Back Again

Well, the summer is over and it is time to get back to work on the ArtLog Project. Currently, I have a number of artists who have agreed to trial the system. I cannot say how grateful I am to these people. I know the pressures artists are under and greatly appreciate the generosity of spirit that has led them to become testers. It will be interesting to see how they get on. In a world where everyone is connected to the internet, blogging or sending emails, watching films on laptops and having virtual relationships with people you will never meet, artists seem to be apart from this. Not all of them obviously but I am curious to discover what is behind the reluctance to share their stories in particular the making of their art. Indeed, it may be that it is not possible for them to do this...that the process is too intuitive or tacit to be articulated. This should be an exciting experiment!
