Ex-Trauma: The Opposite of the Traumatic, the second volume of the Experiments and Intensities series, asks what, for contemporary post-industrial, post-Freudian societies, is an challenging question. Beyond the trite pronouncements of the New Age, is there such a thing as an event, or a human experience, that has the power of the traumatic over the psyche and body, but that does the opposite? What it to un- (rather than de-)traumatize, to have an effect as powerful as the traumatic but one which is – well – positive, for lack of a better term? Can we, as artists, even imagine the precise qualities of such events?  The video contributions here – sometimes works for video, sometimes documentation, sometimes audiovisual essay – all explore, albeit imperfectly, the edges of this impossibly utopian question.
