What does it mean to be “real” in the world? When an individual body, memory, and world emerges from a person’s own sensations, a basic system of knowledge is generated within them. Coexisting with others who perceive things differently generates disorder and conflict. Also, there is a common language consisting of the unadulterated body and the accretion of memory and language. How did the things we perceive as real become real, and who did we believe in order for them to emerge? This workshop investigates the formation of communities with others who do not share our perceptions, and the translation of worlds that we cannot perceive.
