This week I’ve been working on an email, video and print based work exploring how web 2.0 has changed the distrubution and consumption methods available to us as a society… This started from extensive watching of You’ve Been Framed and Rude Tube and daily use of youtube and email. Over the next few days I’m going to be writing a text for this work and finishing off videos (which may take a bit longer than a few days) and after that I’ll be looking for a gallery or festival which will give me a chunk of space and access to its mailing list!!! Once these things have happened I’ll post more about it inc. a chuck of text, probs a few relivant quoats and poss some images and video!!!
I’m also waiting on delivary of the catalogue of the cardell collection (mentioned in last post) so I can start picking artefacts and objects I might like to see/investigate. I have also ordered a copy of a Bob and Roberta Smith book to remind myself and to show to the cardell collection how he interacted with the Garman Ryan collection at the New Art Gallery Walsall… Still really excited to see where this goes!!!
I havn’t done anything on the 200x enlarged simcard… still not having a studio is making making physical things really quite difficult…
I’ve also stared selecting music and burning it to CD-R for the DJ Set I mentioned in the last post, so far I have Phantom Orchard’s ‘Deft’, AGF’s ‘MyPatch’, Autechre’s ‘Eggshell’, Cory Arcangel’s ‘SourceMaster’ and a few others…More TBC…
