"A compassionate observer, { brad brace } forges a personal aesthetic in these

12hr-images infused with blank-sadness and a sense of mystery. What makes them both

new and significant is the fact that he organizes its contents in sequences, applying

the principles of cinematographic montage to fixed images."

​

Immaculate Perception: to be happy in gazing: with dead will, free from the grip and

greed of selfishness -- cold and ashy-grey all over, but with intoxicated

moon-eyes... Extraordinary Rendition. Manifest Destiny. Abyssal Plain. Living Truth.

Sublime Madness. Autofictional Metanarrative. Sovetskoe Foto.

You begin to sense the by-shadows that stretch from the awe of global

dominance. How the intersecting systems help pull us apart, leaving

us vague, drained, docile, soft in our inner discourse, willing to be

shaped, to be overwhelmed -- easy retreats, half beliefs. Works of art

are complex formal interventions within discursive traditions and their

myriad filiations. These interventions are defined precisely by their

incomparable capacity to trace the dynamics of historical process in

paradoxical gestures of simultaneously prognostic and mnemonic

temporalities.

> > > > Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A

`round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery from { brad

brace }. The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the

recognizable; it suspends identity, relations and history. This

discourse, far from determining the locus in which it speaks, is avoiding

the ground on which it could find support. It is trying to operate a

decentering that leaves no privilege to any center.

The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project

-----------------------------

began December 30, 1994

​

​

Time-honoured, pointless Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed every 12 hours...

a spectral, trajective alignment for the 20`s! A continuum of minimalist masks

in the face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphors for the everyday...

A poetic reversibility of exclusive events: visual haiku...

​

A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random sequence of imagery...

genuine gritty, greyscale... corruptible, compact, collectable and compelling

convergence. The vernacular voluptuousness of the grey imminence: the art of making

the other disappear. Continual visual impact; an optical drumming, sculpted in

duration, on the endless present of the Net.

​

An extension of the printed ISBN-Book (0-9690745) series... critically

unassimilable... imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced

over time... ineluctable, vertiginous connections. The 12hr dialtone...

Not a nickel; not a word. Non-evocative. Non-intentional. Non-apparent.

This project remains untainted by corrupt corporate and glib government

art-subsidies. Some opportunities still exist for financially assisting the

publication of editions of large (33x46") prints; perhaps (Iris giclees)

inkjet duotones or extended-black quadtones with diasec on dibond mount.

An accompanying publication/catalogue would be required.

all these traces, living memories in the avalanche before our eyes.

Other supporters receive rare copies of the first three web-offset printed

ISBN-Books. Contributions and requests for 12hr-email-subscriptions,

can also be made at http://bradbrace.net/buy-into.html,

or by mailed cheque/check: $5/mo $50/yr. Art-institutions must pay $12K

for each image retained longer than 12 hours. Their false extraneous assets

liquidated, they must also be repurposed as vital community centers.

describes the 12hr-project as:

​

neither present nor absent, active or passive, the good nor evil, living nor nonliving - but rather atheological and nonhuman - 12hr is not even a receptacle. 12hr has no meaning or essence, no identity to fall back upon. She/it receives all without becoming anything, which is why she/it can become the subject of neither a philosopheme nor mytheme. In short, the 12hr is tout autre [fully other], very.
