Under
6 feet Apart-19 (a digital archive unfolding in viral progression)
Impacted by by a new viral landscape, globally /locally rising viral rates and the article in The Atlantic's Emily Buder (The Voices of Loneliness Epidemic) in which Prime Minister Theresa May appointed Tracey Crouch as Minister of Loneliness in the UK; I was propelled to creatively act on arising questions and relatable experiences. With life shifting virally in the US, I also felt a need to respond as past and current incidents as recent as 2019 and early 2020 confirmed ongoing feelings of loneliness, social withdrawal, depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ignoring this revealed deep somatic problems rooted in ongoing/compounded severe burnout, culminating in an ER visit.
As all unfolds and less is to be predicted, I open up and invite folks to contribute creatively or socially to an evolving, unfolding digital platform - expanding, adapting and shifting much like society in the current state as the ever evolving virus. In ways PJ uses tools to time travel and implements them for social navigation, I/she/They/PJ seeks collected spoken thoughts to unify and reflect. This will hopefully lead to a culmination in live radio sound performance hosted by PJ & Friends and an audio digital archive/platform of voices, thoughts and feelings during this moment - akin to an electronic time capsule.
Leave or send a video message or soundbyte to undersixfeetapart19@gmail.com. If you choose - Call +1 (646) 481-3362 , listen to the prompts and leave a message for Pirate Jenny. Thoughts can include and are not limited to following ideas such as: Social distancing in this new context...Life before Covid-19... Thoughts on loneliness, how you are re/connecting? Were you distancing or isolated before? What are you noticing now? Whats the landscape economically and/or or creatively for you?
If you wish, you can leave your name, where you are currently and what has changed in your vicinity....
Unless specified, leaving a message will place your video/soundbyte/message in the selection pool to be shared either in performance or placed in a digital archive... or not used for anything.
Currently in English. As more people record, I would like to get people of different languages to share. I will adjust the platform accordingly and will create such space as time allows. As my art family grows internationally - I would also love to make sure these voices are heard, interpreted and archived beautifully during these times.
Under Six Feet apart-19, places not only my own approaches and experiences on "social distancing" and what it brings up mentally or emotionally, but aims to collect and eventually share others thoughts, sentiments and actions around this topic - before, during (and after) this virus. It is a topic likened to a can of worms, squirming in subjects of race, class, sexuality, gender with omnipresent tones of tech/food access & sovereignty, mental health and medical access. Under 6 feet apart-19 is a self made space - tenderly shared out of curiosity/connection, commentary and an intuitive need for an evolving digital history whose name speaks to the suggested distance recommended between people and those we remember on the frontlines of this virus. The intent is not grandiose, absolute or product driven, but quite simply a moving piece rooted in the vulnerable strength of all of our creative, resilient and tender spirits.
Stay tuned,
#lovePJ
