Metacognition
Metacognition, HD video, 2:01 minutes, 2011.
This video opens with a pair of hands struggling to spell out a large word—Metacognition, transitions to a figure standing directly in the frame and posture ready. Tiles fall slowly. Each delicate ceramic piece has a letter imprinted into it. Some pieces are caught while others fall to the floor and break. The tiles fall faster. Information is knocked out of the hands and replaced with new information. The tiles stop falling and the dust settles. We see the figure holding the lettered tiles. Just a few have remained in hand. Are there enough tiles left to understand the message?
