Watch the Gap: The Shock of Application and Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Strive to Fail!

Even if Lisa le Freuvre presents the idea in the context of art-making in “Strive to Fail,” her statement that “the endemic presence of failure … is the gap between intention and realization” (13) is worth applying to a wider social context. The gap should be played  with, too: cutting it apart or covering it up, as we shall see. At the very least, even if this statement is read in terms of artistic production, as it was originally intended, it is helpful to ask what happens when the relationship between intention and realization doesn’t have an idealized, one-to-one relationship between content and form. Or, to consider what happens when the intention is instead transformed or deformed through its realization in an altogether different context.
