I’ve had a breakthough about my project. I guess it’s the proposal deadline. As my artist friend John Hammersley said “Deadlines are like lifelines, but no one throws you one when you need one”. All this discussion about the final show 2006 has got me thinking about possible performative elements to my work. I’ve been thinking about conducting an orchestra of visuals, people holding up cards that are sliced up bits of the frame in the style of a sports stadium or the recent extravaganza in North Korea.

I see that some LA newagers are selling colour therapy DVDs at http://www.colourcalm.com/. I was interested in the idea of questioning where is the threshold between meaning and meaninglessness (I suspect this is a reaction to my day job making information graphics for TV). But more in conjunction with sound, and minimal changes in frequencies. However, I was worried about the potential dangers of making the visual equivalent of MUZAK. This website puts me off.
