Abstract
Essay in The Body is a Big Place and HokusPokus Catalogue. In Michele Barker and Anna Munster's new work HokusPokus, a robotic environment comes alive when we make our entrance, transforming darkened space into responsive place enabling exploration of the relationship between our attention and what we see or what we miss via engagement with the mesmerising performances of a consummate stage magician. He performs his magic, but it is we who are staged so that in observing ourselves we might discover something about both what it is and why it is we fail to see.
