Personal Interests_E-Publication_Hanes

My contribution to - and interest in - the publication, in which Arielle, mike and I are collaborating on, is to explore idea's of the personal and public strata and their relationships to creative processes where technology cultures are either literally referenced and/or used. Like my counterparts, exploring themes of sentimentalism, revealing, sincerity and Romantic Conceptualism are embedded in my interests but along with these I would like to bulk up on concerns with: collecting/hoarding, branding, objectification and re-contextualization. Currently, my goals are to complete a semi-fictional, diaristic comparison between Stick n'Pokes and video dating, an image essay on Vastness, and an ellaboration on a collaborative project between myself and artist: Bunny Rogers.


A big part of this, I think, is to help myself and reveal to others my interests in art and how the work of my friends and myself influence and inform one another. As well, my primary focus is on artists with performative practices.


Artists I would like to include are:
