i'm currently running on 9%.. not good... opps there goes another bead. sooo lets see what this card has in store for us. now.
there are ants all over my legs and it's giveing me the absolute shits, there are crawling and there isn't anything htat i can do cause i'm wearing this wearable desk and i can't really manouver with it on... oor bend or do anyting but walk i a very cautious and steady straight line. i keep forgetting how tall i am cause of my parasol, damn tose low laying braches. hmph.
how dee do dat?
my forehead feels sweaty. poop.
i guess i feel that i should write something here.... but i don't know what to write. i guess i could start by describingmy surroundings.
i'm sitting although at times i may roam.
i'm also attached. in more ways than you can imagine.
I'm wearing my desk..... but i can't complain that i have nothing to wear.
ok.... surroundings. there is straw colouresd grass.... its pretty much dry so i guess its straw? amongst this grass there are trees, native specimens and introduced ones too. there is an old office. i could bne in there but im not. but thats ok cause i've got alll i need. i'm strapped into my office as my office is strapped to me.
i'm going to stand up now. but first i'm going to put the CF card back into the camera, Funny though... how you have become a single identity. as opposed to whats really going on.... i know there are millions of you...... but now now, only one at a time.

Wearable Desk Blog Performance 1.: Seedling Art Space

Anodised aluminium, enamel paint, rubber, foam, plywood, nylon strap
Parasol, disposable blog suit, laptop, camera, internet connection, pot, plant.

My work is an investigation into blogging as a public act and aspects of the private in performative gesture using a stills camera and performance as process and tool for blogging. This inquiry considers the performative qualities in weblogs and maintaining live and camera based performance as valid forms of blogging, outside of the virtual arena.
The work has expanded to incorporate an understanding of the performative nature of blogging through developing processes and mechanisms for blogging outside of the virtual arena. The wearable desk, allows for blogging to be performed anywhere, it is an utilitarian device for blogging, just like the one-person-band it can be taken anywhere, and is both the spectacle and the instrument for an act of performance.
Documentation via stills from the camera are used as the primary source and content for this blog. It is also important to note a connection between the blog and the performance with the space; Seedling art space was once an experimental orchard used to try out fruit varieties not found in S.A at the beginning of the 20th century. Whilst also trialing fruit specimens, chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers were used as part of the experiments and the old space where this gallery runs from was this orchards office.
This juxtaposition between my outdoor office and the old orchard office with ‘indoor’ art allows for an interesting discourse between the two different spaces.
