World of distraction
Met some of those high end gallerists today. I felt that old eagerness that helps noone. Glad I didn’t act on it. But what is that? I feel eagerness and disdain. Disdain is something I should watch out for. You cannot know nothing about a person and feel disdain.
I like the word though. As a title for a work. Disdain for the man in a suit, the man who feels disdain. Or I think he does. What is the color of disdain? What shape? Maybe it is orange, because orange.
Can we talk about musical ambitions? What is that? Does it satisy some kind of mathematic desire to understand and play with time?
Place things in time, a linear composition.
Atmosphere is what I can create with music. It doesn’t have to be beats. Or danceable.

DELIBERATE
late Middle English (as an adjective): from Latin deliberatus, ‘considered carefully’, past participle of deliberare, from de- ‘down’ + librare ‘weigh’ (from libra ‘scales’).
DELIBERATE ABOUT LIBERATION
APRIL
The New Line
Signature style
Against all odds
A newly devized signature style combined from my past wanderings.
A politically infused painterly style combining the swift brad touch with graphic elements, grids information etc.
The style can reflect in or originate from video and the LED screens.
Design a process, a practice
A daily Routine.
A place to dump images. Ordered by composition or dimensions. Create slideshow. Subject myself to the random selection. Take it from the computer. Standalone. Present on PVM screens.
Make slideshow file where prescaled images are dumped. Play and record on vhs or dv. 720x576. Use videomixer to overlay slideshows.
(Moving back to old technology because the new shit makes me vibrate uncomfortably and I feel like I’m working for the machines and not the other way around. The changes are in my hands, turning knowbs and pressing buttons, not transferred from my mind directly into a computer. Like I am doing now. It is also a tactile way to stay connected to the past, my youth, containing a bright future which now seems lost. Is it a way to take back moves on the chess board and start over at an earlier point when the outlook was hopeful?)
Jump to painting and sketching
I need guidelines, the windows and grids could be a start. Charcoal or ink on paper. Large format. Layers for silkscreen or other forms of printing. Riso. This can be combined with the photo archive.
-Buy large format paper a
and materials after checking what I have. The first series on large paper could be accompanied by a smaller sketch format.
Inspiration won’t come from weed alone, I need to surround myself with images. A slideprojector could be a way to keep it analog but slides are expensive. I could use this for best selections for each period.
One beamer for sildeshow and monitors.
Slideshow can be brightsign dump or pendrive somehow.
Landscapes like Valloton
Spaces like Bacon
Gestures like Soulages
People like Gaugin?
Maybe be obvious about this as a form of memory. Sample through remaking.
How can I use this all over the placeness to my advantage? This constant distraction, I welcome it but don’t give in to it. Or actually I do but I am not satisfied. I need a job description, an assignment, an agenda. This process will create the story I want to tell. The assignment could be sellable work because it is in series.
The assignment could be per series.
Make large grid stamps with wood and fabric.
Format for digital with music:
Instagram video. PVM on its side
Youtube PVM
Combine music with live mixed video.
Content creation.
Setup studio.
Place for large drawing - wall
Place for video edit

2024 marked a change. No more merely remarking that things are wrong and twisted, but actively engaging with the idea of changing, choosing other options. Rooting for other systems. Things are not inevitable. Things are not normal. It is orchestrated.
