Examining the human experience through a collaborative process St Marie φ Walker scrutinize their own conscious perceptions of being-in-the-world through fervent dialogical conversations. <em>The Re-examined Life</em> is an exhibition of contemplative and interactive modules that question our expectations of conventional perceptions, belief systems and value judgments. The modules reflect social environments through the use of familiar objects and framing. The installation features five modules: Social Bank, Identity Centre, Reflective Sculptures, Community Tables, and Listening Lounge. Visitors are witnesses and cooperative participants encouraged to interact with each module and to openly reflect on how the authority of physical space and social systems shape who we are in the world.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">St Marie φ Walker is the collaborative authorship of Denise St Marie and Timothy Walker.
