Performance artists from iKatun coordinate excursions through the Fort Point community in Boston

The Institute for Infinitely Small Things

excursions launched from the back of a truck

On October 16, 2004, a mobile institute was parked in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston which was dedicated to the discovery and analysis of infinitely small things. Excursions were coordinated by Kanarinka and Pirun of iKatun based on questions answered by artists of the community, in order to understand the past and present of the area, and perhaps determine its future as well. No monads were harmed in the creation of this video.
