TIME/ENDLESSNESS/REPETITION...........

2008-03-08T01:58:00.005Z

by the way, this is definitely a joke. i was trying things out and they ended up so ridiculous that i just went with it, in the quest to make the WORST FILM ABOUT DURATION/SERIALITY/TEMPORALITY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(are there any other entries?)

DAWN OF A NEW ERA

2008-03-06T04:17:00.002Z

the internet is the new place for poetry, and its very instability and unpredictability is what we are so excited about. Never the same version twice! Your computer may not be compatible! Things look different depending on which screen you view them from!
Which sounds wonderful, untill it is your own project, and it looks completely different to how it did at home!!!

"what for example - of file formats?
in the ship's hulk - deserting rats?
java pipo pipes up download - frases
Adobe Acrobat - dances with elvis..."
- Loss Pequeno Glazier, Uniform

oh well

Nevertheless, my Telling Selves project may or may not be viewable here

and my 21st Century Vocabulary project (MyHisHer) may or not be working properly here
(but i suppose you won't really know either way...)

ASCII ART

2007-11-05T19:54:00.000Z

i like the idea of text becoming image (seen not read / seen and read) which is something i experimented with for the things that grow pages.

today i discovered ascii art; this generator is addictive!!

so i tried transforming my 'diamond made out of words' into a 'diamond made out of words, made out of letters, numbers, and symbols'.

PARTS 3, 4, 5

WORLD WIDE SPIDER WEB!!!

one of Michael Benedikt's definitions of Cyberspace:

its corridors form wherever electricity runs with intelligence. its chambers bloom wherever data gathers and is stored. its depths increase with every image or word or number, with every addition, every contribution, of fact or thought. its horizons recede in every direction; it breathes larger, it complexifies, it embraces and involves. billowing, glittering, humming, coursing, a borgesian library, a city; intimate, immense, firm, liquid, recognisable and unrecognisable at once.

This is almost definitely my starting point for the photoshop project. things that grow, expand, link etc - cyberspace!

but as with the flower, each part - though in some way representative of cyberspace/the internet - also represents something else, a dialogue or rather a chorus, and always the everpresent and ominous "us"!!

so, this is part 2...

and here is the original which was traced over:

PETAL PROJECT

this is one of my photoshop experiments. it will probably form a series of "poems that grow" or something along those lines!

IN THE MEAN TIME...

here are some pictures of books that i experimented on for the small publishers book fair

the theme was elements

earth closed

earth open

fire closed

air closed

you will be seeing fireworks! but until i can create some of my own on photoshop (so far they have all been duds), you are looking at a picture of fireworks instead.
