I read my notes that I carefully made.
I flip through the pages back and forth.
A sinking feeling becomes evermore present in my gut.
I look at the screen I type in some commands, I open yet more windows and as I suspected, not much happens.
Is it in gigs or css?
Again with the notes.
I'm actually sweating.
It's OK just go to the template and alter the scanned images in Photoshop. Yeah kewl that I can do.
Where's the template? It was just here on the desktop! It's not in the Tawds file anyomre and it's not on the desktop.
Oh Oh I have to get this done for the site, the new secrets should be up now.
Can't call Trev until after Stargate...
Oh Oh Oh Why did I wanna do a work with a web component?
You get the idea?
I call Trev again and again and again.
Never wanted to know this stuff, really, until now.
His wise words of advice, "You will do it, you just have more pain to go through first."
After sleep I pack up my mac and head to Trev's for another lesson in html pain management...
Oh yeah, who is Matt Power?
Short answer; dunno.
I do know he she or it tagged all the pages on my appointment book last weekend during the show and also scratched into the aluminum clip board of the booking sheet in large capitals MATT POWER
Nice to know that this art project also works as a street lamp for those dogs who feel compelled to cock their leg and leave their calling card!
Nice to know that I will take Matt Power now to wherever THMC goes next, but fortunately, it's a secret as to who Matt Power actually is.
At first I was angry but after thinking about it, I realized that I or rather the project THMC was given a secret in a different way and that is kinda kewl. I hope I never know who Matt Power is. The question in this case, is so so much better and more intriguing, more elusive, than the answer.
Don't get me wrong if he/she defaced other things in the project I would simply replace them. But I choose to see this graffiti as a lesson: Don't ever pigeonhole how people will interact with an arts project that has an element of invited participation. People are constantly surprising, and I think that (most of the time) is a good thing. :-) TH
