d_verse: transitional algorhythms of gesture draws inspiration from David Bohm’s The Wholeness and the Implicate Order (1983) by integrating Bohm’s “totality of ensembles,” that which provides the emergence of creative enfoldment and unfoldment, into the guiding principle of connectivity and sustainability surrounding the research process and production of the exhibition.

With d_verse: transitional algorhythms of gesture, the FOFA Gallery will be transformed into an expanded project lab for pk langshaw, d_verse’s principal investigator, and her collaborators. A multi-layered expression of live performance and film art by multiple authors featuring poetry, sound, lighting, dance and video will interact and communicate through the gesture of line – light projection will inform performance, performance will inform filmmaking, and filmmaking will inform viewing. In this cyclic path the scenographer, the dancers, the costume designer, the sound engineer and the filmmaker become a catalyst for an emergent complex weave of moving and interacting patterns within a unified whole.

During the first week of the exhibition, the York Corridor Vitrines will feature works from the d_verse project by pk langshaw. During the next two weeks of the exhibition, the vitrines will be transformed: first showing the garments made for the d_verse project and then redesigned garments as adapted for everyday wear. research assistants who worked on d_verse costumes and the transformed garments will also display work from their professional design houses, thereby  illustrating the principles of sustainability and of training students in the d_verse lab/Hexagram Concordia.
