moving right along

These are the ideas and elements I have decided to keep from my last project.

!-text most likely text taken from a blog or forum, some informal rhetoric, nothing profound because that ends up sounding naff. I just want a spontaneous, uncalculated remark from a person that was passing through, I want it to be taken from the internet because it has a sense of impermanence there, it can be deleted and will be forgotten.

www. I like the internet as a medium because it is used for documentation, we document our lives on facebook, updating photos, relationships; even moods, news is on the internet, bank accounts, emails etc. Most of the art works I have seen from my favourite artists are only accessible to me via the internet, I get the second hand accounts from all over the world so do I really know anything at all about their work, I haven't even experienced it.
Internet conversations are not like personal like handwriting or the spoken word. On the internet you can assume different identities and a lot of people say things they would not say in person, eg;

"u stupid fuck we r animals to u dumb shit god put us here and so he put animals to so go fuck off or ill put u in the slaughter house and ill slit ur neck!!!!!!!!!!! go fuck ur mom u asshole u should eat veggies and if u dont i dont care but im just sayin when u eat animals u will die faster get sick and might get a deaise bcuz they say that if they r ill and stuff they still put them in the slaughter house and u eat that meat and soo yea i rest my case u dumb fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! - girroxx112233

reveal/CONCEAL- this is where the interaction comes in. The idea that the viewer in some way reveals the text is important. It is important that they are conscious of what they are revealing so that they have a choice, even if it takes them a while to realise that is the point...They should wake up to the fact that they can make a choice and SEE what is there, or they can ignore it.

idea~MEAT CONSUMPTION I know a lot about meat in New Zealand and how we get our meat. Having come from farming background with family that love hunting I have strong opinions on what I consider to be ethical. I will write that rant in another post as it will take up a LOT of space...
My work isn't targeting meat eaters as such, just ignorance. I want people to see the consumption of meat in a different light, to laugh at these ridiculous internet conversations but at the same time identify with them.

realtional---> relational aethetics, by the looks of it I wrote NOTHING about this is my blog, nor did i identify any of the artists (what wasn't i thinking) so expect many posts on this. Inter human relations and social context, people coming together, intersubjective encounters rather than subject/object, observing other viewers actions and reactions. I like it that the success of the work relys on interaction and is in a way a collaboration. Questioning the role of the author-internet based collaborations

I hope you can see what I am trying to pull together :)
