Anikina and Bernhardt. Schelling Point

About

‘Schelling point’ (in game theory): in the absence of communication, individuals and groups that need to coordinate will often be able to correctly anticipate the other without prior contact. 

Applied to a two-person show, ‘Schelling point’ reflects the dynamics of a game of rock-paper-scissors, or courtship that emerges between the works engaged in mark-making, sensual histories and challenged time.
