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.
