THE AUTUMN WOODS

Noah Kalina used another HUNTERTHEN track for his ambient videos. Stunning shots, ambient sound, and I just love hearing Noah in the woods with the sound of rain and thunder in the background.

Definitely go subscribe to his new ambient channel KALINA.

MAKING PHOTOGRAPHS

Nathan Pearce seems sweet and nice. This is quick glimpse of a fella doing live and making photographs. Making zines and hanging with friends. So sweet.

“Nathan Pearce (born 1986) is an artist based in Southern Illinois. Pearce works in book and zine making and photography. Pearce’s publications are held in several artists’ book and library collections including those at MoMA, The Met, Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the Center for Creative Photography.”

MORE IMMERSIVE

My HUNTERTHEN music made an appearance in the latest Hotline Show by Noah Kalina.

The track ‘More Immersive’ is from my 2003 release ‘Wizard Box.’

I didn’t even recognize it at first (Noah had asked permission, of course), but when I did it really threw me for a loop, to hear my music matched with Noah’s stunning visuals.

WAITING AS A GOAL

What if the waiting is the goal.

This reminds me a passage in “Why We Gather,” by Priya Parker.

The part about waiting in line to get into some big political rally. People standing in line for hours. Then sitting. All the waiting. All the downtime.

Not saying every minute needs to be optimized, but like the story above – the artist served food. Made it an event.

What slowed down, made-to-wait experience can you incorporate into your work?

MAKE REAL STUFF

From Joshua Heath Scott:

“As artists and creatives, we face the challenge of standing out against the digital tide. Han explores the importance of making real, physical art that holds emotions, memories, and true community value, unlike the fleeting nature of digital information.”

This really makes me want to start putting together a print version of Social Media Escape Club. Of printing photos every month. Of making newspaper projects with Newspaper Club.
