2000 paces
This is a print I made. I attached a glazed cardboard plate to my barefoot, and walked from hanover to vermont. Then i inked up the plate, and ran it through a printing press. The result has gotten good reactions, and i like it, but the concept is still a work in progress. i would like to do some sort of political activity, or cross some boundaries, and then show this as the evidence of sorts.
Process
any book that was written before 2002 is old. (which is not to say irrelevant)
there is no time for things anymore. things slow us down.
i am trying to figure out new ways of setting up systems to be continually updated. because if you make something, you will want it to change so soon. upon writing a book, there is continuous editing to be done. upon publishing we are aware of how stale it is.
the idea of completion is bad, halfhearted and rotten.
we are getting to a point where it is not important to make things... there is no time to put things together.
it is the process that is meaningful.
we need ways of capturing the process, so that what we learn can be accessed by others, without us having to sit down and spoon feed it to them. this means we need not write for an audience. only for ourselves, but in such a way that the audience can get it.
and in such a way that by seeing our most recent output, they get it, and everything before it.
does that make sense?

Machine
I bought a little electric motor and attached some different mark-making utensils to the end, I like these little ring wormy things i got.
The idea here is to construct a machine that would draw patterns depending on input from some other source. Perhaps the energy use of a household fed through a microprocessor, or i could construct some analog sensor... opening a door could trigger the motor due to the physical force, something like that... more to come.
