The Year of the Rope, 1
Not exactly sure what the name of the diptych is going to be yet, but this is the name of the original performance on which it’s based. The process requires that we number and individually paint each of 10800 squares drawn on a 30 x 40 canvas. It’s somewhat tedious work, but enjoyable at the same time. I’ve always enjoyed numbers…

And this one will take a long time.
A diptych, this painting touches on a lot of aspects of our work, including both the history of performance and its live element, The Cover Artists, factory work + labor, and the relationship between digital and analog.
I hope to post various iterations as the paintings progress, but for now, here is the digital sketch of the LHS canvas. Both canvases measure 30 X 40 inches and are each comprised of 10,800 1/3 inch squares that will be individually painted.

Live Feed is a meditation on the increasingly complex ways the Internet automates our identities + interactions.
Alison Knowles Newspaper Music (1965) – a performance during which a variable number of people simultaneously read aloud from different newspapers – was the original inspiration for the basic form of Live Feed.

Come see me perform the first iteration entitled, Me/assage Me, LIVE at H+R Block Artspace on Friday, October 14 from 6-8pm.

In the June issue of WIRED, Clive Thompson asserts that,
“Automatic-translation software has long been treated as a joke because of how hilariously it mangles phrases. But in the past few years, something has shifted: The technology is now surprisingly mature.”

Bittersweet, it is. Leaving Chicago.
Lots of good friends, and good times, and good laughs.
But then there were the winters, the hangovers, and the joblessness.
So that’s that.
As a farewell, we decided to stack all our stuff up in the windows of Fishbowl.
Enjoy.
An article by Ivan Moreno in the Associated Press (Denver):
“Colorado artists want to give a futuristic makeover to the rustic sheep wagons used by immigrant workers across the West.
Immigrants from Peru, Chile, Mexico and Nepal who come to the U.S. sometimes live in worn-out one-room trailers in desolate landscapes, including in Wyoming, California, and Utah. The working conditions caught the attention of Colorado lawmakers this year, but no legislation materialized…”
