Thank you Michael, your observations are very interesting. This has been an aspect of the project I didn't anticipate but is clearly another important facet. If the original conceit was that digital media and blogging meant one never really had to stop working on a piece, the same open-endedness allows for breaks and changes in frequency. The passage of time and life, activity and inactivity, remains part of the whole. Reading your reply gave me a funny vision of a future self posting one last image from my deathbed after decades of dormancy.
That being said, your reply made my day and was hopefully the kick in the pants I needed to sustain a longer period of regular activity. Thank you sincerely for reminding me that anyone had been paying attention in the first place. :) Corey On 7/11/12 6:28 AM, Michael Szpakowski wrote: great! how nice to have this back! it's funny, though - there's a really interesting thing going on here when a diaristic form/container which intially was frequently updated is now only intermittently so. It doesn't have the sad feel of abandonment that a completely discarded project might , instead it gives us (well, me at least) a very palpable sense of the passing of both objective and subjective time which sense then becomes part of the affect of the piece... I'm convinced that the mere fact of the net lending itself so naturally to repeated, networked, posting within a set framework over time is one of its most radical features...that and e mail , much more than "interactivity" &c. being the really profound shifts... cheers michael ------------------------------ *From:* Corey Eiseman <[email protected]> *To:* netbehaviour <[email protected]> *Sent:* Wednesday, July 11, 2012 3:46 AM *Subject:* [NetBehaviour] toegristle #309 http://toegristle.com/perpetual-canvas/309 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
