I must try to explain the New Aesthetic to a wondering mankind. Everybody who attempts this seems to hope and feel that the New Aesthetic must be a private solution to their own personal creative problems.

As the artist states over and over again, his work is for ‘energy’ and against ‘quality’. Energy is what we invest in things and people, such as radio shows, newspaper columns, classroom lessons and conversations over coffee while perched on rudimentary bar stools. It’s present in decisions that take us out of our way and out of our depths. It’s present in a work of art – and this is a paraphrase of Hirschhorn’s lesson from the Monument’s Friday art class – when that work of art offers evidence of the energy, decision and consequent thought that went into making it.

What does is mean to the digital generation if I destroy my paper past? Are they jealous?

Backlog of backup. Things got a little confused. Liam is distracting me.

#i saw a beautiful man on the train back from london and i really wish i had given him my number. he is now all i can hope for in the future #sinkorsing #the past

There is nothing that will keep me from you. Scotland, London, Glastonbury, all change, all chance, all happening.

Enough of this artless forgetting.

We are signs.

What sort of divination tool is Soundcloud? Can you hear the past, and future?

Matisse says, "The essential thing is to spring forth, to express the bolt of lightning one senses upon contact with a thing. The function of the artist is not to translate an observation but to express the shock of the object on his nature; the shock, with the original reaction."

Why, you who hate me, do you love me, and hate those who love me? You who deny me, confess me, and you who confess me, deny me. You who tell the truth about me, lie about me, and you who have lied about me, tell the truth about me. You who know me, be ignorant of me, and those who have not known me, let them know me.
