Thoughts on the fourth dimensions relationship to Fred Jameson’s discourse on the disappearance of utopia from the conceivable future:


I was reminded of some of my initial project aims after speaking about my work to some different folks last week prompting me to review my Artist Statement. I’m not sure if these thoughts will make it into the final statement, I think they may still fall into the category of [broader art practice /too complicated-unresolved to explain coherently /too hard basket].

[INSERT TITLE HERE] represents a body of work seeking to relate the unimaginability of a future radically different from our current state and the imperceptible nature of the fourth dimension.

Both concepts are; inextricably related through time, Einstein’s theory of relativity, and in recognition of capital exploiting linear time as an oppressive force; and both are directly immaterial. I absolutely cannot argue that capitals accretion of material worth through the exploitation of linear time is immaterial, although money is conceptual and the materiality of wealth inequity is so wide spread it’s difficult to quantify, because it’s almost every shitty thing…you see what I mean by ‘too hard basket’.

I have employed hyperbolic geometry’s proximity to the fourth dimensions exponent nature as a method of manifestation for the accreting thickness of time.


To explain more didactically the projection is a kind of live image filter of the viewer in space, the viewer can see their past movements lingering in the projected image. What I was trying to achieve was a kind of momentary thickening, something like Donnie Darko’s tubular experience of himself with the spooky rabbit but ideally less cliché, or at least cliché in a different way. Hopefully there is a aesthetic resonance with the matrix also echoed it’s shared relationship with simulacra.
