Hey Dom,
...
I'm still working on new windmills and devices, dealing with the same concepts as the old ATKN1 project: energy, art, communication, poetics, … Part of this development is happening now for OKNO and the TIK2 project. Together with others, I'm developing wind clocks, which are to be put anywhere around the world and get connected to generate a new standard of time, the TIK time, wind time. Anyways that's the concept. It's very much related to what I was doing with the ATKN project. That's probably also the reason why they asked me to participate.
One of the issues, that arose again during the TIK project, is how to present this research or development to the public. A lot of it is tinkering and playing around. Ideas get put down on wiki's, are explored in small models during workshops. There's lots of ideas formulated and concepts made. All very experimental. A lot of threads come out of this research, but not all, lead to something. But that doesn't make them less interesting, tough. They are part of the process. But how to make this process interesting for the public. The public being this collective of people who look at your work with different interests : people expecting to see a work of art, participants in a workshop, other artists looking for information, people interested in the technical aspects, …
On the other side there is the artist, me. I want to share my work with my public, and am concerned how to do this. My work being in progress, under development, in the state it currently is. Normally as an artists you don't show all the intermittent stages of the development of your artwork. You show the end result. But what if this processes is what you are really interested in?
At the same time I was thinking about my own position as an artist, what to do with my organization, my space and so on. As I'm no longer involved in a collective, being no longer part of OKNO, and not setting up code31 meetings, much resolves about my individual art practice. How to get people involved, to participate, to relate my work to, get the necessary feedback, for inspiration and energy, … I mean, I have always functioned within collectives, and collaboration is essential in my work. How to open it up again?
