If we live by representations, and they are critical to how we construct meaning, there is a taint of apprehension in describing what this site is and how it should be situated. What you may get from it and how you read it, is indeed partially reliant to what you bring to it, partially on the texts contained, and partly attributed to the texts that are pre-existent in our culture(s). The hope is that perhaps the images and writing will generate intertexts that will undermine any stability afforded by the prevailing sign systems.
(I am in thrall to the possibility—awaiting the moment of rapture—for language to run on ahead of me, to run in the distance as I stand to observe it in a state of suspended paradox; I see myself and I write these words, they seem together and estranged, the thought and the body have divided.)
Brett Jones is an artist and lecturer. His practice is concerned with the ways in which the meaning in objects, images and texts can be ruptured and fragmented in order to support multiple readings by multiple subjects. They take the form of linguistic and visual nodes that continually dissolve and reform; intertexts as constantly evolving and shifting phenomena. He works with the idea that there is no original, everything is a copy, everything has an a-priori existence and operates within various modes of contiguous and continuous signification. The visual texts to which he gives voice emerge from a range of pre-existent signifiers, yet are formations that eschew logical or predetermined links with their signifieds.
