Divergency and visibility
Boiling Clouds
I’ve been posting less and less new stuff, partly because I find running the site a distraction from what I enjoy doing – making my thoughts and other imaginings real through writing and creating images – but mainly because I don’t enjoy working under the conditions that apply in this medium and I reckon doing things at my pace, under my own aegis is the way to go.
Also, network connectivity and convergency is not for me. It’s a great macro-descriptor of local and global conditions, but from a pre-limited baseline consciousness that I don’t feel comfortable with; it encourages linear narratives; it promotes time-limited thinking; and it operates as a highly visible, even dazzling, structure of control.
I’m going to produce my text myself and distribute it how I see fit. But I’m not disappearing or cutting myself off: I’m attempting to make myself more visible. I’m going to show my photographs and the other images I’ve created to people so they can see what they look like, unmediated except for local atmospheric conditions. I’m going face to face with the world.
I’m going to reimagine Feastofpalmer.com as an archive site for a selection of things that I’ve done so far. I was going to underline this change by renaming the site ”Feats of Palmer”, but although it’s a really funny pun, it’d be far too much trouble to organise. A new-look archival format will be in place soon and new archival content will be added periodically.
If you’re interested in obtaining further material, please look out for a link to a one-page contact site that I’ll put up presently.
Thanks for reading up to here.
