Comprised of original performances, sound-based sculpture, performative painting and online commissions, SYMM existed between the other CCA graduate projects and audience-participants were invited to navigate the ‘traces’ of missed connections.

Using darkness as a unifying presence between audience and musicians the work abandoned the conventional audio-visual codes of transmission in an immersive sonic environment. For Marco Godoy’s Bread, education, freedom (If I were in your shoes) delved into the mechanics of empathy as heard, felt and handed down through political protest. The work unfurled through the galleries and beyond as performances, films and an installation. In Navine G. Khan-Dossos’, titular Sorry you missed me, a diptych based on the language of telegrams, the geometric aesthetic of Morse code, and the RGB digital colour palette extended throughout the gallery with smaller text speak versions providing interruptions without translation. Hanne Lippard's Phallucinations, a multi-medium work manifested as performance, a spam email and installation saw Dr. Helen - a character of Lippard's creation promise bigger, harder  and longer fiscal satisfaction which left impotent natural and man-made monuments in the wake of the artist’s performance as marks of frustrated moments of communication. The Public is Touching (The Iron Fist in the Rubber Glove) manifested in an intervention by Amy Spiers and Catherine Ryan. Systems of power were crystalised by an unexplained ‘rule’ where visitors were required to don nitril upon the request of college security guards.
