BEYOND ZERO POINT - COGNITIVE DISSONANCE AND THE NEW MASS
Gather around the altered states of consciousness made available through embodied metaphor and professionally induced by a performative lecture administered by Dr Ceri Hann where a future of division will be articulated through a follow up participatory workshop based on the psychodynamics of cognitive dissonance. Evade capture by groupthink, exceed expectations by dreaming awake; to become unpredictable is to become human. Tear out the last page and book in!

CERI HANN
Ceri is a multidisciplinary arts practitioner who develops participatory art forms intended to enhance the conditions for collective idea generation. This approach to practice often avoids categorisation, as the outcomes are intentionally defused in the wonder/wander of everyday life.
The gifting of metaphorical objects to instigate philosophical discourse stems from Ceri’s recently completed PhD research at RMIT, The Making of a Knowledge Casino (2016). The creation of low tech props for treating the urban condition as a 3D movie set were used to enable mutually inspired activities for people that may not consider themselves artists, but may become script writers of their own way to play.
