”An Imprecise Dictation,” by Aura Arreola and Gabriel Ojeda-Sagué, is an adaptation and intermedia expansion of the poem “Dictation” from Ojeda-Sagué’s most recent poetry collection, Madness. Incorporating Arreola’s performance and dance practice, along with atmospheric music and sound art by both artists, “An Imprecise Dictation" uses various forms of repetition and reiteration to reflect on the embodied crisis of air and water contamination in a speculative near future.
