A Day in the Life of an Artist in 288 five minute videos
What is this all about?
I started as a video/conceptual artist back in the early 90s [Planet 3.9] , but since ’97 I haven’t done much video art at all. For the past few years I have wanted to get back in the video art game, especially with the advent of the internet and youtube and digital cameras. After a year or two of thinking about what to do, this idea popped into my head after a dream:
I am making five minute videos (each one-take) of various parts of my day. Eventually I will have made 288 videos that will comprise 24 hours – a 1-day ‘William Burroughs/Brion Gysin-like cut-up‘–albeit with video not words–of my life. It might take me two or three years to do this.
When completed, I’d like to screen them all in a 24+ hour showing.
I will make a lot of videos of people I meet on the street and at shows and openings and on-line, so that it will be a documentation of the Northampton scene.
So far the most interesting thing about this project is how hyper-aware I’ve become of how long five minutes is, and how much wasted time there is in our lives spent sleeping. It makes learning to lucid dream seem like a worthy vocation.
