TEXT
I.
Pointillism and the pixel. Legibility and an aesthetic of blindness. Transformation. 1,000 years of Primary Forms. Pictures that barely survive. Digital media and the hand. Projections for a built environment. Retaining the gesture. Screens are real. A database of visual syntax. The symbolic process. A genealogy of artists. The art object as a kunstkammer of memories. The Dynamic Monochrome. Personal objectivity. Paintings ripped from stretcher bars and used for shelter.
II.
Abstraction, Obfuscation and the News Media /// Partisan, Controlled, and Undecipherable /// Empirical Evidence for Unprovable Theories /// Individualism + Globalism = Unconscious Conformity /// Abstraction that argues for significance /// Avoiding Geo-Spatial Imaging and a Poetic for Today /// A Diary of Understanding Pictures /// Persistent Surveillance and Personal Abstraction /// Irreducible Complexity /// Scientific Absolutes and Moral Ambiguities /// When "choice" becomes an acceptable synonym for murder /// Cloud-based computing and the pictorial interface /// Photographs as intelligence documents and maps as potential targets /// Art that is under constant re-construction . . .
III.
A House Of Other People's Ideas. Materials with Multiple Meanings. Art that is being absorbed and remixed. Objects and pictures as time capsules of a cultural moment. Text that grows. A perfect environment is no guarantee of a perfect outcome. Dreams are great, but reality is better . . .
