Commonly Stark

I discovered a sudden interest recently in photographs that:
  • are really crisp because of the flash
  • really common
  • really boring and deadpan
  • with little integrity
  • of a nature which shows little camera experience or knowledge of camera settings (AV/TV/ISO Settings/White Balance etc)
ie. Auto shoot.

Really stark pictures with (what seems like) uninteresting content nor emphasis on atmosphere.

Keeping-Up Drawing



man programming machine
man keeping up with machine

the action of following,
moving at the pace at which you set,
in a distance you made

where the act of drawing captures small pieces of time,
the result is static, like all drawings
yet it is vivid here,
that the notion of movement, and the delay of time are greatly significant

delay - within a decided pace. the extension of time
a game therefore? keeping up. cat and mouse?
all games have rules however. there are rules; like speed of scanner, space for object, size of object.

do devout Christians consider motorized transport a means of time travel?
when you consider delay. the extension of time. is this time travel within a created space? perhaps not in The Primary Universe, the reality of which we know, but time travel in the objects own right. The scanner intended, was built to, programmed to, capture an image within the given space. the object is intervened. the scanning begins its process, the scanning continues, but the object's placement moves. perhaps some information was lost, or some information repeated. if it is lost is it still caught up in "the networks of cyberspace". a black hole. if repeated, is this an opportunity for a piece of information, a piece of object to be re-scanned/re-explored/ re-visited/re-experienced within this space?

when you revisit the same place, you do so at different times.
in this case, the object revisits the same time but in a different place.



The Two Sides Of The Brain

Titled

QuarterMile1 Sculpture & Intermedia Exhibition

For me this space provided a chance for me to produce something quite instinctively from the ideas of "man and/vs machine" I had at the time. The space has been running since March 18th and has allowed me to put work in another environment for a strong period of time.

Brain Ideas - Titled
  • Gold = power, wealth, beauty
  • Height = superiority, dominance
  • Higher Powers, God like figures - not in the Christian sense - but bigger brains in the worlds and disciplines I study. I do not aspire to be like them, as their dominance is intimidatingly superior, but aspired by the effectiveness of their dominance. The architecture of "important brilliance."
  • Top Heavy
  • Swaying, moving, movement, animated, life-like, humanising.
Harrison & Wood.

The balance of one another, relying on one another.
The effectiveness of the uncomplicated.
