The Etymologists‏

The aim of this group of artists is to seek out the origin of words that specifically provide a supporting mechanism in the authentication and validation of particular thoughts and ideas, which in turn result in the developement of precieved notions of fact and truth.

Evidentially, all things contain truth in some form, be it unniversial or subjective but the pre-condition of such depends upon individual belief and the particular level of the authority of reality that we adhere to.

Reality itself, is dependent upon the context of time and place which provides a basis for the deduction of the actual and the fictional, although this is not an entirely reliable means of doing so.

The incorporation of words that contain an authorative or detailed meaning can provide an anchor for a thought, process, object or thing as it moves into the real.

While in the process of researching, our group discovered a term of historical significance that holds little resonance in contemporary english. Through the ressurection of this term, the group will highlight its particular objective.

Through an interactive art happening on wednesday the 17th of february (from 10:30 - 11:00) a discovery will be made. We are inviting people to participate in a verbal and visual trail around the college in pursuit of the end result. Through a series of letters the audience will discover the meaning behind their actions.
