Twelve (eleven) collaborators meet every week with Kara and Jesse.

“Melting snowball:  A text in which each word has one letter less than the preceding one, and the last word only one letter.”  (The letters are minutes.  The topic is selected by the first person up.)

“N+7:  replacing each noun with the seventh following it in a dictionary.”  (The dictionary entries are footsteps.  The text is a video.)

Palindromes.  Exquisite corpses.

OR we all do Robbie’s “My Week” project.

Last night, Hyatt (my collab partner) and I met with Kara. I had missed a few meetings because I was driving across the country with a friend. I got back this morning (3:30 AM PST), with 33 days until the MOMA screening and 13 days until our internal deadline. By some measures, that’s nothing. By other measures, it’s a long time. Now how do images, sound, and story function together over time? In 13 days, we’ll find a way.
