R.E.m.I/X

Rolling through the atmosphere a cloud of structural being. Making up the meanings of what we breathe. in and out. What we are. in and out. Create the form and the shape. Wrap the mind around the body and the body around the mind. Remix is the shift from reality to ideal identity. The changing of persona to persona. Reinvention of self and being. Extraction of the wants and needs from what drives you. What thrives you. What moves your mind in all directions focuses on one single pin prick. That one focus. You identify, you mold like clay to fit the criteria. Smashing all edges of the 1s 0s of your makeup. You fit. You are a morphed identity. An action of forward motion. Like Anna Nicole or Michael Jackson identity remix can take you down. Bring you up. Take you down. As fake as the plastikos coating his nose. Her breasts. B.U.I.L.T T.O. C.R.A.S.H.
Remix- a mix up of personality. A melting pot of oozing noise and theory. Making rhythem form fit the body. Internalizing the sound waves. Hitting the ears. Bouncing off the canal walls. Stroking the drums. Drums hit drums. Flooding the brain with airwave science. ((Waves))...

Remix of waves to waves. Which waves are the right waves? Both are capable. Embodiment of motion and sound and vitality. Rhythem science of ocianic beauty. Crashing rocks over and over, never stopping, flowing beat. A liquid expression of airwave rhythem sound. Waves making sound waves. Remix of wave identity.

**To Be continued** (just received the book this morning thanks to slow shipping, want to read more before I add)

((Finally))

I want to use a blurb book (blurb.com) and digital narrative format to explore what it means to do a digital narrative. I am so interested by the changes and shifts going on in technology. I used to do narrative sequences through traditional photography processes and as my first digital narrative, I want to have both a digital work and an analogue work displaying the same digital art as an example of a move in tradition. It will be an exploration of if/how a work can exist both digitally and materially and convey the same meaning, or if interactivity plays too large a role in digital narratives for the same concept to show through in both mediums. I have been thinking a lot about the concept of existence and space. Where and how a work exists seems to be such a deep rooted concept in art and I would like to explore the issues that arise with how a piece is displayed. I have purchased my domain name for the work (www.artographical.com). For the content of the piece, I want to stay consistent with the exploration of technology. I have been collecting text messages I have received over the past few months, writing them down, knowing I have been wanting to do something with the concept of text messaging. I find the fact that sending letters or knocking on neighbors doors for communication is a fairly dead concept. While visiting a friend of mine, I witnessed him text his roommate who was in the room next to him. The communication intermediary the cell phone plays between people is something I find amazing. Face to face personal contact is not needed anymore. Online dating, chat rooms, cell phones, technology. These ideas are what I want to base my work on. How communication made a technological advancement. I want to portray it in a slightly sarcastic way. I think the content I have in mind will pose as interesting in both digital narrative form and in the book I create and I can't wait to see what visual and conceptual challenges it will create.

Oh how I love Duane Michals' work.

His "Things are queer" series was my first inspiration years ago to make narrative pieces through darkroom processing, and now I am going that route digitally. How cool to cary concepts over through technological changes and advancements.
