The main criterion for any project is that it give equal support to the aims of the group (as stated above) and the individual artistic practice. So while collaboration is key, this is not a communal melting pot where the identity of the individuals is erased. Rather, it is an experiment to see how collaboration can strengthen the individual.
An element of chance is extremely important to this endeavor. Considering Duchamp’s experiments with chance, there is a vast complexity of permutation possible when a set of elements, including lacunae, is carefully considered by a rigorous interpreting consciousness. Due to gaps in the structure, the hits and misses of personality, practice, and intention, the implementation of any collaboration is uncertain and open to the interpretation of any particular group of participants, any particular arrangement of elements. This group thrives on that uncertainty and makes it a driving force in the possibility unfolding around it.
