Undo time. Prowl through instability in wandering and diffuse forms, in a strange state of euphoria that slowly gives way to exhaustion.
Kind is an open and durational body practice; a journey toward constant creation, which is built through a succession of spontaneous actions. It is a being in the body and the environment from attentive, sensitive and sharp listening. There is nothing written, no score or pre-existing code; the code transforms or rewrites itself permanently. It is the uninterrupted search for possible solutions to the situations that the body accepts and traverses.
