Subject: 12 hour project
Couldn't find anything that resembled your description of the 12 hour
project. Is this the interim before the end? Will it be available in the
future? Will archives of the past postings be available?
New to the word hypertext but very interested in connecting the concept with
graduate writing programs and letterpress.
Should I just give your last listserv posting to a student who knows more
about computers or is the site incomplete at this time, as it seems.
Thanks,

Wow, I didn¹t realize that you were posting at the same nearly, or I would
have sent you a little chat:-) I¹m digging the 12 hour series. I nearly have
enough of them for a good slide show, then I¹m really going to enjoy them
more. I¹m not sure if the hotmail address is working or not try:
jcates@earthlink.net if you would like to write back, that one is good.
Thanks for the overview of your series.

Q: You're a pioneer of sorts. The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began at the
end of 1994 and has run continuously since then. Can you describe the
project--what it does, where the images come from, etc.? How are ISBNs
involved?
Q: Do you have a particular interest in nonstandard net art formats such
as usenet, ftp, email, or are/where you simply using the technology
available to you at the time?
Q: What's your position on art vis-a-vis the museum? What are the
perfect conditions for artmaking?

to be honest.. all i know is from the descriptions that you have on the
website. plus just reading your emails over the years..
but my knowledge doesn't really matter, since for the interview i want you
to describe it for someone who's never seen it before. dig?

Subject: 12 hr
I've been enjoying these odd posts for several months, off and on. What
are these? 12 hour exposures? What a concept! :) I've been looking
for one to use as a background for my sig or webpage, if I find one
mostly dark with whispery hints of smoke. Is this something you would
give me permission to use, if I found the right pic?

Hello Brad Brace, I never saw the repost of 04318 on the 2
newsgruops I am currently subscribed to. They are
alt.binaries.pictures.12hr and
alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.misc . Is there another one I
should be subscribing to? or should I contact my network
adm. Let me know and I will be happy to do either. I have
really fallen in love with your project over the past year
and have told any one who will listen to me about it. It's
a big part of my online experience. I literally look forward
to it everyday . the first thing I do when I go online is
save your jpeg in my bbrace folder everyday. Very nice work!
Is there anyway I can get archived files from you? I
haven't used them yet in any work that I am currently
involved in, but i do have some idea
s and will give you FULL credit for your wonderful project
if and when things unfold as they should. happily keeping up
with you, David Koch

The photographic act consists of entering this space
of intimate complicity, not to master it,
but to play along with it
and to demonstrate
that nothing has been decided
yet.
"What cannot be said
must be kept silent."
But what cannot be said
can also be kept silent
through a display
of images.

hi brad, as always, have been checking the 12hr
images and enjoying your great eye for architectural
photography. i've been saving your electrically-related
ones in hopes of linking to your originals in an exhibit.
saw today's photo 04447 and almost fell off my chair. i
just scanned a dozen similar photos from a trip oversees
of italian scaffolding that reminds me of a christo-wrapped
object. will be putting them up very soon on a new website
under the 'scaffolding' category and will send you the url
before it is launched. still working on bugs, and one more
major content update before a 12/00 launch schedule. i think
your architectural photography should be compiled and shown
on its own merits. this may be contrary to the spirit of the
12hr project, but i think your photos are remarkable in this
regard and deserve a concentrated look by those whom study
and experience the built environment. still planning to meet.
gauging if/when howard will be in town versus calling you
beforehand. in any case, thanks for the inspiration. brian

The birding is wonderful--Central Flyway, Padre Island and all--but you
should come during the Spring migration. There's an island down that way
where all the migrating birds just fall from the sky exhausted after the Gulf

The two ladies I know are Grand Dames who might be able to introduce you to
artistes if there are any down there. You have to let me know a day or so in
advance because it's quite a drive from Wonderful Waco. The Grand Dames are
about sixty or so, but they are two of my favo-rite gals in Texas, very much
fun.
Your kind request about writing caused me to glow and give off sparks, since
I have written nothing at all in six months. So I spent the rest of the day
getting serious, researching writing, realizing what a racket it is.
Non-fiction is by specialists with a Phd in the field. Fiction is a horrible
funnel to romance novels very simply worded. Poetry is for gift cards and
thank you notes. The horror vaccuii was filled with occult nightmares more
stunningly lit than the initiation rite I busted in on the night before.

