The Manual Project, an experimental sound and video project created by visual artist Christina Hunt Wood, musicians Julie Licata and Darwin Marcus Johnson, and sound engineer Andris Balins borrows from the “how-to video” genre and examines the normalization of the absurd—and the disorientation felt when in dialogue with it. The project is dynamic and includes several variations currently with room for additional videos and/or live performances in the future.

The Manual Project is made possible in part with funds from the Delaware County Arts Grants, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the New York State Legislature and administered in Delaware County by the Roxbury Arts Group.
