Employing drawing as a tool and prompting contemplation on imagery, representation, and the capacity to evoke sensations, I worked with a group of 12 individuals over a span of 15 days.

A set of guidelines accompanied the process, encouraging the creation of personalized perceptual paths, questioning visual paradigms, and invoking forces

and perceptions beyond the ordinary —

immaterial, cosmic, and unknown.
These practices constitute what I refer to as

the summoning of force-images and vital forces, the vital images.
Practices of listening, enchanting, and summoning the cosmic body embody the aesthetic-ethical-political clinic.

— Do not doubt your imagination.
— Choose living things: stones, plants, shells, branches. Leave them together

with the drawing materials.
— In the circle, with eyes closed, say

your name out loud.
— Touch your own body and its

contours with some force; the body is

our material index of existence.
— Massage your hands, head, face,

gums, palate, and jaws.
— Feel the vibration in your hands and

body, notice the quality of presence

that has been established.
— With the group, enter meditation to

activate intuition.

— Listen to the music, lie down, and relax.

— Live each image and thought, but do not hold onto them to "remember later."

— Slowly and at your own pace, rise. — With eyes closed and touching the

objects you chose, one at a time, draw the sensation and vibration. Do not represent the form.

— Throughout the whole period, enter meditation to activate intuition in the morning upon waking; then, draw the sensation of last night's dreams.
