Don’t be a slave to the process, make the process work for you.

There was a bit more jovial ribbing on labels in the brief interview (a little cleaned up from the emails):

WIA: Fair enough, Jonathan. I’m glad you do what you do, in any case.

Jonathan Harris: By the way, you can use that as my quote, if you like.
I like your site’s concept.

WIA: I very well may. I forgot to ask. If I put your quote up, is there a word you would like after your name, before the date?

Jonathan Harris: You could say, “Computer scientist”

Or, to be coy, you could say, “Artist”

WIA: Maybe I’ll throw a slash in there. Thanks.

A. Sell all of one’s possessions purchase one way ticket on British Airways and move to Europe.

B. If option A is not possible and living in America is one’s fate, then cover television with a refridgerator box, read john berger & neil postman daily, and start weekly art conversations at your local coffee houses. (refridgerator box may be taken off on thursdays at nine to watch ‘lost’)

c. Sell all of one’s possessions purchase one way ticket on British airways and move to Europe (option a and c are very similar but quite different - i used a lowercase a in airways)

Conceptual art feels the pain of dealing with this most directly, probably, since the actual moment of enjoyment of the art comes from appreciating the thought behind it, usually the aesthetic is either happenstance or intentionally as neutral as possible.

I’m not really sure what to do about that problem. I hope that this project is a step in the right direction.
