Satsang means “being-together in truth.”

SATSANG is a public artwork that appears where the world gathers. I set up two chairs beneath a white helium balloon and sit in stillness. Whoever sits across from me receives my complete and undivided attention.

This creates a liminal temple—a sacred threshold that appears without warning in ordinary space, recalling what anarchist philosopher-poet Hakim Bey calls a Temporary Autonomous Zone. You don’t need to know what it is to enter it. You only need to be curious enough to sit down.

Through a strict relational liturgy—the offering of tea, three minutes of sustained open-eye meditation, and two direct existential inquiries—the practice systematically strips away social performance. It forces an immediate, non-dual confrontation with identity and mortality. It is an invitation to witness the shared consciousness that exists when the noise of the world is momentarily suspended.
