blog

blog is Jamian Julliano-Villani’s collaboration with amalgama ind. first we discussed making a project from her recent work, all of which she is already blogging as it’s conceived, so it seemed interesting to make an actual material book from her blog. turning one kind of cataloging (digital) into material (a zine) and then  into digital again (the .pdf download)… post-modern mind-fuck was the other title I was considering. some pics from the launch night here.

Emotional Map Project

if your motions through your day created an emotion, what type of emotion would that be?

How does this emotion sit on top of a map and color it, texture it, give it shape? If your home were an eyeball and you were the retina, what information would it take in, your home being the nexus of your map? Job? School? Play?

Who do you want to fuck within a 10 mile radius? Do their physical appearances form a pattern? What would a google map of sex look like for you?
How does your map contain you? if you were to redraw your prison, what would it look like?

Help us draw a map of the places that move you, add interesting points of reference, images, stories, descriptions, music or whatever else these places inspire or mean to you.

A camera captures the movement of the audience and is analyzed by a laptop to form a ‘feedback loop’ of light, echoing and enhancing the energy of the room.
