you're not my neighbor.

I was late for work Friday morning (like every other morning) because I find ways to completely ignore my alarm clock. For all I know, I wake up and turn the damn thing off in my sleep.


Even though it happens every day, it's still fucking annoying.

U Dun Wanna C: austin's experiment 00:01:18;08

Austin's Coffee was celebrating its new hours last night (now open 24 hours a day!) so I decided I'd ride my bike over and show some support.

I also used the time to work on an experiment I thought of on a whim while sitting there drinking an espresso and Bailey's: random "art."

My process was to take a clip and cut random segments from it, change the duration and speed of the segments, and layer them.

Then I recorded about 10 seconds of audio while sitting at the coffee counter and repeated the process with the audio clip.

After that, I looped it a few times and encoded the video. I didn't watch or listen to anything. The first time I saw it was on Vimeo. And here it is.

Is this art? Can this be art without having any intention? Can this be art without having any purpose? Can this be art without having any meaning?

Does it have intention? Does it have purpose? Does it have meaning?

Does anyone truly care? (Me included.)
