Video poam stanza of the longer video study "Heat Dozens with Lightning Wings," with sound by Strexx of http://www.strexx.com who wrangled the sound produced by an Empire toy stove and used it to form the basis of damage control audio for the soundtrack. This poam explores a system trying to organize itself, seeking a point of unification for its population, a theme that will have some joyousness tethered to it, too, for emerging, for existing, and for functioning as connective tissue so while there may be multiple forms of elements of damage, the system functions and as a (newly) functioning system perhaps is headed toward refined function, toward further blossoming of increasingly illuminating ways to map the possible configurations of the members tethered to this system on multiple scales to varying degrees. This is the situation in which the elements seek and locate connection points (that can also become, may have already been, may concurrently behave as bifurcation points --a network of activity that also establishes itself as a neural network and so is capable of acquiring forms of meanings. Multiple forms of damage on multiple scales; the connection points themselves may be damaged, supporting configurations of a community functioning within compromise, which can be a generous habitat. This video stanza is also a map. There are locations of beautiful elements and location of beautiful damage.

A video poam exploring the mapping of neural networks in the mind through the linking of memory, a toy stove, the body's physiological responses to neurological temporary neurological damage, and imagination. Ideas about heat from one hub of this network, a hub which allows this hub to connect with other idea hubs in the mind. Anyone watching "Heat Dozens" has an opportunity to form a memory of the video poam and to form a network of associations formed by elements in the video poam linking with experiences already mapped in the mind and with environmental experiences occurring while watching the poam. The non-human produced sounds in the music track were produced by manipulating the oven door and heating elements switches of the Empire toy stove; these sounds were recorded by Ansted Moss and are the only sounds used in the instrumental portion of the soundtrack. Made in conjunction with the November 2007 University of Michigan "Arts and Minds""learning studio" event in which leading international artists, scientists, scholars, activists, and students explored the interactions of art and mind. The actual Empire toy stove was part of the "Heat Dozens" presentation, the oven filled with a small format booklet (soon to be available in this podcast in psd format) featuring video poam stills pulled from moments of video frame interface. The keepsake memory booklet was available to any participant who opened the oven and removed a booklet from it.

Part of the project to distill the soundtrack of HEAT DOZENS (a video poam available in the Limited Fork podcast) into some of its composite sonic constituents. This unit of composite sonic constituency focuses on the "Elements of Damage" isolate. The designation of "damage" for this isolate may depend in part upon the cooperation of visual damage cues, and feedback loops between the sound and the visual to reinforce a "damage" contract (which may be broken or strengthened in a number of ways, by either partner or by other arriving parties). Even if this sonic isolate retains an association with damage based upon sonic elements only, the nature of the damage may be perceived differently without the corroboration of visual damage to help define intensity and duration of damage.

Sound poam treatment of "Maudell's Moon," a print poem by Thylias Moss, dedicated to Kevin Clark who provided the occasion for the recording of this version that differs from the print object necessarily for not occupying the same form of space, and for needing to adapt to the forms of occupancy possible in the different host landscapes (I'm thinking also of Zachary C. --thanks for being in this landscape, too).

Digital quilting of interior images (by Shaelyn Smith) and exterior still & moving footage (by Thylias Moss) of the demolition of an historic University of Michigan building in the further documentation of an exploration of the nature of what contains and the nature of what is container, a dual & simultaneous possibility, the status of container or contained determined by perception prevailing at the moment of perception (the eye of the beholder). The complex textures and structures revealed through the irregularity of details in the stages demolition as captured by Shaelyn become visual metaphors for intangible qualities of experience associated with interactions with the physical space. An understanding of internal and external systems of structural integrity associated with Frieze become more revealed (or exploited) as the building is demolished. The patterns of the demolition offer aesthetic qualities that should not surprise as the mapping of these patterns through Shaelyn's digital lens reveals repetition and similarity with patterns related to stabilizing systems as well as to other destabilizing systems. Without Shaelyn's work, an ability to study these patterns would not exist.

soundtrack of the LFMK video poam made for the SAPAC (Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center & SafeHouse Center) "rEVOLUTION" show in the Duderstadt Center Gallery to launch the LFMK brand. LFMK (Looking for My Killer) is a (type of) PSA that hopes to call attention to the vulnerability of humanity through an extreme selfless act, that of a woman using herself to attract the attention of an attacker in order to protect other women the attacker might pursue if she were not willingly available. Because she enters into her humanitarian mission joyfully, the music is spirited, the colors of the embedded ads (by Ansted Moss of abstract-projections.com) are vivid. Look for LFMK T-shirts, mouse pads, mugs, picture frames, tote bags. Read some of the LFMK print poams in The Canary, Callaloo, NOR, and the Oleander Review. The LFMK video poam is available in the Limited Fork podcast.

EGGS! VISUAL I SPY! Look closely at the eggs, in the eggs, in the eggs within eggs. A limited fork video poam that is a component of the Bubbling series that explores interior activities and the architecture of spaces which may be accessed when expansion occurs in or near centers. The series investigates what happens to notions of containment in such situations. This video poam is for Primus. Thank you for asking me for a video poam when I was in a location (the middle of an investigation) that lent itself to making one. Look for the "Bubbling to Memphis" soundtrack and the a cappella version of the soundtrack in the Limited Fork Music podcast.

EGGS! VISUAL I SPY! Look closely at the eggs, in the eggs, in the eggs within eggs in this low resolution version of the "Bubbling to Memphis" video poam for those with storage issues. The compression will be strained on those large LCD and plasma monitors, but on a portable device, it should look fine.

A video poam that explores what is just out of reach, at the 50x scale where there is enough resemblance to soothe and enough enhancement to unsettle. What is seen of the eye, by the way, at the 50x scale is the (magnified) iris and the (magnified) pupil. The white part of the eye is not visibile except for a fraction of it for a second. Made in attempts to distract myself from the recent loss of 600GB of data when a 1TB external hard drive failed at the moment that I was trying to move what I arrogantly deemed my "best video work ever" to another drive. Perhaps arrogance got what it deserved, perhaps not, but The "Monday Aardvark of Laundry" updated pieces are the poams that came out of my attitude adjustment.

Soundtrack poam of the "In Your Face" video poam available in the Limited Fork podcast. Contains sound effects from various sound banks.

Short form of the longer update, both of which feature more images by Ansted Moss. This video poam explores how war and other physically, emotionally, and psychologically turbulent situations affect attempts to do laundry in an otherwise comfortable urban location. The update became necessary when external hard drive failure caused the loss of some of the source files. This piece is the outcome of salvage, replacement, and reinvention. Thank you, Evie, for asking for a poam when I was doing laundry. Thank you, Ansted for all the dirty socks and for images of me draped with laundry. The print poam may be read at mipoesias.com.

A video poam that explores Limited Fork Poetics by a student practitioner in fulfillment of course requirements at the University of Michigan.

This updated version of the full-length video poam is about how war and other physically, emotionally, and psychologically turbulent situations affect attempts to do laundry in an otherwise comfortable urban location. Featuring more images by Ansted Moss, the update became necessary to make when an external hard drive failure destroyed some of the source files. The update is an outcome of salvage, replacement, and reinvention. The sound poam portion comes from a print piece prepared for MiPO (mipoesias.com), guest edited by Evie Shockley. Thanks, Evie, for the occasion that led to these makings and remakings.
