this week: WCIARTS - Macomb; a strip and a video short
the short:
“The Walk” installations are a McLuhanish update on Patrick Geddes’s "map and biopsy city protocol". They frame my praxis, and demonstrate two "recursive urbanism" protocols. The protocols are oppositional. One protocol uses the street as an evolving search engine, a tableau you drift through, synthesizing as you move. The other protocol uses the street as a beautiful girl or guy uses a conversation; they keep turning the conversation back on themselves.

"A Walk on the Digital 'Sublime" bores into a St. Louis Missouri urban design praxis. The praxis recursive urbanism uses the street as: 1) an evolving search engine, a tableau you drift through, synthesizing as you move, 2) a platform to assemble networks to critique the network, and 3) a probe into how digital kit edits-us. Videos and accompanying graphics frame a struggle of getting onto the street, and manning way-stations to navigate through a digital fog. This streetscape praxis is now snared in litigation in St. Louis. St. Louis is where Marshal McLuhan did foundational media work. McLuhan anguished that the "privileged diet for the elite" would thwart art as radar. "A Walk on the Digital Sublime"tracks how a bogus idea of community provoked a lawsuit, and why a St. Louis elite decided to forfeit and obliterate McLuhan's St. Louis legacy. And do it in time to celebrate his 2011 Centennial.
