Xenium

A feast of delicious treats.  The snap shot of tools and mechanisms, the debris of production, through which it moves.  Not so much a aesthetic program, as a list of ingredients.

Content: personal as political, embodied or literally from the body, gendered, sexually self aware, generative; Presentation: daily, social, distributed audience, durational, embedded, networked, shareable; Principles: honesty, generosity, selflessness, a measure of humility, capacity for self-reflection and self-correction; Process: small pieces, specificity, experimentation, favoring iteration and repetition, embracing variance, accidents, and imperfection; Structure: organized, progressive, accumulative, juxtapositional, a linguistic or cultural system, atemporal, anti-temporal or conscientiously negotiating time. 

The fiction of objectivity has been revealed as a shared, constructed reality.  We abused it and now it’s broken. If we are going to find a common story, we will need to rebuild from first principles.  Pick your principles, tell your stories.
