“But of course, people are incoherent; they are constantly contradicting themselves, and each other.” Martha Rosler, 2005.

The everyday cooperation, which is based on the apparent matter of certainties, is a highly complex system of roles, traditions, cultural assumptions, and values as well as languages. In the age of global access, even the most distant countries and cultures seem transparent and accessible. But transparency and accessibility do not necessarily lead to greater understanding. Rather they point to, or are suggestive of, the tremendous potential of misunderstanding.
So there is no getting around dealing with the other.  (excerpt introduction ah+kk)
