No Matter What Shape - The Archive

In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

Seth Apter's Disintegration Collaboration calls for final documentations today and here's mine. Sometime between installation and March 31st the project achieved it's objective, maybe. I suspect that the piece was pulled down by human hands and thrown away as opposed to being blown down and set upon the wind. You can see some of the early documentations here as well as "Disintegration Admiration - The Movie" a short scroll below. I'll be posting more about this tomorrow at MickMathersARTblog.

Disintegration Admiration: The Movie -


"Disintegration Admiration: The Movie"
digital video by Mick Mather
I installed "Stimulus Package I", for Seth's project, Disintegration Admiration, this afternoon during a bit of a lull as a cold front blew fiercely through the BIG Back Yard. I took a number of documentation photos and then, as the thing moved vigorously in the wind, I decided to shoot a short movie in the event that it was immediately carried away. So far, so good. I'll continue the documentation over the course of the next 6 weeks or so and post the results here.
