In the pandemic lockdown of 2020/21 many thoughts pass through my mind in a day. They range from hope to isolation to despair to new possibilities and concern for all of us on this little blue planet. Take good care.

New date to see lots of great art on the WEST spring tour is June 5 and 6th. It will be fun.

A lot of looking. My world has increasingly become one of looking at screens. I see a lot of others looking back. I try not to judge groups of people I don’t know. To make them abstract. If they become abstract to me, then I am more vulnerable to messaging that has an agenda. All while looking at screens and listening to the news.

Bathing at the Beach with your Submarine. This work is based on my uncle Jim Harrison’s 1954 slide of a US submarine at a bathing beach near Chicago. The original slide and the component pieces are also shown. The people bathing at the beach seem to be completely at ease with a submarine just sitting there. This is the time of the Korean War. The graphic elements, the texts and the emojis, are visualizations from various texts that were analyzed, viewed as a connected word map network, and rendered as texts and emojis. They add a discourse to the tolerant silence in the original slide between the bathers and the submarine.

That’s what I am interested in. How can we visually look at crazy stuff in time that happened in reality and fantasy.

Where I am at 9.08. These are 45’s tweets from the last seven days, visualized from the relevant text connections in all the tweets. The peaks are words most connected to other words. And then they are visualized in various ways. So what 45 tweeted visualized.

Got a light? I need to light my smoke. In a certain time, yes I can remember, there was a whole ritual around lighting a smoke.
