My Interests

solar urticaria, chemical photosensitization, polymorphous light eruptions, engineered sensation, diamonds in the sidewalk, contemporary art, appropriation, the point where influence turns into derivativeness, phrenology, simulacra, stock ideas about mass culture, bicycles, photographs that look like paintings, the dirty fucking south, getting through the days reverses, accidental spaces, daily self-criticism and a demand for total attention, typewriters, multicolored biomorphic blobs, reverb chambers, interruption and rupture, elvis, special-needs dogs, landscapes yet to be invented, memory devices, graphic novels, the logic of image-control, doubleness, printed commodities, low brow culture, bodies-without-organs, anything that involves "formal concerns" and "painterly events" occurring in "graphic fields." Running amok in exploding star-filled universes and madly fighting to keep my head above water. Blindly wandering across cottonfields and floating in warm carolina waters...

I'd like to meet:

glassworkers, fur traders, renegade preachers, hilltop patriarchs, ghosts of fishermen, valley politicians. dapper dans. mercenary businessmen. snake-oil salesmen. roving caballeros. telekenetics, mad magicians, astral travelers, gatherers of light. depraved, desperate, voluptuous, and schizoid women. erick swenson. ernesto caivano. artur zmijewski.

Music:

botch, chameleons uk, battles, cocteau twins, killing joke, unwound, wire, coil, tones on tail, clan of xymox, dead can dance, blurbs & bleeps, pink noise vs white noise, the aura of synths, hyper-analogue noise makers, guitar feedback, spazz rock

Television:

tv scares me

Books:

too long to list...Danto, Pynchon, Oe, Ott, Bataille, Musil, Breton, Brecht,...
