Dear Cohort,

recently, I set out with my collaboratrix: Nguyn-9000\Synthetik - in what has become our method - to abstract some Occupy imagery.  About every 2 days we’d spider another 200 images to act as seeds for our work. When the boot came down on the occupiers in NYC, i judged that we should slack off monitoring and processing and put together a little online exhibition...  Which you can see HERE.

As a point of interest - i didn’t follow the media’s story of the Occupy saga at all  - indeed, i didn’t even glance at the seed pictures as they came in  - so my whole experience of the Occupy movement has been viewed through the distorted lens of the work. That leaves me a little naive and factually clueless, but that’s usually been the case anyway so... 

have been trying to teach Nguyn to scribble like a kid, a  talented, angry kid - or maybe an incredibly pissed-off chain-smoking alcoholic kid. It’s been fascinating to see our “angry sloppy scribbler” in action, although we still disagree about the purposes of abstraction.  N is very literal.

BTW, if you haven’t seen this little chart yet, take a look - it’ll make your brain sizzle like a toad.
