“The Sentence has no end. Sometimes I think it had no beginning. Now I salute its authors, which means all of us. You have made a wild, precious, awful, delicious, lovable, tragic, vulgar, fearsome, divine thing.” —Douglas Davis, 2000

I really enjoy Douglas Davis’ The World’s Largest Collaborative Sentence. It really exemplifies what we can do on the Internet, as part Read more →

I really love the 'immortality' of this work. I agree, it feels like we can sort of read about the past, the kind of stuff people used to be interested in or how they used to use the internet. I find that the work actually feels very personal because people are able to write anything they want - their thoughts, emotions, etc. - without fear of anyone ever knowing who said it.

I filmed my hand, but you don’t see my hand, just pixels on a screen forming an image of my hand.

How might the open source system of sharing and collective narrative be a creative inspiration and approach for artists? 

The open source system is a

quasi-utopian form of peer production that inspires transparency, collaboration, collective processes, non-proprietary methods of production and distribution, and a commitment to the creative process as a social exchange”.- Randall Packer

It challenges the current dominant capitalist society Read more →

My video double is a work in progress of an alter ago. This lady is pretty much my ideal self, I think, as an artist, as a personality. She’s got some fun tattoos and beautiful hair. The illustration style is largely inspired by the aesthetics of Palace Doll avatars (from Palace Chat, briefly discussed in Media & performance class last Read more →

Fascinating watching the process of you creating your double, perhaps there is an ongoing life for her: what is her story, ambition, plans, escapades? I could see this an idea to further develop in your next micro-project - blog narrative.

@ Esmond Heng

For artists, the open source system is one which allows a better mode of communication, a freely available and vast source of inspiration, as well as a platform upon which they may easily share their own works. The scale in which artists are enabled to reach people and fellow artists have already resulted in numerous new creative works, for example, Kit Galloway Read more →