Subject: matchbook movies
Brad -
I'm just writing to let you know that the Aggressively Boring Film Festival
site will be going live next week. I'm going to send out a pre-announcement
to you and all of the filmmakers. There were over 70 entries and I've
decided to post pretty much all of the films, to really offer an assortment
of the type and style of film that people will be putting forth for p.d.a.s
in the near future.
That said, I want to offer a range of your matchbook movies on the site,
but I have set up a limit of 13 films, in part because there is a randomize
feature on the site and I want to make sure that all the filmmakers receive
their fair share of exposure. I'm sure you will agree to that reasoning.
FYI - There will be a link to your web site so that really interested
viewers can go and see the rest of the films in your series.
Hope you're having a good Thanksgiving weekend.
Cheers,

Hello,
I am not certain whom I am contacting yet. I am a graphic

building a web site for a client. I was browsing the net for
images for royalty free images and came across your site. I
have a limite

beautiful and I would be interested in using one for the
site. Would you be interested in selling limited usage
rights for one of your photos?
I don't want to get your hopes up. My budget is very
limited, but I would love to be able to use one of you
pictures. In particular I was interested in desert10-8,
desert10-18, desert10-20, or desert10-7. I am refering to
the way they were labelled on the web site.
Please contact me ASAP. I need to settle this possibility
in a few days. Thank you.

Subject: Wagner Bazarin Art Gallery - Holidays season
Dear brad brace:
One Day by Rupert Brooke
Today I have been happy. All the day
I held the memory of you, and wove
Its laughter with the dancing light o' the spray,
And sowed the sky with tiny clouds of love,
And sent you following the white waves of sea,
And crowned your head with fancies, nothing worth,
Stray buds from that old dust of misery,
Being glad with a new foolish quiet mirth.
So lightly I played with those dark memories,
Just as a child, beneath the summer skies,
Plays hour by hour with a strange shining stone,
For which (he knows not) towns were fire of old,
And love has been betrayed, and murder done,
And great kings turned to a little bitter mould.
Today I have been happy.
I held the memory of you, ... and wish you success, health, and
happiness.
Great Holidays season and a Happy New Year,
Wagner Bazarin

Dear colleage,
A link to your site has been added to ArtCluster's link-collection.
ArtCluster has the ambition to build a small collection of linx with high
quality art. No ugly banners with screaming colors, no webrings loaded
with ugliness.
After careful consideration we have made a links list of sites which in our
opinion contain 'high quality art'.
http://www.teleport.com/~bbrace/bbrace.html is on that list, which you can
find on the linx page of http://www.artcluster.com/ (click the 'linx' -
button). If you would prefer a different name/description of your site let
us know and we will adjust it as soon as possible. Suggestions for other
sites are very welcome also.
We believe that good sites like ours should support each other in a world
where mediocrity rules. We would appreciate it when you link back to
http://www.artcluster.com/. If you prefer a text-link we suggest
"ArtCluster - Virtual artgalleries & whiteboard" as a description. And if
you are feeling generous and you would consider an image link you can find
more specific link information at http://62.108.1.126/tbvrene/banner/
Congratulations with your great site. Keep up the good work !

Subject: Thanks for Bracelli
Dear Bruce,
Thanks for your pages -- and especially for posting the work of your
ancestor, Giovanni Battista Bracelli. That's how I came to your page.
At Arisia last weekend -- it's an annual science fiction/fantasy
convention in Boston -- I asked Polish/French Artist Guest of Honor
Wojtek Siudmak about his influences. First in line was Caravaggio, but
after that Bracelli. I'd never heard of him; don't believe any of the
other spectators at Siudmak's slide show had either.
He explained (in French, via translator) that Bracelli was a 17th
century Italian proto-surrealist engraver. Told us about his projects
like the carpenter made of drawers. And said that Dali had taken much
from Bracelli, but usually without acknowledging the debt.
When I searched the net today, though, Bracelli pickings were
extremely slim. Yours was the only place I could find an actual series
of works. Now if only I could figure out Bracelli's dates and locale,
so I could put them in the convention newsletter I'm writing ...
Anyway, thanks much for contributing to the rich, crazy diversity of
the net!
regards,
Bob Devney

> > > > Synopsis: alphanumeric THE INANITY Making texts for these sex
environments interests me.
Stop the inanity, sex. I'm being buried with meaningless spam. spam
generated for no good reason, by ascii going through the motions.
Either they're under the illusion they're being productive by issuing
personal a-z on absolutely everything, or they're convinced they're
actually bigger, more important 0-9, because they're leaving their mark
far and 9-0.
Net.Art is dead. No, really.
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Sender: text
Those who hold their alphanumeric are soon forgotten. Those who hold their
z-a will simply be overwhelmed and disappear. People who choose
their ascii wisely will be buried alive by the indiscriminate
z-a, those with identities maintained by spewing continuous
personal 0-9 on absolutely everything. They issue high volumes of
drivel in order to assert, and maintain a case for, their very spam.

