Some people who follow along with my stuff on the web will have a pretty bad picture of who I am: One of those people met me this weekend at a meetup. They found out that I’m not as calm as I am on youtube
Those people who know me in real life know i get very EXCITED very fast and I’m quite loud and manic
But still, if you only know me through events like meetups and gigs and CONFERENCES where I do talks and demos and PERFORMANCES you still don’t know me at all.
And I don’t know you, reader, I don’t know you at all!
My FAVOURITE kind of art is the kind of art where I really get to know someone better: Where they manage to imbue their thing or process with so much PERSONALITY that it can’t help but be theirs: It can’t POSSIBLY be someone else’s.
But it goes further than that too
It’s about getting inside your head/heart. To get to know you, I need to see and feel what it’s like to live inside your head. Let me UNDERSTAND the world / the you from inside you / the world
There is no need to convince me of ANYTHING. I want to know what it’s like to be you
There is no need to be good: In fact, you must not be good: You must not be good, because then you’ll have smoothed off the rough edges of you and your FINGERPRINT. I want to read words written in your shitty HANDWRITING: In your font, even if it’s hard to read / ESPECIALLY if it’s hard to read. I want to see your SILHOUETTE, not your cardboard cutout’s.
I don’t want pseudo INTELLECTUAL bullshit. I don’t want GRANDIOSE claims. I don’t want DISATTACHED ACADEMIC papers. I don’t want OBJECTIVE / TECHNICALLY correct statements,
i want you: i want the SUBJECTIVE INCORRECT messy you, dear reader, i want you!
