Why?

What does this have to do with anything?

The project was created to house a public space for a monologued train of consciousness. The process itself, intended to result in a series of short video works, evolved into a single performance piece with the script itself the seven days of blogged entries. Each speaker represented a signifier of the author and a dichotomy of the self as well. The public space gives reference to voyeurism and comments on the deterioration of personal, physical interaction; as apposed to the Cyber identity, intended as a venue for personal expression and thought.

There is a level of control in stating this through the safety of the screen. There is nothing that ties myself or anyone to ideas or statements. Personalities are contrived, altered and edited with a chance of deletion. It is impersonal yet personal, fictional and factual. The real and the unreal are dissolved by the confines of the formlessness of the space. For this reason the text is slanted and chaotic, words are written by association with an attempt at truthfulness and complete absurdity.
