- +
-PILGRIMAGE +
- +
-Pollinators is the rejuvenation of old practices combined with new transdisciplinary art practices transported to pilgrimage. +
- +
-Following a thesis by Hakim Bey traveling was a tool for three practices: war, trade and pilgrimage. Within pilgrimage the mode of the journey is what is important and in the end the point. +
- +
-Pilgrimage is about sharing or giving and rituals. What does giving mean? Creating products on the road? Or more immaterial: paying or better giving attention. +
- +
-Pilgrimage is going from goal to goal, moving towards an end point. Is it searching for an in existing ideal? +
- +
-TRAVEL +
- +
-Travel can be seen as a moving studio in time space and in between. +
- +
-Traveling is connecting the nodes, like a pilgrim does and it's the in between space that is important. The nodes are sacred places.  +
- +
-POLLINATORS +
- +
-Their travel is a pro-energy journey. It has a comfort aspect to it. +
- +
-Will the journey itself be the goal for the pollinators? Can the target be movable? Will everybody have their own purpose or goal? +
- +
-What about communication? Communication is meeting people, is documenting. It's not about live blogging, saying 'here I am'. +
