Over the past couple of decades we have the breaking down of René Descartes assumption "I think therefore I am" as we move into object orientated world, where no longer is the human at the center of the universe.
We no see our self as a some what dysfunctional part of the earths ecosystem, with the beginning of the Anthropocene around the 1980's there was a collective reassessment of our role in this ecosystem, now in 2019 the effects of climate change and unfettered capitalism as real impact on the way our culture in adapting, I think the grass root moments such as permaculture,environmentalism and social Justice orientated Anarchism are outcomes for this re-contextualization into a field of equal objects.
And so as an Artist how does this perspective change the way I bring Objects into the world, (if that is even what I am doing I'm really bring different raw materials into different contexts and states, nothing comes from no where) when I younger and I made art that wasn't purposeful I would tel those around me that my sub-conscious brain made it, its interesting contextualizing that against the assumption i have today that my work is phenomenological and my body is merely as reflective space from which raw materials can pass through and become identifiable to the viewer as a contextualized object in there living environment, and so the object then becomes a product of its environment rather then a product of my hands sprouting out of my singular vision.

Unpalpable
_______________________________________________________________________________
The scanning was apart of the cataloging, viewers where encouraged to scan in objects over different texts and the room sheets bringing a liveliness to the sometimes serine environment of the gallery, objects transform relationally from something untouchable because of social code, to that code being broken down somewhat, we where very conscious of having a spectrum of relations to objects in the space.
___________________________________________________________________________
This put simply is an attempt to play with the authority of viewership, the difference between the way a museum interprets and object compared to a human.
Objects integrated into computer shaped forms
what am i doing: what is this space i have created in this vast silicon universe, I think it is perhaps most simply practice or a space in which practice is possible in an open dedicated form. because you cannot build anything without space, and that is challenging when you are confronted with the commodification of space under capitalism however, i must bless my privilege here as this output has come a lot easier than it might for others I am grateful for this and hope to never take it for granted.
This web site will be and has been created on the many different lands of the first Australians of this land, i pay my respects to all elders past and present, sovereignty was never seeded.
My deepest apologies to all the people, animal, plants and microorganism that make up our great ecosystems that have been destroyed in the process of modern privilege, i do not deny my part in this destruction and aim in my self and vicariously through this website to create a future that this destruction is no more.
