a good gathering last night at the opening despite the rain. was able to introduce myself and a look at some past site-specific projects and give a look toward what i'm investigating at the Berwick (while questionably articulate, was able to convey some idea nonetheless). was given good feedback and directions to look for others who've worked w/ vibration....artists (audio and visual), scientists, etc. I felt welcomed and supported...thank you.

this morning imagining physical ways to take/make sensual core samples of the building in the gallery space. sketches to come. also thinking of some raw material i've never managed to work into a project which may become part of this....a series of photos of my friend inside a chemical reactor (late night research laboratory intervention)—an 8 foot tall plexi tube w/ impellers, cleaned, filled w/ water and lit w/intense color. they're embryonic, erotic, test-tube, jello salad, scary, gorgeous. maybe the kore/korai preserved. we'll see.

last meeting i announced 2 concrete goals for myself to meet by next week, Oct. 24. I will present a physical vibration experiment, and some edit of the volcano/lava flow footage. evidence to follow.
