Watching the Witness Observe

a collaboration with Celeste Neuhaus

NOW IS THE NEW FUTURE! But when does a potential future become the present? Join us where mythology meets science, to observe the witness watch the human versus the hybrid.

A mother’s milk of spider’s silk, A body is the shape of now. Tentacular thinking in a vacant stare, a camera does not blink. Don’t look away. Bear witness. Face it; NOW IS THE NEW FUTURE!

Celeste Neuhaus and Peter Redgrave gathered six groups of participants in the Center for PostNatural History in Pittsburgh, PA. The participants were asked to help gather qualitative or quantitative observations of Celeste as she practiced not looking away from Freckles, a stuffed spider goat.
