Ridiculous! At Elephant West, 9 Jan - 2 Feb 2020 I did manage to develop Atom into a longer piece, from 3 to 7 minutes. What helped was to create as intimate a space as possible in which to try telling the story again and again to myself. Instead of changing anything about the physical … Continue reading 2020 January: Personal Metrics and Elephant West
Okay, so I have quite a few different things going on at once… I need to address the weakest link in my understanding, which is the machine learning/AI side of the project, or at least the analogies I draw with the field. I’ve composed an email ready to send once the lecturer’s strike is over, … Continue reading 2019 December: Performance Anxiety
01/11/19 One challenge right now is to answer that blunt question: So what? So there is this hypothesis developing where I want to present the writing/reading phenomenon as a model from which all ‘life-like’ behaviour stems. So what? I want to talk about the role of the author as a medium accommodating other subjectivities in … Continue reading 2019 November: Artist as Medium and Person
Professor John Frow of Sydney University is somebody I may wish to establish contact with, as his book, Character and Person (2014), is very related to my project. We have even come across some of the same examples (Kundera) as instances of character/person crossover. He may even be appropriate as a supervisor, although I should … Continue reading 2019 October: Defining the Field and Forging Connections in the Literature

It’s been a good month for me so far, opening my first solo show on 9th Aug at Tension Fine Art Gallery in Penge, London. Despite opening a show during one of the quietest months of the art calendar, it was pretty well attended, and I found myself busy throughout. The aim of the show … Continue reading 2019 August: First Solo Exhibition
Week 1 Applied for Graduate Trainee Tutor positions. Stared at my novel for an entire day without doing much to it. Got frustrated but at least I tried. Decided to keep the exhibition at Tension super simple, again, and just focus on showcasing as many videos as aesthetically suitable. No new name, just The One-Woman … Continue reading 2019 June: Imposter Syndrome
Tom Cardew and I are awarded the Golden Aesop Grand Prix in Contemporary Art at the Gabrovo Biennial of Humor and Satire, Gabrovo. 2019. Ah, I feel giddy. Today I wanted to throw myself back into work, after coming home from Wales, and anticipating going to Bulgaria next week. But I feel too hyperactive, as … Continue reading 2019 May: Acknowledgement and Rejection
I may want to try structuring my day more. At home, I feel the day goes on governed by my human weaknesses, and growing timidness to face things. How to organise myself though? How specifically should I compartmentalise my time? I’ve tried to categorise the types of work I need to do and timetable them, … Continue reading 2019 April: Giddily Ineffectual
Pseudo, 2019. Live Performance at Camden Peoples Theatre. Katarina Rankovic. I am performing Pseudo today again for Redact the Abstract 5 in Silvertown. The nerves are starting to appear again, but I’m trying to fight them off. I don’t like the breakdown behaviour I had in the week running up to the Camden Peoples Theatre … Continue reading 2019 March: Performing Live
