Out of the Mud - Episode Eight: The Final Countdown

As we count down the last remaining days before Mosaic Experiment 2022: Off and On Again, Out of the Mud continues to collapse further in on itself in this year's final episode.

Fighting the inevitable destruction of the Mudworks Studio by the wrathful Mud Gods, everyman and Corvus bring on our new Art Grant Leads, VeryKateri and Lost, as well as our new Consent Team Lead, Bunikat, to talk about something very important before we head back to Reclaim:

The defacement, vandalization, and theft of art.

Radical Self-Expression through art of all forms is what Mosaic Experiment was founded upon, and our community members spend countless hours pouring their heart and souls into the art they bring to our event. In light of some unfortunate instances that occurred the last time we burned in person, we want to make it very clear that any disrespect given to art pieces or the wishes of the artists that created them is a direct violation of consent and it will not be tolerated in our community.

Lost and VeryKateri talk about how they will be working with our Art Grant recipients, as well as any other artists bringing art installations, in order to provide signage to help communicate what is and is not acceptable in terms of the level of interactivity these pieces will have and Bunikat discusses the importance of both artists and participants communicating with each other in order to clarify expectations and set boundaries to be respected surrounding the art installations brought to the event.

Finally, Corvus returns from working on the effigy just in time for the entire podcast to be devoured completely by a supermassive blackhole; leaving no trace that it ever existed.
