hello, lately I have been looking at the work of my advisor tony dubovsky again with new eyes. He sends a drawing regularly via email, from a copy shop in Albany, CA. They arrive like messages of discipline and meditation. I have also been looking at the work of seyed alavi and julian opie in relation to my signal cabinet project. Seyed just put up two new pieces in emeryville, the best little city in CA.
Ive started using Facebook. It makes me feel a bit ancient, but I am enjoying finding people and listening to their lives humming along. It shows little snippets of conversations, quick gestures between people, that I like. I saw a bumper sticker in the school parking lot this morning that said 'honk if you play scrabble' and I felt like I was literally catapulted into the persons life. Whiz--into your living room where you play at a little card table, with friends--zoom, onto the web, maybe you play there?,--zoom, onto the freeway, where someone honks and you share a glance: do you play? and then the person is gone. The way those narratives open up, stretch across time and space, and close up again in a blink of an eye: that is what it is all about.
my other new favorite place is Google 3d warehouse, where you can download all kinds of wonderful models and work with them in sketchup.
