Many of the artistic practices brought together in Nonknowledge remind us of Wittgenstein's fundamental explanation of human perception and comprehension: that we can not conceive of something we do not have the language to describe – "the limits of your language are the limits of your world". By attuning to a language outside of common communication, artists can present an avenue for perception which both reflects on the conditions of knowing, and places the spectator on the opposite side of illumination – in the vast possibilities of nonknowledge.
