How would you explain what we are trying to do here? |

PR:
These webpages take advantage of the facility to represent
intellectual work in a new domain. |
KM:
- Yes I agree Paul, it sounds very grand doesn't it? I agree
with you that intellectual work in the context of fine art
is verbal, visual and beyond...

PR:
It's 'the beyond' I'm particularly interested in: the use
of a variety of aesthetic means to convey an argument or lines
of thought. I know that in your work you are always fighting
to legitimise new ways of writing about art practice while
also retaining rigour - how do you feel about the internet
as an expressive medium?... |
KM:
The internet is new to me. I like the feel of paper and the
look of words on the page. I think of Mallarmé or e.e.cummings
and the look of their words in books I own, or, Duchamp's
Ephemerides or Delacroix's Journals and
then my mind goes a blank.... until I realise that there is
this amazing potential for creating an interactive space for
people to exchange ideas and to link up in ways that we cannot
predict. Then, I begin to find what you've set up extremely
exciting. I think it's already encouraged me to see some of
my powerpoint presentations as concrete poems; the words seem
to have a life of their own and team up in ways I could not
have envisaged.
