Abstract
This paper explores telepathy as a tool and method of collaboration within
international visual art practice since the 1960s. The words telepathy and
telethesia were coined simultaneously when Frederic Myers founded the
Society for Psychical Research in London in 1882. However, telepathy
names an experience of distant (tele) feeling (pathos) or ideas (thesia)
found in all cultures. Telepathy and collaboration are tools that a number of
artists reach for simultaneously when attempting to share and/or transform
subjectivity. This raises questions of the overlapping similarity between telepathy and collaboration, and of what it means to collaborate using telepathy. What is shared between telepathy and collaboration, and what is different?
