will i ever be able to retrieve these notes — to juxtapose them with art works if i ever make art

time is passing
<i> wanted to make some major work using objects for art
the idea to make one major work a year for the rest of my life — this was to be the object year — i probably should stick to that — i think of video but that would require more software and i don’t want to get into that

rauschenberg’s open type works
the gluts book shows the work totally isolated from any background
(showing objects like that in video or photo rather than against a background
try to isolate the object)
(i don’t know how they get the background to disappear — there are shadows)

Caro in his late 70’s when these pieces were made
Rauschenberg also

unable to decide
is there any reason to decide

i think that digital is the way to go and then i think of long pieces of pipe removed from the house

how can they be photographed
what is the scaling factor

the idea of having a pieces 7 or 8 ft tall vs a screen image less than a foot high

i should just start working on a piece — the pipe and object piece i have in mind — <i> just need to cut some wood and put the thing together — (then i need to store it)

but i don’t feel like going to get wood or keeping an inventory of wood
i think of doing a digital piece but my hard drives aren’t connected and it’s difficult to get the shit together

no system
