Spatial facilitation, a term of art in physiology, refers to stimuli that contribute to the accurate processing of visual information. That is to say, there are certain things that we see, that help us see more precisely. Spatial facilitation is an ongoing project of mapping clearer vision through walking, noticing, the breath, and the saxophone. Analog solutions for analog problems. For Spatial Facilitation #10, the audience will visit the exhibition Young, Gifted, and Black with Thompson and look for the tethers that bind, and release.
