An Approximation of Lingual Aesthetics is:

part classroom demonstration, part performance. A collaboration between performer/video artist Enrico D. Wey and choreographer Lucy Yim inspired by the life of Karl von Frisch, who won the Nobel Prize in 1973 for his elucidation on the behavior of honeybees, specifically for his discovery of their communicative uses of dance (hive bees use the "round" and the "waggle" dance jointly to communicate the location of a source of food). An Approximation irreverently merges von Frisch’s scientific findings with the awkward machinations of two people who find themselves consumed by a single source of fascination - honey. Interlaced with found footage and text, a typical scholastic atmosphere soon slides off the scales as Fig.1 and Fig.2 are enveloped by a tiny, tiny obsession that puts their congruence at odds with one other.
