Wanted to let you know of a new Piece:
It is currently presented as the gate-page at the Whitney's Artport:
http://artport.whitney.org
"Allegorical Impulse Part I":
This net installation re-evaluates
the essay "The Allegorical Impulse:
Toward a Theory of
Postmodernism" by Craig Owens.
Inside the website you will find
quotations taken directly from
Owens' text. Artworks by artists
used as examples in the essay
have been scanned and optimized
as sliced images for the web; a
Javascript calls these slices at
random to create a grid
composition.
The Allegorical Impulse part I is the
first project in a two part series. This
first part considers how what
Owens wrote in the eighties is
understood after eighteen years.
The second part will consider
current writers following Owens' line
of thinking.
