The Sober & Lonely Institute for Contemporary Art will occupy a 1.72 x 1.72 x 1.62m space at the Visual Arts Network of South Africa (VANSA) for a three month period, starting 6 June 2012.

SLICA will use this space for a new project called FOR KARL KRALL: A QUANTIFIABLE EXPERIMENT IN TELEPATHIC THOUGHT TRANSFERAL. Participants from outside of Johannesburg have been invited to telepathically send through images, ideas, or plans for artworks to Sober & Lonely at the VANSA space, at a specific time allocated to each artist. Sober & Lonely will capture these transfers and attempt to create a reasonable facsimile in the space, using the R15 allocated to each manifestation. The artist/participant will select the next artist/participant for the project, and so on – thus creating the possibility of an uncontrolled and unmediated telepathic network.

The project hopes to expand VANSA and Sober & Lonely’s shared interests in creating global and local networks and facilitating experimentation in the arts.
