#questions
In process. Exploring ways of untesting is for me about blurring the line between the straightforward and counterproductive. There are always questions we find odd, unrelated or predicative of a standard reply. I started taking questions out of their context and made them overlap. Likewise an unstandardising of questions by rephrasing and altering takes them out of an administered frame.
Being aware of and intentionally operating outside the professional set up I shifted verbal structures to undo a closed or open question, redirected the purpose or phrased them ambiguously. Leaving knowledge tests aside, what is a question’s impact if we don’t know what to reply or are unsure of an answer? Is it a matter of being irritated, of guessing, ignoring or possibly challenging ourselves?
Along this processing I arrived at a set of questions that hover between the straightforward and counterproductive. They will appear on walls, left there to get noticed at some point. As for me, I do not need to obtain the physical outcome; a typed, written or spoken answer from the audience. Rather, I suggest to eye-catch the questions while passing by or pausing to reread and think off what might be a “good” answer if there is any. [chapter on answers to follow]
