STATEMENT:
In the Woods, a collaborative effort between Thom Swiss and Seth
Thompson examines the ideas of memory, aging and loss. The result
of the collaboration suggests the way language (in this case a poem
by Swiss) can be re-represented and changed by images (a film by
Thompson).
STATEMENT:
Someone very dear to me is off in the wilds of Quebec. I sent her
a screen-shot of a new media piece I was describing, so that she
could look over my shoulder. After uploading the picture, I made
another of screen-shots opened in my browser and subjected to strong
compression. I made the first because I'm a hopeless romantic. And
the second because of my desktop's charming replicability.
STATEMENT:
flipping through
files of the past
foggy dreams
liquid details
previous selves
engaged in convoluted gestures
mapping tangents
viewed from afar
harrowing tasks
reflections
upon ones identity
collaging ghosts
with objects on the way
