‘I’ll describe the works for you…’ 
— Diderot writes to his friend and publisher, Grimm

A co-publishing initiative of 3-ply and Liquid Architecture’s Disclaimer journal, 1:1:♾ is an episodic column that offers a radical expansion in ratios of access. Voiced descriptions of artworks, performances, and situations, commissioned from our friends and associates, pivot on the Describer as embodied proxy and subjective guide. Turning from objective tropes, we invite conversational, improvised description, as if speaking to an intimate other. Each description is recorded in place, as the narrator navigates spontaneous perceptions, personal reactions, and critical relations to the works, structures, and happenings we cannot see.

5."We get in touch with things at the point they break down //
even in the absence of spectators and audiences, dust circulates..."
