March 5, 2004: Ways time is shown to advance

• Clock Spinning

  • small intervals

  • minutes and hours

• Calendar

  • large intervals

  • days, months

• Letter sheets

  • subtraction from a list

  • addition of more letter sheets

  • in a stack or,

  • all over the damn place

• Personal apperance

  • hair length,

  • different clothes/different days (usually)

• Movements of myself

• Movements of others

• Changes in location

  • old school on Evans/Oneida

  • new school on Colfax/Pierce

• The Canvas itself

  • Less white shown == more letters painted

  • The beginning of words being printed,

  • instead of a loose collage of letters

• Different hardware being used:

  • Computer -

    • Powerbook G3

    • G4 Tower

    • Powerbook G4,

  • Webcam

    • Unibrain Firewire Camera

    • iSight

  • Other objects in the frame

    • Bottles and cans

      • The emptying of their contents

      • moving around

      • moving toward a destination (perhaps)

    • Writing/erasing of messages on the walls

      • usually done in paint or oil pastel.

    • Movie played

      • "The Agony and the Ecstacy"

      • ~ 2.5 hour movie

      • shown in ~ 30 seconds

      • less than the shoot for that day

    • Process Movie played

      • loop of time lapse film played while time lapse film filmed.

      • Two different time frames shown at the same time, one fast, one amazingly stupendously fast.

Conclusion: Time is a large part of this piece. Showing the final product ONLY (ie: the painting) would be missing a big point of it.
