>>>>Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A
`round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery by Brad Brace.The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable; itsuspends identity, relations and history.

The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project
-----------------------------
began December 30, 1994

Classic Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed every 12 hours... perfecttrans-avant-garde memes for the 90`s! A continuum of minimalist masks inthe face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphors for theeveryday... A poetic reversibility of events.

A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random sequence of imagery...genuine gritty, greyscale... corruptable, compact, collectable and compellingconvergence. The voluptuousness of the grey imminence: the art of makingthe other disappear. Continual visual impact; an optical drumming, sculptedin duration, on the endless present of the Net.

An extension of the printed ISBN-Book series... critically acclaimed...imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced over time... ineluctable,vertiginous connections.

~ This interminable, relentless sequence of imagery began in earneston December 30, 1994. The basic structure of the project has been overtwenty-three years in the making. While the specific sequence of photographshas been presently orchestrated for more than 10 years` worth of 12-hourpostings, I will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the ongoing publicationwith additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour posting is like theturning of a page; providing ample time for reflection, interruption, andassimilation.

~ The sites listed above also contain information on other culturalprojects and sources.

~ A very low-volume, moderated mailing list for announcements and occasionalcommentary related to this project has been established. Send e-mail to:listserv@netcom.com /subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg

-- This project has not received government art-subsidies. Some opportunitiesstill exist for financially assisting the publication of a CD-ROM archiveof sequenced 12hr-ISBN-JPEG imagery. There's some possibility of editionsof large prints; perhaps (Iris) giclee duotones on newsprint! Other supportersreceive rare copies of the first three web-offset printed ISBN-Books.
