Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions At this moment of being confined to enclosed, often small spaces, and fixed in particular locations, our thoughts are frequently turning inwards, and we are reconsidering relations of external, internal, geographic, and mental spaces. LIMITS OF PERCEPTION LAB invites us to extend the solitary experience of locatedness to extra dimensions, where “groundlessness,” as Francisco Varela puts it, presents us with a possibility for mental expansion in multiple directions. For one week, SAVVY Contemporary transforms itself into the LIMITS OF PERCEPTION LAB, a hybrid of an artist studio and a scientific laboratory, using multidisciplinary methodologies to study experience and as a means of knowledge disruption and production. It is grounded in artistic practice within an extended context, drawing from and working with practitioners from the fields of cognitive and vision science, neuroscience, experimental psychology, mathematics, and architecture while being in conversation with critical practitioners from the fields of humanities, including but not limited to art history, history of science, and philosophy.
