The Acculturation Project is an outcome of earlier experiments/artworks dealing with cultural displacement. Cultural displacement is the pig that bleats.

Dictionary definitions of “culture” clarify the Latin and French origins of its meaning “to till”. To “cultivate” is to: refine, improve, train and educate. To cultivate is to civilize. It is an artificial inducement and ultimately an expression of power as one force suppresses another.

The concept of “culture” has always had strong links with art and science. Both interrupt and interfere with nature by changing and altering it, “perfecting” it if you like.

Acculturation is the process of being cultured.
