Summary: From 2007 to 2008, I collaborated with Marni Shindelman to conduct experiments in psychic espionage and remote viewing, mirroring methods of telepathic surveillance used by the US government during the cold war. We developed a specific methodology for making images to test our telepathic capabilities across a distance of approximately 500 miles.

During these experiments, one of the collaborators performed a specific series of tasks or actions during a predetermined time, which was telepathically observed and recorded by the other. The target selected five objects then attempted to psychically send the image and sensory experience of the object to the other artist. The photographic images, drawings and writings document the course of these experiments, the failures and nominal successes of the project. The resulting exhibition & catalogue, Witness, serves as a record and a testimony to the intersection of belief and science.

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

This past weekend, the Indie Photobook Library celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Thank you to all the photographers/artists/bookmakers that have made the collection what it is today! I’d also like to thank Advisory Board members Darius Himes, Andy Adams, Shane Lavalette, and Gabe Reed and all the venues that have welcomed the iPL. In the last two years, the collection has grown to almost 1000 books. The iPL continues to promote and showcase the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come. I am looking forward to continuing the iPL mission.

Cheers,
Larissa Leclair
Founder, Indie Photobook Library
