This is where I collect things. Maybe you'd also be interested in reading a few things that I've written, or viewing some of my photos, or even some of my videos. If you're feeling especially voyeuristic, you might even want to look through my links, listening habits, and social connections.

Do you live by any rules? →

That’s what Rafael Rozendaal asked the two members of AIDS-3D for their one question interview. Here’s their response:

AIDS-3D’s CURRENT GUIDELINES:

- We have a generalized distrust of institutions and their conventions.
- We believe in the sharpest possible distinguishment of ones self.
- We believe that the digital revolution is still transforming humanity and that we must always be the vanguard of this revolution.
- We believe in a fluid and undefined sexuality based on the ability to virtually sublimate any desire online.
- We believe that drugs are cool but not as cool as we all wished they are.
- We believe in wearing thick wool socks in the summer as well as the winter.
- We believe in trying to eat a different style of ethnic food every day of the week. (this is a balanced diet)
- We believe in maintaining a fashionable silhouette at all times.
- We believe in a completely free worldwide market.
- We believe that intellectual property is problematic, but we also respect that profit remains the biggest incentive for new developments.
- We always vote for Democrats, but only because we’re pragmatists.
- We believe that usually its best to only wear one pattern at a time.
- We are members of a dynamic international community.
- We are proud to be Americans because we invented black music, hollywood, public relations, and the internet!
- We believe there is no such thing as selling out as long you are still spreading your ideas.
- We believe that proactive ego-force can effect change on a global scale.
- We want to believe in Oprah’s Secret.
- We believe in dancing.
- We don’t share girls anymore.
Smoke weed every day

You may have already seen AIDS-3D’s flaming bluetooth symbol. They were also in that “Younger Than Jesus” group show at the New Museum last Spring/Summer.

Drop Everything and RunOne Year Anniversary – The End of Running
Well, it’s been one year to the day since I stopped running. While not really a benchmark in and of itself, I thought I’d take the opportunity to update you on the project. If you’ve been following along, you’ve no doubt noticed that I haven’t yet presented anything from the ‘running’ phase – the project site only includes material from the ‘pre’ and ‘post’. Suffice to say that the realities of ‘post-running’ life (money) have required quite a bit of my attention this past year, leaving less than desired for art-making. Instead of rushing things along, I’m taking time to ensure the year+ of material gets proper attention. Pardon our dust.
In the meantime, enjoy a taste of things to come. This photograph was taken one year ago today – a gorgeous morning at Roden Crater.

Bated breath. (And yes, it’s that Roden Crater)

Video

The film presumably shows a fast-paced tracking shot through the tunnel in which Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash. At first the viewer seems to remember seeing these images in the media. But in reality the set is a true to life, cardboard mock-up of architectural details. Under closer inspection, one also realizes that instead of reproducing reality Thomas Demand creates a perfectly-constructed model world.
