PARANOID...Web

The proposed project Jst Bcz Ur Paranoid... Web will take as its point of departure the X-PRZ installation JST BCZ UR PARANOID DNT THNK THYR NT AFTR U (MALCOLM X PT. 1) which toured the US from February 1993 through March 1994. The work included twenty six 4X5 foot photographic lightboxes and two channels of video material with sound. As a web site the work will be presented as a non-linear reading experience consisting of fragments from proposals, catalog text from the original exhibition, text sources and inspirations, slide images of single photographs and documentation of the work as installed at various venues, reviews and commentary from outside and inside the group, and audio files. (Note: Look out for the audio files. They're indiscriminately buried among the text and image links.)

The formal organization will be layered and associative rather than linear in the sense of a traditional exhibition catalog. We hope that the reader will eventually find the trajectory of links more interesting than the documentary spine which supports them. We plan to provide a suitable array of links on each page so as to discourage the practice of returning to the beginning for orientation.
