Michael Mandiberg welcomes AfterMichaelMandiberg.com, but I am curious. The Walker Evans project is clear to me. He pointed a camera at people and places and the camera recorded what was in front of it. So, the Walker Evans photograph is an index of what Walker Evans selected to be in front of it. The Sherrie Levine project is also clear to me. She pointed a camera at an art market dominated by great (in the Modern sense) male artists and the camera recorded what was in front of it. So, the Sherrie Levine photograph is a symbol of the social conditions that confronted Sherrie Levine. The Michael Mandiberg project is also very clear, but I would not presume to describe it when Michael can do so much better. I find it interesting that the images on his site are icons of and resemble both Sherrie Levine images and Walker Evans images, but because of our knowledge and their condition have very different connotations and commercial value. What is the Kendall Bruns project? What is the Badur Ramji project? What is added to the series of appropriations and different statements? -- Paul St George Senior Lecturer in Multimedia London Guildhall University 100 Minories, London, EC3N 1JY Tel: +44 (0) 207 320 1709 http://www.paulstgeorge.com _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
