12hr-ISBN-JPEG
> > > > Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994.
A `round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery from Brad
Brace. The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable;
it suspends identity, relations and history. This discourse, far from
determining the locus in which it speaks, is avoiding the ground on
which it could find support. It is trying to operate a decentering
that leaves no privilege to any center. The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project
-------------------
began December 30, 1994 Pointless Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed
every 12 hours... a spectral, trajective alignment for the 00`s! A
continuum of minimalist masks in the face of catastrophe; conjuring
up transformative metaphors for the everyday... A poetic reversibility
of exclusive events... A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random
sequence of imagery... genuine gritty, greyscale...corruptable, compact,
collectable and compelling convergence. The voluptuousness of the
grey imminence: the art of making the other disappear. Continual visual
impact; an optical drumming, sculpted in duration, on the endless
present of the Net. An extension of the printed ISBN-Book (0-9690745)
series... critically unassimilable... imagery is gradually acquired,
selected and re-sequenced over time... ineluctable, vertiginous connections.

always be named, 12hr.jpeg Average size of images is only 45K. * Perl
program to mirror ftp-sites/sub-directories: src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/mirror
* ~ Postings to usenet newsgroups: alt.12hr alt.binaries.pictures.12hr
alt.binaries.pictures.misc alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.misc * *
Ask your system's news-administrator to carry these groups! (There
are also usenet image browsers: TIFNY, PluckIt, Picture Agent, PictureView,
Extractor97, NewsRover, Binary News Assistant, EasyNews) ~ This interminable,
relentless sequence of imagery began in earnest on December 30, 1994.
The basic structure of the project has been over twenty-four years
in the making. While the specific sequence of photographs has been
presently orchestrated for more than 12 years` worth of 12-hour postings,
I will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the ongoing publication with
additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour posting is like the
turning of a page; providing ample time for reflection, interruption,
and assimilation. ~ The sites listed above also contain information
on other cultural projects and sources. ~ A very low-volume, moderated
mailing list for announcements and occasional commentary related to
this project has been established at topica.com /subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg
-- This project has not received government art-subsidies. Some opportunities
still exist for financially assisting the publication of editions
of large (33x46") prints; perhaps (Iris giclees) inkjet duotones or
extended-black quadtones. Other supporters receive rare copies of
the first three web-offset printed ISBN-Books. Contributions and requests
for 12hr-email-subscriptions, can also be made at http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/buy-into.html,
or by mailed cheque/check: $50/mo $500/yr. -- ISBN is International
Standard Book Number. JPEG and GIF are types of image files. Get the
text-file, 'pictures-faq' to learn how to view or translate these
images. [ftp ftp.idiom.com/users/bbrace/netcom/]
