Feb 21 At 6pm ET the Masquerade Opens.
Every Mask of Luci begins as a bare and unformed artwork, the same as every other.
Each Mask’s form is chosen and found through an exchange between your written words atop my artwork. A record of humans colliding in rare common spaces.
I have crafted a mask representative of all the roles within a human jungle. The Luminate, Canopic, Order, Herd, Understory, Root, Network, and Foundation.
How you participate will determine your Mask’s form at the close.
How to Participate
(1) Observation (up to 512 characters)
Observing is that first vulnerable act of speaking our mind. Guests of the Masquerade begin by writing words atop the Artwork. A preserved record of human thought. A digital communal varnish preserved within a digital artwork.
There is no rubric. Write what you see, feel, how you want to be seen.
(3) Responses (up to 256 characters each)
Discourse is the active catalyst of growth, the tiniest opening or explosive unraveling.
Choose up to 3 separate Guests’ Observations to respond to.
How you discuss is up to you. To guide others away from the past, provoke them towards new paths, to admire or jab, to listen and learn, to critique with love or brutality, how you move creates a reaction.
(1) Revision (up to 128 characters)
In the revision we have a chance to take our collision with others, and return to where we started.
A chance to add, expand, respond, reject, defend, and or just to see yourself through fresh eyes and close a loop.
I will read each collector's contributions to the Masquerade: every written Observation, Discussion with others, and Revision that each holder of a Mask places atop the Masquerade, and a Mask will be chosen for each participant.
A Mask-wearer may be a guide for others, a critic, troll, philosopher, predator, lore hunter, mimic, or something else entirely. Each Mask is crafted to reflect its wearer, each inspired by the people who comprise our beautiful human ecosystem.
Masks will reveal on March 13th.
Note: failure to Observe, Discuss, Revise at any phase will result in an Incomplete Mask.
