Have you seen Elizabeth Simonson's work? Wire sculpture and dense ink drawings, but they have a quality that's strangely digital. [link]

I read about that project some time ago, it's certainly bizarre. It's really the scale of the endeavour and the notable universities involved in the research that I find so unusual. Actually, the whole thing is unusual, but it's good to know how far people are willing to go to test atypical theories about consciousness.

I'm becoming more and more accustomed to being glared at as though I'm holding a bloody knife when I decide to smoke on the street.

Those smokeless nicotine tubes are bizarre. I'm not sure how that amounts to much more than adult thumb-sucking, and the model in their promotional pictures would be a lot sexier if she had thick tobacco smoke cascading out of her nostrils.

That's a very good idea, I'll start making a list. I gave up browsing, it's just too frustrating. I used to rely on the pages of people I know for finding new artists, but it seems as though everyone else has given up on looking for them too. Not being able to find real artists on an art site is really aggravating. I thought the new categories, like Mixed Media, would help, but somehow they've managed to stuff every single category with juvenile crap.

I think Asheville is the Amsterdam of NC

thanks a lot, i realise the work is rough but it was actually a last-minute thing that i was pleased with. maybe i'll work on it later when i have time.

SKINNY PUPPY!!!! Good stuff!!

The Internet.. serious business!

They were mostly funding tests with those ESP cards, you know like Bill Murray at the beginning of Ghostbusters when he still worked for the university.

Maybe their skip protection worked with ectoplasm.

Sooner or later the Japanese had to make a parasitic humanoid. They have a pretty thrilling view of technology. Did you kow that Sony has a research lab for ESP and psychic phenomena?

Brian,

I've been busy, sorry for the late reply.
I've done a few things that might just be ok to upload here.
I will do so in the next few days.

Missed my portfolio review, slept through the damn thing.
As soon as I finish a few things I'm working on get a short break, I'll have a good look at what you've uploaded.

I'm curious to see you've been up to these past few months.

Regards

Thanks so muchforcommenting. I'm in awe of your stuff: and +DevWatch

translation:

unemotional-desire-less man

...that's what she called him
trying to provoke emotion out of him (he thought)
he sad dormant
denying himself
waiting for her
pretending (unsuccessfully)
to be devoid of all emotion
secretly wanting her to pull his strings
which she did, saying in her silent voice
"I really admire your "ignorance" about yourself being ignorant of anything about desire,
emotions and so on."
she smiled...


when the strings are cut, or removed...
will he make his own choices or will he just lay there.....
depends on the puppet, no?

apologies for the delayed response, I've been busy with deadlines, various projects and just got through an exhibition with mixed feelings about how successful it was, there's always room for improvement.

I have a few major projects lined up, so I'm not going to be able to keep up with da, but I'll pop around now and then and have a look around.

About the change in cultural philosophy & aesthetic.
I agree not many people would put up with a 21st century kant and in our capitalistic corporate driven age, even fewer people would trade money for philosophy....
but I'm optimistic, education, understanding & knowledge will overcome the tyrannical fuckers who run the world, eventually

be well and enjoy

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it a great deal.

And on the topic of poking small holes in your head, I'm more incline to dig them.

thanks for the link, I'm just about to download, and I'll tell you want I think.

Don't ever give up the Eliot --> I agree, his work is still fresh to me, every time I read it, still affective, and still, I believe, relevant to our contemporary condition.
I'm just a sucker for "epics" more generally, I suppose --> also, if you haven't read it yet: David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest" is quite humorous, and follows in the experimental tradition of Joyce and Pynchon, in terms of the "long" novel.

Take care.
