Finally publishing the documentation of last year’s Research Lab project
in Konstfack, University College of arts, craft and design, Stockholm. The
documentation is a set of articles about my art works spanning from my educational times in the mid 90s until today, published in a website with the name and web address, map.linusersson.com. The
articles are written in a speech kind of way, with the intention of also being
a tool for me when I present my work in different contexts. The articles can be
read in the order they were published in the site, or in the end of each article the reader can choose between three given choices of which article to read next. Meaning also that you don't have to read'em at all at the same time but can come back at another time and choose differently.
In this way I try to illustrate that my practice (or any artist for that matter) is not always being logical or consistent but on the contrary often tends to run away in different directions, choosing side tracks and may even end up in sayings that seem contradictory. Sayings that not necessarily are meant to tell truths or reflect my own beliefs and opinions, but rather raise questions and picture phenomenons and tendencies of the time we live in.
I'm not sure I've suceeded totally with these intentions and I mean to develop this site (or a new one) further, maybe into some kind of blogging tool where you can write posts, not in chronological order but more like the branching system of the mind mapping softwares (Xmind, Freemind) I often use when I write. A tool that might have the potential to be a better suited system for documenting an artistic work and research process than the traditional ones used in research today. In such a system the ability to commenting posts and building up communicational systems with the readers of different levels would also be of high importance.
In the meantime I will continue using this blog for publishing posts about the progress, (I'm also still working on my Golem Game) and also publish selected articles from my map.linusersson.com- site
