Core Dump

An expansive collection of compact entitled imagery. 

Various small square images are identified by 5,457
11,897 17,739 titles, a short sample
is listed below. The imagery depicts embedded cultural (sexual-facial)
expressions and is printed using a fine uniform halftone beneath an
error-diffusion bitmap. 



  ...in a silent mania of search which led you helplessly to the face, 
and deserted you there, fixed by the mouth which stigmatized your hunger, 
fixed by the eyes which knew you, and did not move...

Each image and title is individually laser-printed on very light-weight,
letter-size, imported (Chinese straw and hemp) archival papers. These
elegant prints are very inexpensively available from the artist; please
specify which titles you'd prefer. 

The entire history of otherness is founded on facial or corporal
expressions, on the infinitesimal movements of the regard; and even if
seduction is a challenge, it still allows us to believe in the infinite
power of charms and spells. The illusion of otherness is never truly
recognized as such; the larger staging of emotions and perceptions avoids
it so well that it becomes the 'black hole' of all the idealism of
difference and communion. The Other remains at the heart of universal
principles of exchange, at the heart of the alter ego's reiterated
experience.

Eventually these images and captions will also be incorporated into a 
web-based multi-animated field of
pictorial-desire. I'm thinking now that these captions should each be
engraved on the interior surfaces of plain metal finger-rings. Several
sizes and random captions could be included in each 'lot' sold. A longer
list of titles can be obtained via email; I'm also looking to either buy
a jewelry engraver or to arrange to have the work done in exchange for a
portion of sales-profits.

The Library of Babel, imagined an infinite library of all possible
statements, those that have been, will be, and could be, from the most
nonsensical to the most sublime.

bbrace5.htmlabstraction-engine It is possible to strip a body or a face totally of its appearances and yield it up to the pure concupiscence of looking, to strip it of its aura and yield it to the pure concupiscenece of desire, to strip it of its secret and yield it to the pure operation of decipherment. The power of the obscene exterminates all ambiguity and all seduction and delivers us to the definitive fascination of bodies without faces, faces without eyes, and eyes that don't look. This is what attracts us in advance: a perfectly ecstatic and obscene universe of pure objects, transparent to each other, which would shatter against each other like pure kernels of truth.

... desiring machines, aggregates of subjective desire, an architecture of articulated longing... It was a slow smile, modular, as though there were stages to it, each one governed by a separate shyness or hesitation.
