Through a collection of prototypes, Post-Verbal Social Network (PVSN) employs both contemporary and pre-industrial technologies to augment the physical labor of choreography and community. Demonstrations of approximately 21 prototypes (aka: possible solutions to language) can be seen on fake wood TV’s throughout the building. A live prototype demonstration will be in the Studio Theater. Beta-model prototypes can be seen in the bathrooms and a stairwell. The work is particularly site responsive to the plumbing at OtB.
