ROLES:

The (ruling figure's) role will be to

EITHER: purely play the role of a figure opposed to dialogue and who is in control of our productivity

OR: to somehow overcome the contradiction of engaging in a dialogue with a group whilst having no control of said group, or put differently to engage in a dialogue with us, but whilst maintaining and being restricted by the framework of a worker-master relationship.

Our role as the workers in both cases is to overcome all aspects blocking dialogue whilst maintaining the basic relationship.

WHY INTERESTING?

• seems interesting because we would posit a relationship that seems contrary to dialogue, in order to create dialogue. Of course in this respect the dialogue might very well fail, but there is nothing wrong with failure!

• another noteworthy factor would be the contradictory idea that we as artists/collective/humans in a way give up that privileged power we have of self in order to have those rights dominated by another, to have our potential productivity be willingly exploited.

• also interesting to attempt a dialogue when our power of expression, and ability to talk is determined by the entity to whom we should be talking.

PROBLEMS:

• because of contradictions inherent in the project the whole thing might not work!
