overrun (withdrawn): a selection of images withdrawn from the 12hr-project/serieshttp://bradbrace.net/12hr.htmlhttp://bbrace.net/12hr.html"An impassive observer, { brad brace } forges a personal aesthetic in these12hr-images infused with blank-sadness and a sense of mystery. What makesthem both new and significant is the fact that he organizes its contents insequences, applying the principles of cinematographic montage to fixedimages." You begin to sense the byshadows that stretch from the awe of global dominance. How the intersecting systems help pull us apart, leaving us vague, drained, docile, soft in our inner discourse, willing to be shaped, to be overwhelmed -- easy retreats, half beliefs. Works of art are complex formal interventions within discursive traditions and their myriad filiations. These interventions are defined precisely by their incomparable capacity to trace the dynamics of historical process in paradoxical gestures of simultaneously prognostic and mnemonic temporalities. | __| | | | (_) | | __/ (__| |_ _ | | | '_ \ / _ \ | | / /| '_ \| '__| _| |__) | __ ___ _ ___ ___| |_ |_ ___/ '__/ _ \| |/ _ \/ __| __| |_| _ |_| \___/| |\___|\___|\__| _ _/ | _ |__/>>>> Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A`round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery from { bradbrace }. The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, therecognizable; it suspends identity, relations and history. Thisdiscourse, far from determining the locus in which it speaks, is avoiding the ground on which it could find support. It is trying to operate a decentering that leaves no privilege to any center. The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project ----------------------------- began December 30, 1994 Pointless Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed every 12 hours... aspectral, trajective alignment for the 00`s! A continuum of minimalistmasks in the face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphorsfor the everyday... A poetic reversibility of exclusive events... A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random sequence ofimagery... genuine gritty, greyscale... corruptable, compact,collectable and compelling convergence. The voluptuousness of the greyimminence: the art of making the other disappear. Continual visualimpact; an optical drumming, sculpted in duration, on the endless present of the Net. An extension of the printed ISBN-Book (0-9690745) series... criticallyunassimilable... imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequencedover time... ineluctable, vertiginous connections.
