Welcome to my website.
This is an experimental site. As such, you can expect to see a lot of disorder and as much cyber-anarchy as I can throw at it. For a long, long time the domain had been slated to get the Flash treatment like Guy Hundere's site. During this period, he and I could never come to much agreement over how best to leverage the technology of the internet. More on that later.
I'm trying like hell to compose copy to update with, but it's become quite daunting, for a number of reasons:
- I refuse to simply host gallery images of my work, since I'm now convinced that any concept worth publishing will rely on accompanying text far more than pictures to convey its meaning.
- I'm an artist, not a writer. My goal is to exploit the new opportunities provided by the internet, a medium that is NOT an extension of print nor video.
- I'm terrible with the rough draft process, despite the fact that I've gathered heaps of notes ready to begin building with. More recently, I've come to believe that my notes may not be the productive tool I thought they would be.
- Even though I've measured my typing speed at 50-60 word per minute, that's still a snail's pace against the rate of speech. If you've ever seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, you might remember the scene where the character played by Robert Redford failed miserably at a challenge that forced him to restrict his posture as he shot. (blah, blah…) You could look at me like that: fast, hyper-focused, and effective, but only when I'm allowed to move freely. Video/sound may be the next step.
