I feel like it's bedtime
but I have to stay up, until 11:30 to teach some things about editing and show some strange videos. Fuck! I just remembered the reading I was going to do this evening but I spent the whole night working on this picture fer my new desktop.
this is a scaled down version.

I've got some kind of obsession with dismemberment lately. I'm off to the tub to speed read a little Soft Subversions. It's already taught me that we're all homosexuals, hopefully, so that's reassuring.

new computer
I'm the luckiest and most in debt girl in the world. My baby has arrived, ohhhhh, so sleek and shiny. The Internet is magically connected. It has to be the neighbors. Is this wrong? to be typing on their connection or whatever?

fucking art dude
well, back when MOMA(read Hal foster) had that show on primitive art where Picasso's works were put with tribal mask and so on this brought up a huge argument about the context of art. It turned out that in academia, context is important. Lets think about the context of the situation of Soyeon seeing a picture that sexualized Asian culture on a website where she is one of the few asian members. She must have been hurt by that since she is a closed person when it comes to the body (a fear of being perceived as a fuck toy) but perhaps ajay only knows soyeon from the journal and thought that she was a free spirited wild woman. That describes me better it think.
Pluralism is the big word for the late 20th century. Is that carrying over? Who knows?
Art is subjective so of course if a group of people tries to define art they're going to argue about it. As far as huge monuments like the Eiffel tower go, ajay, i think that they are a symbol of imperialistic culture and will on day be destroyed when the oppressed are enlightened and take over.
as far as being an art authority Paul, isn't that what grad school is about for artist? to give them enough authority so that people will trust in them enough to hire them to teach "art" to others? you an art authority yourself, right? I hate the system myself but I'm in it because of selfishness. I would rather try to teach video art that work in the carpet mill with lori.
Look below at Clyde Jones art. He never went to any university but is he more of an artist then the bulk of the students working on their MFA at the university at buffalo? I say yes but you may of course disagree. Art is communicating an idea, how effective it is depends on a number of factors.

I met this guy a few years back. He lives in the little mill town my dad grew up in. Take a gander at his critters.

shit
I drove up here to school at 4 in the morning only to realize that i forgot the keys to me locker so my harddrive and tapes are unobtainable. I brought some tapes from home but who knows if they're anything worth fucking with. i'll find out shortly.
I cleaned my apartment this weekend to prepare for my sisters arrival on Friday. i want it to be clean but not to clean (that would freak her out).
I'm not feeling the day of love. Fuck Eros.
