THE WORLD TELEKINESIS COMPETITION
The WORLD TELEKINESIS COMPETITION is a forum for speculative action -- an organized tournament in which teams from around the world engage in psychic competition to remotely influence the behavior of a candle. Matches are played by lighting a candle at the centre of the official game board, at an agreed-upon time, signaling the beginning of the game. A match lasts for one hour, or until the game candle is extinguished, whichever comes first. In the event of a tie at the end of one hour, the match goes into sudden death. The object of the game is to have the wax from the candle drip onto the opposing team's side of the game board. This objective is to be accomplished by remote telekinetic influence. The winning team will be awarded the World Telekinesis Competition trophy, which they will get to keep until next year's competition.

As in previous years, the 2012 World Telekinesis Competition will involve a series of web-cast matches, and a public installation in the Noxious Sector Projects window gallery in Seattle, WA. We will also be producing a tournament catalogue, that will be made available by the end of the year.To commemorate the 5th anniversary of the World Telekinesis Competition, we will also be producing a set of championship rings that will be sent to the winning team, along with the tournament trophy.
ABOUT US
Noxious Sector is a formalized forum for informal inquiry. Dedicated to the exploration of questions of the imaginative, the paranormal and the absurd, Noxious Sector attempts to redefine the meaning of artistic possibility through extended propositions that challenge consensual norms while also provoking stimulating forums for dialogue and discourse. This year's WTC will be organized by Noxious Sector members Ted Hiebert and Doug Jarvis.
