Artists Meeting http://artistsmeeting.org

My piece "Codex 2007" was recently mentioned on Furtherfield.org.  For those of you looking to preview Codex 2007  I've rendered out a preview of the real-time piece, of course it's not the real thing but this will have to do.

CHEERS,

Codex is a clearing house of video clips, audio sound bytes and textual pieces created but never finished since I moved to NYC in 2003. Through the use of a semi-random algorithm the narrative body flows through sorted sets and grouping of ideas and movie clips that deal with fictional and non-fictional mini-narratives. The mini-narratives range from subjects concerning geography, technology, capitalism, socialism, political history, spiritualism, the occult, multiplicity, and direct observations of urban life on both broad and micro levels.

It's a movie that is never complete, never ending and never the same twice. It's about me, you and everything around us past present and future. Call it artful dodging by computational power, call it laziness, call it a hopeless but beautiful mess because who has time to sort out interrelated ideas, who has time for anything longer that 30 seconds ? I don't but the codex, or rather algorithm does and can neatly sort it all out for us.
