- Making Money From Art & Literature - Online
Is it possible to make money from art & literature online? If you're an artist, do you know who's developing and presenting contemporary art & literature? By looking at Alexa, Best of the Web, and other sites – as well as from our own perspective – we've picked out five key sites bridging the gap between capitalism and contemporary art & design. - Severance
Set of six poems on the following theme: what meaning has any physical body when it is missing a seemingly vital element? A murdered body may be missing organs, an accident victim may lack a limb: on a daily basis, surgical procedures sever body parts that may be endangering the health of the whole, or repair the wounded. In most cases, identity is maintained - whether it be of a person or of some inanimate object. - Investigating The Creative Method In Work In Progress
What characteristics can we see in the works being developed in Improvised Maps edition? This short essay reviews the status of the projects and highlights some potential threads and ideas. - Improvised Maps - Dispatx Art Collective Spring 2007
Mapping can be considered as a translation procedure between these shared forms, connecting data elements and suggesting isomorphic and symbolic association. Such a procedure, much like the creative method, involves aspects of choice, compression, selection and abstraction. The notion of maps can be interpreted in other ways - from simple cartographic metaphors, such as the plotting of narrative, to more objective applications involving topological simplification, mathematical function and problem solving. - The Plague of Language - Dispatx Art Collective Summer 2006
In considering The Plague of Language it is fundamental to acknowledge the exploration and analysis of various language forms that have emerged in the last century, and to refer them where possible to the creative arts. The possibilities of exploration are enormous, whether in the realm of sound, music and the spoken word, within the visual arts and literature, or in relation to the body. - Abandonment - Dispatx Art Collective Spring 2006
The act of abandonment implies transfer - something orphaned is passed to another controlling agent, something is gained. This positive reading is atypical - yet if apathy and isolation are the more immediate connotations at a personal level, what happens if we translate this experience into space and time or into perception itself? - Scar as Sign - Dispatx Art Collective Winter 2005
Life marks us. Our bodies carry records of information - of trauma and impact: traces of experience. These inscriptions, written into the fabric of our skin, bones, language and minds, are incredibly rich in signification. Marks can be linked to forces, to memory, or to the body's own record of actions and their consequence. - Detail of Detail - Dispatx Art Collective Spring 2005
All we know of the world is an approximation. Modern science now supports what the philosophers have always believed - what we call perception is an amalgam, a composite picture of the world about us. What does the detail tell us of the grander scale, and what can we know of the detail by looking at larger systems or objects?
