“ACU jikitotsu”

苦 What pain, Pandora,

集 of the world-

desired .

滅 All released, almost empty,

道 at the bottom of the box,

there was!

Sometimes Kinda Racist

Filling the Internet

Media: Web; Description: This is a piece about the space of the internet. Web 1.0, 2.0, and web 3.0 come together to increase John Baldessari’s digital footprint. Hopefully making conceptual art and artists more “accessible”.

tl;dr - I made 50-60 profiles and online personas for a stranger.

Friendship Erst

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 23:23:00 -0500

Silly Child, Merciless Thing
pinned to the wall like a poster
you had from age pink and purple
to age leather and denim.

Dressed like you were
(Richmond, VA) all over
and under.

Hot Tranny Mess
of sincerity have we made.
A chance to be friends, you grant
my wishes in a modern well.

Curly Haired Boy,
your sharp nose and little hands
made sandcastles of sound.
Like a good, soft friend.
Like an empty plastic bucket,
teasingly dripped into.

The memory even now is pleasure.

I’m all restless and faint
like a baby sister
when big brother is coming
off the yellow bus
into her embrace.
