And the Market will Set You Free.

I made this after reading and thinking about Naomi Klein’s essay  Baghdad Year Zero in Harpers. The idea leaving  the reconstuction (both material and psychic )  of a country reeling from ten years of sanctions, rule by tyrant, and military invasion to ‘market forces’; We’ve seen such things before sadly. What will the ‘ general consequences ‘ of ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ fifteen years from now ? The piece is a bit heavy handed I think, but these are heavy handed times…

Video Games of the Future Mark

Collapsed Nth dimensional inverted geodesic protocol cluster (exploded view)

The thing is, it’s really impossible to get the gist of what this is through a screen. We’re depicting inverted nth dimensional topologies, which is hard enough to do, let alone photograph.

This will be glued together this week, note the exposed canvas edges, I like those, I like the idea of a canvas whose conceptual or representatonal attempts have imploded it, but whose ragged edges still flailingly map onto 3 dimensional time/space.

Something else I like about my place, on the hour, you can hear and feel (it shakes the house) the shunting of trains together, through the night.

Teraflock Aggregate

This is an example of more of the size and scale of what I’m interested in:

Again, a naive depiction of information objects and models in flux, communication, and transition.

Frequent Causality

So, I don’t think they’re crazy good, but they’re alright. I’d like more in this style but larger, as a larger frame of reference is more condusive to a sense of collapsing, imploding and decentred space. THe ‘nice’ thing is the detail, which it’s pretty hard to see at this detail. Oh, Number 8 is already taken.
