Wordless Dialogue is an ongoing exploration of alternative communication methods, investigating whether subtle energy channels & psychic connections can be intentionally trained and exercised, rather than merely experienced as spontaneous phenomena. It challenges the limitations of written and verbal language, suggesting that these traditional forms, while intricate and beautiful, cannot fully express the complexity of human experience. By relying solely on them, we may overlook more effective means of conveying a richer message, especially when cultural bridges have been broken or gaps are too wide, leading to conflict.

The first experiment, Wordless Dialogue_a, was a 28-day wordless exchange between artist Pia Watson and composer Eduardo Garcilazo. Daily, a visual message sent at 7 a.m., with a sound at 7 p.m., though neither message physically reached the other. In Wordless Dialogue_b, Pia hosted online sessions where she mentally sent a colour for 15 minutes, and participants reported the colour they received, testing telepathic connections without physical contact.
