> > > > 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
Classic Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed every 12 hours... perfect
trans-avant-garde memes for the 90`s! A continuum of minimalist masks in
the face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphors for the
everyday...
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.
An extension of the printed ISBN-Book series... critically acclaimed...
imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced over time...
ineluctable, vertiginous connections.

~ This interminable, relentless sequence of imagery began in earnest on
December 30, 1994. The basic structure of the project has been over
twenty-three years in the making. While the specific sequence of
photographs has been presently orchestrated for more than 10 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 cultural
projects and sources.
~ A very low-volume, moderated mailing list for announcements and
occasional commentary related to this project has been established. Send

-- This project has not received government art-subsidies. Some opportunities still exist for financially assisting the publication of a CD-ROM archive of sequenced 12hr-ISBN-JPEG imagery. Other supporters receive rare copies of the first three web-offset printed ISBN-Books.
