The Subject of this Portrait

Digital note that says, 'How to curate Venice biennale: Treat it like a recursion problem with defined rules such as:
- Head curator chooses the largest piece in the largest room
- For every large piece chosen, two other curators are chosen to choose medium-sized works on the left and right side
- Every subsequent work in that room must be smaller and must be somehow in dialog with the previously chosen work
- Chosen curators must be from different continents
- Then those curators choose less well known curators, who chose less well known artists, to select smaller works on the left and right side of the medium-sized works
This is repeated until the room is full. Then proceed to the next room. ' — Screenshot from Evernote notebook

Digital note that says, 'Light boxes (light painting series): 18.06.18 - Inspired by set design from Time Moving Slowly Through A Room, these are thick white frames that hide LEDs that cast colored light perfectly onto the wall behind them (frames are hollow). LEDs can be programmed to shift colors over time. I kinda like the idea of the colors switching sides over a number of hours so there’s a perfectly solid color that occurs. Sizes vary from medium to freakin’ huge.

Once installed, viewer can paint the wall behind them different colors to change the piece entirely. Followed by sketches of three cubes, each with one side colored in with two separate colors. — Screenshot from Evernote notebook

Digital note that says, 'emoji face distorter: electrode brain cap that somehow controls facial muscles is attached to a mac pro-esque touch bar that has a library of emojis to choose from. performer or possibly participant chooses an emoji from the pallet and the user’s facial muscles distort to willfully create the expression.

inspiration: brian telling me how his kid is starting to use internet acronyms (AFK–away from keyboard) in common parlance. how long until we can reply to IRL interactions w IRL emojis?' — Screenshot from Evernote notebook

Digital note that says, 'The Fountain: reminded of this idea while listening to Under the Skin by Linda Villarosa

Simply a water fountain that spouts tap water imported from Flint, MI. Bonus to make the surrounding environment resemble a public school; tall and short fountain combo. Would be good for a biennial (whitney)' — Screenshot from Evernote notebook

Digital note that says, Human fishing short film: Extension of Sean’s idea, bunch of people sitting around dinner table eating, chatting, wine, fireplace, nice setting, relaxing, etc. All of a sudden a tractor beam of sorts focuses on one of the friends and with vicious force, yanks this person upwards, through the ceiling, through the sky, through the different layers of atmosphere, until he finally comes to rest at the top of the stratosphere, hunched over, asphyxiating, with barely enough consciousness left to look around 360 degrees and see, here and there, scattered across the outer atmosphere, other humans in the process of asphyxiating and/or just motionless, hunched over, i.e., dead. jump cut to a catch of small fish wriggling on a dock next to a cooler. end scene. — Screenshot from Evernote notebook
