-…secretly-

But Secretly We Thirst is an interactive installation using various types of media and their synthesis.  The name comes from a poem by Herman Hesse, published as part of novel, The Glass Bead Game: Magister Ludi, a work for which Hesse received the Noble Prize.

The installation explores a phenomenon of human nature: need for sympathetic pain.  When people suffer they ultimately want comradeship.  They need to know that there are not alone.  Once they affirm this, they instantly feel better.  The degree of personal suffering is directly proportionate to measure of solitude.
