There is an assumption, based on the treadmill/hamster wheel of capitalist enterprise that things must be new, move quickly, and allow waste. This website and my work functions against such assumptions because, I think it’s worth considering that things are not ever quite new but rather recycle/repurposed (or upselling to use the latest word to itself redescribed renewal); that things in their situational timeframe (think 18 yr single malt whisky, for example), that there are a variety of speeds of which high turnover is only one of them; and that to utilize every aspect of the resource (think whole buffalo) just makes good sense, albeit not as common as one might hope for. So, it is with this particular grouping of thoughts—renewal, variable speeds, and efficiency—that I ask you to consider the works here and the blog as a whole, an archive that functions at the pace called for by the work and my time related to it. Hence, dayoutlast, while initially the three most used words on my Facebook feed in 2009, now stands for the idea that sometimes we are barely caching a glimpse of what just happened. Therefore, this is not necessarily promotion, but rather, hopefully, attraction.
A critical aspect of my art practice, the activity of looking, thinking, analyzing, and judging. Also what things look like from a image (photographic) and text point of view. Comparing my vision with a technological one. Presumably realistic and accurate. However, context displacement.
