The body is our base which is actually much broader than we were taught. We work physically, we tune in, we (mutually) imprint, accept foreign bodies as our own. We disrupt the boundaries of body and search for new ways to connect them. Physical closeness is not a condition for connection, translucency is a form of connecting distantly. Any body can be translucent - transfer leads to translucency, translucency foregoes transfer. We want to directly (physically) experience what the other does without a need for translation. Let us include bodies in empathy!

Transferring an experience from the past into the present. How to not lose the quality of an experience? How to not add new information? The word transfer means mutual transmission. If we look at transfer as a means of documentation, it enables us to pass on an experience without a secondary medium (a carrier of the transfer) which often results in distortion and may add new things (which are from a certain point useless). Transfer may be telepathy, the recording of a situation, a direct transmission of an experience from body to body, mind to mind. Transfer negates mediums.

Record

We are a group that creates our own forms of learning/teaching. We do not create positions of teachers, we function in a non-hierarchic space. We communicate through transferring, we mutually tune into each other and our surroundings. We change the form of learning/teaching and observe how this change influences its content. What actually makes sense to learn/teach? What type of information is sensible to pass on? We need to learn more of our translucency and of how we feel and how others feel.

Institution

Transfer was created during a pandemic. Lockdowns and the impossibility of physical closeness helped form its basic orientation field. How to transfer and experience distantly, online or without (physically) meeting? Physical distance is a metaphor for a personal feeling of isolation. We practice, create and try out these skills. We practice disembodiment so we may get closer to the bodies of others. We sink into our bodies to mutually connect.

Distant Experience

There are many art pieces that tell stories, reference, show, reveal. They requiere the spectator to read and understand them. We want to come into a gallery and say “Here we are!”. We want to experience. We do not create art pieces. We follow up on participative art, the art of performance, happenings, the principles of art and therapy. Our main tool is Transfer. Transfer makes our inner feelings present and promises a freedom of interpretation. During transferring one feels what the other does. They interpret together and are so a step further than if they were separate.

Art Medium

We are a research interdisciplinary group that examines alternative means of contact with others. From the beginning, these means are based on the experience of unity between our minds and bodies. We combine elements of therapy, magic, shamanism and telepathy. We try to rewrite our perception of our bodies and their sensitivity and to create new canals for communication. Contact is a big topic for us and we examine this topic through the aspect of therapy and art. We regard vulnerability and closeness as a new strategy for survival. We are several units of a whole that may be called a research/artistic group but also a collective, humanity, the population of the Czech republic, the inhabitants of planet Earth.
