*Paraphernalia* is a set of self-crafted electronic-performance tools for
a live performance. The project opens a pathway for a larger theme related
to my practice where I ask asks; What are the ways in which we can
engineer interfaces that validate the circulation of subjugated
knowledges, in meaningful sets and settings? We pick up the threads and
traces from this momentous pile of knowledge around us, we are continually
articulating and weaving these threads together in new combinations. This
approach can be found in the notion of bricolage, widely acknowledged and
validated by Claude Levis-Strauss.
