“In the first eight weeks of quarantine, alongside one another, we turned our video cameras on, wrote, recorded, collaged, smashed, collapsed, rejoiced, renounced. Ten artists in a video class at California Institute of the Arts, in the midst of a global pandemic. We were ready to publish the website with our experiments when the revolution started, so we decided to postpone the dates. In May we said: The containers we grew up with, rely upon, build with: leaking. Care and consideration for our collective health: leaking. Delusions of American exceptionalism and "freedom for all": leaking. Our mental health, daily rhythms, ways of connecting: leaking.
And then the leaking became a flood. A very much needed flood. We welcome the flood. “
