I particularly loved this little room.
For me, the best part of the ESTAR(SER) installation at the Frye was watching other people as they looked at the art and suddenly made a connection. You could see that moment of recognition in their faces.
This group of three came in just after I did. I asked if they'd pose for a picture, adding one more triad to the set, and they said yes. Thanks, total strangers at the Frye!
ESTAR(SER) — The Esthetical Society for Transcendental and Applied Realization (now incorporating the Society for Esthetic Realizers) — is a private, dedicated body of amateurs, scholars, and interested parties who concern themselves with the historicity of The Order of the Third Bird. This community of researchers works to sift evidences of Bird-like attentional practices in the historical record, and to present those evidences to critical readers. In this project ESTAR(SER) is fortunate to be in possession of a vast (possibly infinite) body of source materials — known as “The W-Cache” — which appears to have been assembled by an aspiring historian of the Order seeking to write a comprehensive history of the Birds. He or she did not succeed, but bequeathed to the Society a valuable and diverse archive. The academicians of ESTAR(SER) have made it their business, over the years, to publish critical editions of these primary sources, materials that see print in the Proceedings of ESTAR(SER).
This is one of the most interesting ongoing collective artworks research-based of the world, and I’m just joyfully fulfilled being part of it.
Affiliates of ESTAR(SER) will be presenting the 2016 Joint Symposium entitled Inquiries into the Order of the Third Bird in viva voce at the Foshay Masonic Lodges (Culver City, LA) invited by the good people of the Museum of Jurassic Technology.
Join us for an afternoon of historical investigation into the activities of the fugitive entity known to some as The Order of the Third Bird.
