i’m listening to an audiobook with multiple narrators. the chapters switch perspectives, and there are different narrators depending on which character the chapter is following.

it’s a little weird when the characters interact, and you hear dialogue from one character, but narrated by another.

it got my thinking about memory, and real life perspective. How when I interact with someone, I’m unintentionally, inadvertently, instinctively, coloring their words and actions with all of my experiences. And they’re doing the same to me.

It’s amazing any interactions are successful when I think about it. There is soo much unseen context swimming around every action, every expression, every spoken and written word.

Wild.

i guess this isn’t the first time i’ve thought about this. i always try to be very straightforward when i communicate, but even this gets misinterpreted sometimes

i have a show coming up. it opens on 5/16. I wonder what people will think of the art. i was going to display my statement, but maybe i’ll keep it hidden so people can decide on their own what it means
