Chalk2

#60 Chalk2

This is the first of several that I am putting up of dozens of explorations – many deleted of the media. I am exploring what it means to be digital in the art world. Is everything a fake? I use fake pencil and fake chalk and fake paint.

Yet the whole point about language is that we use something to reperesent something.

This must be something well covered in the exploration of art? Where? By whom?

All that we write in cyberspace is there forever. This project in particular has a forever flavour – paradoxically – because it will end! And then sit there like a … er, monument to… who knows what.

The quest for permanence in the prints, I have sought out the best I can find and they should last 100 years. “Longer than they will last in digital form”, I was told by the salesperson at Photo & Video. “Not if it is in the cloud.” I replied.

And I can’t help hearing that word, forever, as spoken in the Miranda July movie “You and me and everyone we know”, where incidentally I think it also has a reference to that persistence quality in cyberspace.
