A deeply felt, optimistic take on culture and contemporary life, and the small possibilities for change and transforming human interaction that it can contain if we’re open to its offers.’ Tim Etchells, artist That word empathy again. “Encounters force empathy,” he says. “All it takes to reimagine and negotiate your relationship to the people in the world around you is a bit of a different quality of focus – empathy – and a bit more care. Take care how you move through the world and pay close attention to the details of the interactions you’re having.” Or the ones you’re avoiding. That experience, he says, helped smooth the journey from thinking about how we meet each other in the context of art to thinking about the way we meet each other in the world. “It dawned on me that the thread was the idea of the encounter – everything I was making was about trying to create opportunities for people to meet each other.” Southern Charm' Star Olivia Flowers Shades 'RHOBH' Star Crystal Kung Minkoff After BravoCon: "I Thought She Was Rude"Beyoncé Gave The Beyhive A Little Something To Be Thankful For With A “First Look” At ‘Renaissance' During Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Others, such as Weiss and Matthew Roberts, a Naval cryptologist, experienced seeing fast-moving objects in the sky at other points in time — Roberts talks about the Gimbal event from 2015, radar footage of which was released to the media.

Field writes with tenderness and wit – born out of twenty years as a performance artist creating scenarios in which people are encouraged to see and interact with each other afresh.
