[NetBehaviour] The Jeremy Bailey Interview on the Netbehaviour.

[richard willis]

really enjoying this interview format. so many listserv mails are enormously
long and discourage reading whilst this piecemeal approach is much less
overwhelming and you get to enjoy the dialogue as it rolls along through
time, bit like keeping up with a soap opera.

> It is interesting how well the main image that you have designed for
> 'WarMail', relates to the references you have posted. This shows an
> attention to fine detail, not just with respect to the colour used, but
> also the form and composition. The triangle used in 'WarMail'
> symbolically could be associated to the American One Dollar Bill (I'm
> using a shorter link here just to be practical for the list)
> http://tinyurl.com/6paf9x - it also seems fitting that the latin words
> 'Novus ordo seclorum' when translated mean 'New Order of the Ages'.
> Scary stuff, almost Star Wars rhetoric.

> "The phrase Novus ordo seclorum (Latin for "New Order of the Ages")
> appears on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, first
> designed in 1782 and printed on the back of the American dollar bill
> since 1935..."
>
> "The phrase is often mistranslated as "New World Order," but the Latin
> for that phrase would be Novus Ordo Mundi." Wikipedia -

> So, I have two questions. The first is whether you were conscious of
> these connections?
>
> The other is asking if you could share with us the context and processes
> of the 'WarMail' performance at the Gallery next Friday?
