Da Website


I'm starting this post because I want to start getting stuff on the website.

I have been thinking a lot about the strange situation our little group is in. We want to be a community but we're still figuring out what the principles of this community will look like. We want to make art together but we're miles apart. For myself I am eager to keep talking about all these issues but I want to start putting the art first.

I am eager to collaborate on projects. Until this happens I think it would be kinda cool to put some of my own stuff up on the website. I know i made a big stink about anonymity before, but until we're ACTUALLY a group serving people I wonder if it matters that much??? For example, in the future I can always take my name and personal work off the website and be present in an anonymous communal way only. In the meantime I think it would be awesome to start more visual dialogues. I don't mean that my work should be the focus of discussion, but perhaps it could be a vehicle to talk about issues of space, community, intentionality, language...all things I play with in my work. It is not about just touting my own stuff-- I would love to see/read/listen to everyone else's stuff too!!! Perhaps more collarboration can come out of this process.

So, my vote is to flood the website! Let's just do it! Let's just put everything up there and not worry so much about what happens!!! If problems arise we can cross those bridges then...but I want to get to the making!
