Entered the studio after spending a day at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Decided I would like to spend more of my days in museums, libraries and parks.

Started writing a monologue for a new video work. Stopped writing a monologue for a video work. Returned to writing my paper. Losing sight of I and the other and you. Lay on my floor.

Arrive at 3pm and on the way to the studio I see a very weary witch walking home with a broomstick. On the lawns outside Sydney College of the Arts a wedding party is having photos taken. Bright white lace up against old sandstone. Purity of white, the stability of stone and the reality of a mental asylum. Listening to Chad VanGaalens’ ‘Flower Gardens’ on repeat. I like the staccato of the stutter.

Had a meeting with my supervisor Ryszard Dabek. Only one week until I submit my Masters paper ‘Love as the Mediation of Intimacy’ in for examination. Ryszard shared some links to net art projects that he thought might interest me. The Sheep Market was a particularly interesting work that used Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to commission 10 000 illustrations of sheep facing the left. Each illustrator was paid 0.02 ($US). Also Monument (If it bleeds, it leads) and News Knitter were some other interesting net/works that combined news feeders with unique methods of data visualisation. It was hot today so I didn’t wear any shoes.

Listened to BBC Arts and Ideas podcast while walking through Jubilee park in Glebe. Philip Dodd spoke with Tudo Historian David Starkey who made an interesting observation about how identity will be invented for you unless you take up the reins yourself. Also listened to ceramic artist Grayson Perry discuss how contemporary artists will step over craftmanship and beauty in a rush to produce something new. I felt a little ashamed about my own art practice and its lack of craft, but then I realised that my practice of producing nothing is quite an acquired and perfected craft that I have been practising for decades.

Spent the evening editing words written and pictures taken. Considered Jean-Paul Sartre and the twenty published pages he wrote each day of his working life. Also considered James Joyce who would consider two well crafted sentences a successful day of writing. Considered how much writing I would get done if I continued to read trivia about the two of them. Wrote a brief post on The Jackette about geotagging your self at locations

Arrived at Sydney College of the Arts at dusk. Spent most of the day sitting in the park attempting to put words to paper. On the way here I passed an old man on the footpath. He was sternly shaking his fist at the other side of the road. There was nobody there. Maybe he tripped on that side of the road once.

Due to server side problems I have been unable to post my comings and goings for a while. They are still being recorded and will be updated very soon when the problem is solved. Apologies.

I have solved the problem but will not upload the missing posts until I have some more spare time. In the meanwhile I shall start uploading the recordings from October 30.

Purchased an Imagewall by Compuvision at Mitchell Road Aucitons with Kenzie Larsen and James Brown. The Imagewall consists of nine televisions that stack together to form a wall and an old school computer that converts one image to display across the nine televisions. Couldn’t get it to work.

Analysed a graph depicting the death of Marxism, postmodernism, and ‘other stupid academic fads’. Collected my own data and created a graph that depicts articles that mention postmodernism in academic journals versus the Sydney Morning Herald. It shows that while the Herald publishes more articles that mention postmodernism, the academic journals begin to publish less. Did the overexposure of postmodernism in the mainstream media cause it to lose its cool?
