At the beginning of my 1st semester of grad school... I was asked to keep a visual diary for my Contemporary Art History class of things that inspire my practice as an artist. I decided to use tumblr to create my visual diary since much of my work involves the internet or other computer based activities.
thevisualdiaryofarg.tumblr.com has become a place where the immediacy & urgency to peruse, collect, & analyze the eye candy that gives me such great pleasure can be satiated.

Not only did I collect, I was then directed to categorize the content of my visual diary. How to do this? I proposed to create a poster(my GD tendencies rise again)...as I have always wanted to make one but never have... also an exciting challenge of observing & scrutinizing the contents more closely & creatively.
and the results are...

a closer look at the 10 categories....

words identity  obsession  authorship  science aside from directing various in progress projects... this particular exercise has highlighted my need to collect and analyze data much like a scientist... i now even realize that intuitively my putting all of this in poster format is what they do with their research for science conferences. These are new discoveries for me... and I haven't quite figured out what it all means or how every thing applies just yet... so this lovely poster hangs on the wall of my studio for me to contemplate how I'm gonna work it! |
