    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; it suspends identity, relations and
history.


The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project

----------------------------- began December 30,
1994


Pointless Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed
every 12 hours... a stellar, trajective alignment
past the 00`s! A continuum of minimalist masks in
the face of catastrophe; conjuring up
transformative metaphors for the everyday... A
poetic reversibility of events...

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

An extension of the printed ISBN-Book (0-9690745)
series... critically unassimilable... imagery is
gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced over
time... ineluctable, vertiginous connections. The
12hr dialtone...

Here`s how:

~ Set www-links to -
http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/12hr.html. Look
for the 12-hr-icon. Heavy traffic may require you
to specify files more than once! Anarchie, Fetch,
CuteFTP, TurboGopher...

~ E-mail - If you only have access to email, then
you can use FTPmail to do essentially the same
thing. Send a message with a body of 'help' to the
server address nearest you:

~ Mirror-sites requested! Archives too! The latest
new jpeg will always be named, 12hr.jpeg Average
size of images is only 45K. * Perl program to
mirror ftp-sites/sub-directories:
src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/mirror *

~ Postings to usenet groups: alt.12hr
alt.binaries.pictures.12hr
alt.binaries.pictures.misc
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.misc

* * Ask your system's news-administrator to carry
these groups! (There are also usenet image
browsers: TIFNY, PluckIt, Picture Agent,
PictureView, Extractor97, NewsRover, Binary News
Assistant, Newsfeeds)

~ This interminable, relentless sequence of
imagery began in earnest on December 30, 1994. The
basic structure of the project has been over
twenty-four years in the making. While the
specific sequence of photographs has been
presently orchestrated for more than 12 years`
worth of 12-hour postings, I will undoubtedly be
tempted to tweak the ongoing publication with
additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour
posting is like the turning of a page; providing
ample time for reflection, interruption, and
assimilation.

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

~ A very low-volume, moderated mailing list for
announcements and occasional commentary related to
this project has been established at topica.com

-- This project has not received government
art-subsidies. Some opportunities still exist for
financially assisting the publication of editions
of large (36x48") prints; perhaps (Iris giclees)
inkjet quadtones bound as an oversize book. Other
supporters receive rare copies of the first three
web-offset printed ISBN-Books. <<
