revisiting the text

Looking at this months after creating it there are some things i will change. Firstly, the quotes are far too close together. I think if i were to project this i would make the composition a lot wider and have fewer quotes over a larger area. This would make them easier to read, and the viewer could concentrate on one at a time rather than being bombarded with words and messages.

I am going to remove some of the more confrontational statements so that the reading of it is more ambiguous in a sense. I don't want it too be too easily recognisable as the work of someone who doesn't eat meat :)

I could set up an online poll or something of that description, or upload a video to youtube and get resonses on that then use them. I don't think this would have any advantages though, much of the same comments that i have already sampled would be repeated and it would seem a little too calculated. I love these quotes because they are pulled from the internet. People act much differently on line compared to speaking with someone face to face. People seem to have more extreme views and speak more confidently, sayig a lot of un-PC things! The source of my text is endless, anyone has access to it and it can be altered or deleted at any time. Taking this text out of context and putting it in physical space rather than the hyper-real domain of the internet lets people examing this online behaviour. People reading it will not directly link it with coming from the intenet as it could have come from anywhere. They will contemplate the extreme views and behaviours demonstrated and hopefully this will provoke some sort of reaction or chain of thought.

One thing i really liked from the previous piece I submitted was the photographs i took for documentation. They became an entirely new work in themselves, cropping the text so that it wasn't read as a complete sentence but you still got the general idea and message.
