Where was I?

Much of this was created in my head while driving around trying to find
a grocery store open after six on a sunday. Unfortunately I would have to 
drive to Sydney, and that would take two days in a car other than my 
rusted 1979 Toyota Corolla. The interface is so chock full of words and
images from Marc that it slows significantly. But Marc's poem inspired me
to play with three dimensions, to fall into the texts, to pull people
into the words. Strangely while doing the tech work, my battery drained 
at three times the normal rate. Must be something about Marc's brain. 


Residency description:

Exploring interface and interactive creatures with content grabbed,
thrust, stolen, and borrowed  from new media artists, poets and
electronic pioneers. Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four
digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered
on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as
ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never
met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and
interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be
robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily
stroked.

Bio:
"As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I
bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through
skulls.  I could list those academic and worldly accolades that have
trophied themselves on my work, but I am only as good as the last
swirling mess I spit out. I live in Australia with a beautiful woman
and miss the snow, so miss the snow."
