well. monogamy. laugh.
there is something quite strong in the sense of “longing” that is developed in watching these “micro50″ events. of wanting them to go longer, but knowing in doing that they would be denatured. why not longer? at what point do they approach a “regular” length in terms of how they are experienced? why 50 frames? why not 70? or 100?
i am all finished here in Perth now – just waiting for a plane.
see you both soon.

Hi
Finally got around to looking at the micro50s. Interesting work. I cant yet get them onto my video ipod so, unless you have found someone else who has one, you will have to wait for someone more technically proficient to help me sort it out.
Meanwhile, thoughts on what I have seen…umm, odd responses. They makes me think about what I am longing for when I view dance on a small screen.
‘Where are you?’ I find myself saying. ‘Simon, is that you? Who are these people? Show yourselves’. Odd, isn’t it, as though dancing for me on a little screen would really let me ‘see’ you, ‘know’ you and yet that is what I long for. Perhaps the Lacanian ‘lack’ that is generated in the space between your microscopic dancing and my longing eyes is resonating with other meanings, other possibilities but my longing eyes search the screen and it can only reveal the ‘lack’. ‘Don’t stop, please don’t stop, I haven’t seen you yet’. Yes, the response does seem to be getting more sensuous the more I write about, interesting…
And finally, a word about development over time. I love the sense of development in these small pieces as they progress through time, each task revealing more complexity of thought and action. The sense of ‘something’ is increasing. Lovely.
