social magic by Stephanie Beattie

I'm looking at human magic. Social magic. The relationships between people, the power they have as embodied in but not defined by the people in them.

 

Coercion & cohesion & cooperation

 

group identity, group intention, group formation

 

i'm making videos & installations about being with other people in long term cooperative relationships, whatever kind of cooperation it is, productive or destructive.

 

Groups as "hyper-individuals"
