On September 18, 2022, we (Binda Colebrook and Jenny Katz<\/a>) met at Iconica Social Club in Northampton for a coffee. We talked about what we\u2019d been working on and playing with. Jenny mentioned a character she\u2019d been hearing in her head lately, a vampire who wanted to do standup and had been honing her set. She told Binda a couple of the jokes. <\/p>\n

\u201cDating… it\u2019s hard, right? Making small talk. I mean, some questions are easy: \u2018What are you drinking?\u2019 \u2018Red or white?\u2019 Other questions are harder. \u2018So what do you do?\u2019 \u2018Uh… I’m a people person?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Binda, as she often does, was making notes in her sketchbook. Then she looked up and said, \u201cI recall you saying it would be fun to do something together, and I’ve been thinking on that. And here’s my proposal: How about I make a thing, I give it to you, and then you sit with it and make a thing \u2014 it could be a song, or a piece of art, or whatever \u2014 and give it back to me, and we just keep going with that for a couple of rounds.\u201d
<\/p>\n

Jenny suggested one change \u2014 what if they BOTH made a piece of art to swap, so they could each always have something to play with. It could be a kind of creative double helix. <\/p>\n

Later that day, Binda texted:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Jenny had just been chatting with sound artist Michael Joly, who\u2019d mentioned that he\u2019d been reading James Joyce\u2019s Ulysses. Jenny was struck by the similarity in sound to \u201cHelices.\u201d Helysses\/Helices \u2014 not just a double helix but also a mythic journey! That sounded right.<\/p>

There are 24 chapters in the Odyssey. If Binda and Jenny each made 12 artifacts, that would be a way of equalling 24 \u201cchapters.\u201d<\/p>

What would be our cadence? We proposed two weeks \u2014 long enough to get something done, but not long enough that we could spend much time either planning or polishing. This project wasn\u2019t about creating perfect artifacts; it was about the movement of spiraling each other, moving away and then coming back to cross. With that in mind, we decided to call these two-week periods \u201cmovements.\u201d<\/p>

Twelve movements, two weeks apiece. That sounded like a dauntingly long project \u2014 almost half a year. We decided not to think about that part of it too hard, just jump in and see how it felt.<\/p>

Our first movement would be some kind of artistic response to this very conversation. We would meet again in two weeks and see what we\u2019d come up with.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
