Blog World

There's got to be at least one post a week from
me on this thing.


What have I done this past week?

Done art, worked, saw a couple shows,
and answered many other blogs
(including some other Simpleposies)



Here is a quote from an artist I always admired, named Tom Ellard
(of early electronic band Severed Heads, who's been working with film score
lately, and still in 2005 creating the videos accompanying his own music:
all info on his website: )

You can't have dialog with a blog. One person is 'on stage' and the rest are 'the audience'. Even with links and responses, blogs enforce a unequal conversation between the person doing the asserting - the performer, and the rest. They can only set up their own stages and thus blogs multiply as people errect their own stages. Eventually when all these people have stages they may as well have set up a mailing list.

We all spent a long time trying to break down the stage, but the 'kids' are
busy building it up again. Let them, they will spend their lives trying to
be celebrities and maybe their children will despise them and reinvent the
notion of community.

(the quote is from the mailing list from his site, a forum of discussion
on mostly, electronic music and computer geer)



Of course I replied to him, saying
that blog can be purposeful depending
on how much it is focussed, and certainly
an interesting medium for artistic explorations.


Blogs are autistic and suit me very well:
they provide with self-channelling and
exactitude in the task of archiving.
