All right, I'm really on my way out of town for four days, and I really need to stop, but Tom's posting of my image reminds me- what many people seem to have the hardest time talking about is the art itself. And in my case (Tom, your's too, I think [yeah, in the other panelists's, too]), besides all the talk about coding and orginality and distribution and location of the body and so on, the thing that is ulimately what this all about, what interests me the most, is the image. What is that image about? What's the connection to the title, "Cinematic Dataculture?" Why those colors, those shapes, those effects? It seems like one of the more fundamental and obvious places to begin.
I make these images with something in mind, in response to something. The image "Cinematic Dataculture" isn't arbitrary. But I'm not going to explain it all. That's not a refusal- most artists, especially those dealing with some level of intentional abstraction, aren't going to do that for you, either.
Man, I need a break.
