[NetBehaviour] Fwd: Alan....Joseph... JPG: residency proposal

[marc]

I vote for Rich,

but would definately love to have Alan Sondheim straight afterwards.

In the meantime, we are re-designing the Netbehaviour web site so much 
of information is more accessible and info regarding residencies is more 
specific...

>>dear netbehaviourists
>>
>>I would like to propose the following residency:
>>
>>Joint Picture Generation (JPG)
>>the composite image challenge
>>
>>netbehaviour residency proposal
>>rich white
>>
>>a single .jpg which develops through list member collaboration.
>>
>>at the beginning of the residency i will post a .jpg to the list. this
>>image will be a drawing made from scratch using photoshop. it will be a
>>simple, abstract image made using just black and  white.
>>list members are then invited to work on the drawing and post it back 
>>to
>>the list.
>>everyday i will add all list members additions to the image to create a
>>composite of all collaborations and then work on the image myself,
>>rearranging the imagery submitted but again only using black and white
>>to make marks.
>>i then post the update back to the list and the process begins again.
>>this continues for the duration of the residency (2 weeks).
>>
>>(this is similar to the 'vs' image battles that exist on the web except
>>for the fact that i will not be working a back and forth pattern (my
>>turn, your turn etc...), particularly because i anticipate  having a
>>number of list members inputting simultaneously, i will just mix in new
>>posts as they happen.)
>>
>>the few rules are as follows:
>>- only the resident is restricted to black and white. list members may
>>add any imagery.
>>- the image must remain the same dimensions in pixels.
>>- the image may be transfered to flash or other vector software,
>>photographed off the screen, anything list members can think of to
>>manipulate the image. but it must return to the list as a .jpg.
>>
>>the purpose of the residency is to continually challenge me to 
>>disguise,
>>transform or hide recognisable imagery from the composite mix of those
>>submitted. I will try to create an image that does not remind the 
>>viewer
>>of anything - this is the composite image challenge.
>>after each image posting I would welcome suggestions as to what the
>>image reminds you of, and try and use these as guidelines for how (or
>>how not) to develop the piece.
>>
>>the origins of this idea come from recent thoughts about digitally
>>created imagery; in particular drawing with a computer and using paint
>>software as a medium for drawing, and thinking about the validity of 
>>the
>>computer-made mark.
>>i would like to use this residency not only to challenge myself with 
>>the
>>task of drawing in this fashion, but also invite list members to submit
>>their interpretation of drawing, and through this interaction to
>>challenge me to make visual sense, through one image, of the multiple
>>ideas submitted.
>>The residency also reflects the broader aspects of my practice where I
>>am exploring ideas of creating works which have no context or basis in
>>our visual frame of reference. through this I am examining the 
>>processes
>>of originality and value, and the creation of belief in these ideas.
>>
>>the end result of the residency will be a series of progressive images
>>charting the development of the work, along with information on
>>collaborators and the suggestions submitted.
>>
>>I'll leave it in your hands.
>>cheers
