Sense and Reason is an exploration of language, cognition, AI-driven text and the future of the image. Viewers are invited to contribute a response or intervention for a limited time here. Please download a PDF of the work in its original state.

Contributions and interventions to Sense and Reason will be accepted until the 28th of February 2025. With your permission, these will be added to an online tangelgram.

To maintain anonymity for those who prefer it, the form does not accept documents. These should be emailed but can also be added directly to the tanglegram.

The tanglegram will be made public on the 28th of February, 2025.
