I can see what Annie means about the web versions - there's something
more contained and controlled about them which makes them more
digestible ( I don't mean "easier", I mean more of a piece, more
something that feels like a controlled emanation from an artist. With
the others -yes, we are seeing documentation ( it that how you see it Curt?
-if it is I would have been very interested in how you might have set
about making videos that were intended as artworks in themselves rather
than the kind of "analogical" thing going on with the web
versions)..but..there's something quite enchanting about the sense of
specific locations conjured in those videos ( particularly the climb to
the tree house, though they all have it). The doll piece is wonderfully
*dark*; it might seem less so to you as you have the timeline of
participants and their feelings and intentions presumably pretty
rehearsed in your head but to someone coming to it fresh it evokes a
genuine unease ( and a poetry too). Your son makes a neat stop motion video.(
BTW I initially read the tag attached to the doll as a religious reference)
I
found the compartmentalised box with the stones and *that noise*,
somehow very moving and I haven't the faintest idea why except perhaps
the suspicion that it might bring childhood memories of handling and
sorting found things back to the surface.
It's
evocative and humane work but it's also knotty and thorny and requires
some commitment from the viewer..good things in my view.
Thanks for sharing these - I look forward to the book.
best wishes
michael

Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] some new work
I prefer the webversions to the videos
which is probably logical
I might also have liked the real installations if I could have visited them
alone.
That also explains why I prefer the webversions - the video is the view made by
the other.
I would love to hear Curt talking about this, why, how, what - are you
analysing the works Curt?
best
Annie
