Last night's lecture definitely proved the importance of good speaking. The two artists who spoke had apparently worthwhile projects, but the details and significance were lost in the absence of planned presentations. One project was mostly about expressing the relationship between communist parades and then the protests of the 90s in the Soviet. The other project was about saving an old Lithuanian Cinema through sort of Schäferian methods in the context of a Pro-Test Lab. Lots of strong emotions were being displayed, but none were carried through by the presenters. I was sad to see some of my fellow attendees actually sleeping; life is busy, but for a focused lecture series by artists, a little self-awareness and planning would have gone a long way by the presenters.
