> > > > Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A
`round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery from Brad Brace.
The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable; it
suspends identity, relations and history. This discourse, far from
determining the locus in which it speaks, is avoiding the ground on which
it could find support. It is trying to operate a decentering that leaves
no privilege to any center.


The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project
—————————–
began December 30, 1994


Pointless Hypermodern Imagery… posted/mailed every 12 hours… a
spectral, trajective alignment for the 00`s! A continuum of minimalist
masks in the face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphors
for the everyday… A poetic reversibility of exclusive events…

A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random sequence of
imagery… genuine gritty, greyscale… corruptable, compact,
collectable and compelling convergence. The voluptuousness of the grey
imminence: the art of making the other disappear. Continual visual impact;
an optical drumming, sculpted in duration, on the endless present of the
Net.

An extension of the printed ISBN-Book (0-9690745) series… critically
unassimilable… imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced
over time… ineluctable, vertiginous connections. The 12hr dialtone…

[ see ftp.idiom.com/users/bbrace/netcom/books.txt ]

KEYWORDS: >> Disconnected, disjunctive, distended, de-centered,
de-composed, ambiguous, augmented, ambilavent, homogeneous, reckless…
>> Multi-faceted, oblique, obsessive, obscure, obdurate…
>> Promulgated, personal, permeable, prolonged, polymorphous, provocative,
poetic, plural, perverse, potent, prophetic, pathological, pointless…
>> Emergent, evolving, eccentric, eclectic, egregious, exciting,
entertaining, evasive, entropic, erotic, entrancing, enduring,
expansive…

Every 12 hours, another!… view them, re-post `em, save `em,
trade `em, print `em, even publish them…

~ Set www-links to -> http://www.eskimo.com/~bbrace/12hr.html
-> http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/12hr.html
-> http://bbrace.net/12hr.html

Look for the 12-hr-icon. Heavy traffic may require you to specify files
more than once! Anarchie, Fetch, CuteFTP, TurboGopher…

~ This interminable, relentless sequence of imagery began in earnest on
December 30, 1994. The basic structure of the project has been over
twenty-four years in the making. While the specific sequence of
photographs has been presently orchestrated for more than 12 years` worth
of 12-hour postings, I will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the ongoing
publication with additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour posting
is like the turning of a page; providing ample time for reflection,
interruption, and assimilation.

occasional commentary related to this project has been established at

This project has not received government art-subsidies. Some opportunities
still exist for financially assisting the publication of editions of large

web-offset printed ISBN-Books. Contributions and requests for

You begin to sense the byshadows that stretch from the awe of global
dominance. How the intersecting systems help pull us apart, leaving
us vague, drained, docile, soft in our inner discourse, willing to be
shaped, to be overwhelmed – easy retreats, half beliefs.

Every 12 hours, another!… view them, re-post `em, save `em, trade
`em, print `em, even publish them…

Here`s how:

~ Set www-links to -> http://www.eskimo.com/~bbrace/12hr.html ->
http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/12hr.html ->

Look for the 12-hr-icon. Heavy traffic may require you to specify
files more than once! Anarchie, Fetch, CuteFTP, TurboGopher…

~ This interminable, relentless sequence of imagery began in earnest
on December 30, 1994. The basic structure of the project has been
over twenty-four years in the making. While the specific sequence of
photographs has been presently orchestrated for more than 12 years'
worth of 12-hour postings, I will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the
ongoing publication with additional new interjected imagery. Each
12-hour posting is like the turning of a page; providing ample time
for reflection, interruption, and assimilation.

~ The sites listed above also contain information on other cultural
projects and sources.

~ A very low-volume, moderated mailing list for announcements and
occasional commentary related to this project has been established at
topica.com /subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg

This project has not received government art-subsidies. Some
opportunities still exist for financially assisting the publication
of editions of large (33x46") prints; perhaps (Iris giclees) inkjet
duotones or extended-black quadtones. Other supporters receive rare
copies of the first three web-offset printed ISBN-Books.
Contributions and requests for 12hr-email-subscriptions, can also be
made at http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/buy-into.html, or by mailed
cheque/check: $5/mo $50/yr. Institutions must pay for any images
retained longer than 12 hours.

ISBN is International Standard Book Number. JPEG and GIF are types of
image files. Get the text-file, 'pictures-faq' to learn how to view
or translate these images.
