Project Abstracts --- 3D scan an object, 3D print that object, 3D scan the 3D print. Iterate. EPROMs intentionally exposed to light to destroy the data stored within the memory, possible integration of feedback loops. Lossy compression of text (possibly implementing JPEG algorithm to treat ASCII characters as pixels). A conversation between a man and woman sitting across from one another at a dimly lit table. Words are replaced by bursts of harsh digital noise. Faces are obscured, destroyed through some process inherent to the medium. In 1917, as Greenwich Village was becoming a center of bohemian and intellectual life, a group of artists and actors led by Marcel Duchamp, John Sloan, and Gertrude Drick, illicitly camped atop the Arch and declared Greenwich Village an independent nation. Modify wikipedia page for Washington Square Arch. Secede from wikipedia. Turn myself into a web browser. Read HTML and render it "by hand". Text-to-Speech software reads into to voice recognition dictation software. Iterate. Writing / Reinterpreting a play for modems. The modems are amplified by microphones, as if they are performers, with a performance consisting of spatialized audio. Random Thoughts --- What is the relationship between destruction and information (communication-centric processes)? "I, on the contrary, have been convinced for some time that perfection is not produced except marginally and by chance; therefore it deserves no interest at all, the true nature of things being revealed only in disintegration." - Italo Calvino As cells divide, the telomeres at the ends of chromosomes begin to fray and break off -- leads to aging and eventual death. Information loss leads to physical decay. Can the Earth be thought of as a realized monument of auto-destructive art? I don't trust places that are warm all year round. How does living in NYC in a small apartment affect my approach to art and its direction? "doing as much as you can with the little that you have" / "breaking boundaries" / destructive impulse / emphasis on digital works since they don't occupy space, etc.
