    Bertold Brecht developed strategies in the theatre - techniques of disruption - designed to mobilize people internally.
    Many of the strategies embedded in Beuys' work and contemporary social sculpture have a similar intention - to 'scratch on people's imagination' and enable people to become internally active. In order to act, especially in difficult circumstances, we need to be highly motivated. We need to 'connect' with the information. It needs to become experienced and real: 'connective practices' that develop our ability-to-respond! We think this is one of the key ways in which the aesthetic is linked to the ethical. How do you understand the connections between the aeshetic and the ethical?
