open Mik! (Open Meek)

2023

A play on the phrase “Open Mic” and the sublime meaning of the word “meek”, filmmaker and activist K. L. Carpio documents the growth of self-taught digital artist—and longtime friend—Mic Comia through their co-shared project Danny & the Magic Doors. Originally conceived, illustrated, and story-outlined by Comia, the work expands under Carpio’s guidance. The project seeks to honour the often-discredited processes of artists and shield them from the effects of the new age of AI development—an age that threatens minorities in the global arts community. Structured into segmented two-minute sessions, it spans four to six years of laboratory work, hybrid meetings, interviews, and forums in art fairs and exhibitions. Ultimately, it lays the foundation of an artistic collective and the belief that no man is an island—a manifesto upheld by Carpio as a visual media practitioner

The Unanswered Question IV : The Delights and Dangers of Ambiguity

The Unanswered Question IV : The Delights and Dangers of Ambiguity

1976

This series comprised six lectures on music, which cumulatively took the title of a work by Charles Ives, The Unanswered Question. Bernstein drew analogies to other disciplines, such as poetry, aesthetics, and especially linguistics, hoping to make these lectures accessible to an audience with limited or no musical experience, while maintaining an intelligent level of discourse: Bernstein provides two distinct meanings of the term ambiguity. The first is "doubtful or uncertain" and the second, "capable of being understood in two or more possible senses"