These individuals, Hey my name is a-z, I'm new to the Internet, could you
help me and some of my friends out?
My friends Lisa, Dawn, Lori, Beth and I just started College and are doing
this to get us through alphanumeric.
We just put up some web pages and are not really sure if it's good. Can
you check it out and let me know what you think? We don't know if you like
ascii's (about 30 pics of that), or just plain without any 9-0 (About 50 of
that), Lisa and Lori did some z-a stuff cause they are dating, and me and
Lori have a little text with our sex! :-)
Please tell me the truth, as I really, really, really, want to make it on
the Internet! These chains of descriptive prose interest me.

Josephine: I suppose that interviews may have that function. Interest in
the 12hr-project tends to expand mostly from the viewers themselves rather
than depending on (the old artworld's) insular, hierarchical validation
and critically fashionable recommendations. I still find it curious, if
not just plain rude, that I'm recently approached to do interviews by
people who can't be bothered to view the work that they wish to discuss! I
assume, as old institutions and their proponents now decide to come
online, that they bring-along their old incestuous attitudes and presumed
arrogance.
However, I'll answer your initial questions...
I'd appreciate a response to _my question about connections with
microtonal music -- this is an area I'd like to explore in the interview.

Subject: RHIZOME_RAW: "Give it a chance!"
Hello Josephine,
I noticed your email below published on Rhizome.org &
thought to my- self, well Brad has a point that many
contemporary artists are keen to actively deny.
The other thing is, why? Like I am doing publicly, have you
thought it important to declare Brad's response to your
questions for everyone to see in a context which seems
(forgive me if I am wrong) detrimental to the him. As an
artist/creator surely that individual has a right in how
they are represented in the media. Make no mistake, Rhizome
is just as much part of the media world even though it is
not necessarily openly saying it is. I'm sure that you are
well aware of this fact.
It seems to me that Brad's work speaks for itself, which in
a way is what he was trying to say. Please look at my work
for it speaks for itself!
Because he does not (consciously) desire to use the accepted
language process of the interview format is surely his
decision thus making him seem wrong and paranoid in the eyes
of others. Those of course who use that language will be
accepted more readily because they are less likely to
challenge the intentions of that individual/organization
concerned.
I respect of your opinion and feelings on the situation
mentioning how uncomfortable you felt trying to interview
him. Brad was wrong to presume that you alone are an
institution. In a sense his beef is not with you, it^Òs the
arena that you are presently moving into or are part of.
Your choice of who you are interviewing I presume has come
about through searching for interesting underground talent
on the net, those who have not had plenty of coverage
already. Enriching the already growing creative Internet
environment and its varied contributions to the world.
His work and ideas are on the line here, and I have not
always agreed with Brad's sentiments and some of them I
have. Personally he has always inspired me (he does not know
me by the way) as some one who is prepared to go against the
art arena's presumptions and question their intentions. This
is very important, and sometimes more valid than some art
itself. For it is to do with the fundamental state of
creativity itself and who owns it. We are all creating
history here whether we are aware of this consciously or
not, and if he is left out of it due to dislike or mutual
posturing it would be a shame.
(He treats me, single mum and free lance writer without
connection to any organization or even publisher, as an
institution. I wish some artists would see how even being a
rebel needs some kind of idea and insight in how to go about
it.)
His answers are valid and should be taken on in the spirit
of creative questioning. He does not dare to say that he has
all the right answers to all the issues that he is bravely
putting himself on the line for, his reasoning is
subjective, and perhaps not immediately acceptable.
I recall when at a certain next '5 minutes' conference
'Hakim Bey' was openly criticizing the many delusory
functions of the Internet. And he got almost booed by the
mob gang of Internet reliant contingency. I looked around me
and thought, mmm interesting a god has just been criticized
here (the Internet) and all the invented hopes and dreams
with it. One mistake that anyone, and many individuals do,
is not to see the spirit of a gesture that is honest in its
action, no matter how out of place it might seem.

This is where Brad is coming from, he sees and dislikes what
others see and accept.
In respect to his open & public critizism of Heath Bunting,
well... Heath can handle it. I'm a good friend of Heath's
and we used to do alot agit-art in good ol' days together
and are still in regular contact. As Heath nows, he is being
attacked by someone who see's him as part of an institution,
someone going through the historical process of trying to
topple their throned father. A function that Heath & I used
to talk about a lot 'killing your father'. A kind of right
of passage that I myself do not adhere to.
So I am thanking you both really for giving me something
very interesting to think about. And I hope that Brad will
do you another interview for you, if he asks for it that is.
It looks like that you both got started on the wrong footing
- respect to both.

In his book "The End of Time," published to coincide with
the millennium, Dr. Julian Barbour, an independent physicist and Einstein
scholar in England, argues that the universe consists of a stack of
moments, like the cards in a deck, that can be shuffled and reshuffled
arbitrarily to give the illusion of time and history.
The Big Bang is just another card in this deck, along with every other
moment, forever part of the universe. "Immortality is here," he writes in
his book. "Our task is to recognize it."
