THE 12hr ISBN JPEG PROJEKT

> > > > Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery. The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable; it suspends identity, relations and history.

Classic Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed every 12 hours... perfect trans-avant-garde memes for the 90`s! A continuum of minimalist masks in the face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphors for the everyday...

A poetic reversibility of events.

A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random sequence of imagery... genuine gritty, greyscale... corruptable, compact, collectable and compelling convergence. The voluptuousness of the grey imminence: the art of making the other disappear. Continual visual impact; an optical drumming, sculpted in duration, on the endless present of the Net.

An extension of the printed ISBN-Book series... critically acclaimed... imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced over time... ineluctable, vertiginous connections.

The 12hr dialtone.
