jeffrey skoller will be unhappy that i’m posting this visually inferior and low quality version of sharits’ remarkable work. and he’s right to be. don’t be fooled by ubuweb. it’s still digital. compressed, and not at all of the quality of the original materiality, including, being in a public space to view it collectively. so anyone reading this would do well to either seek out jeffrey’s classes at UCB, or hope to see it sometime in it’s original medium/context. it may not seem like it, but this is a direct response to the two previous posts. i learned this from jeffrey.
AND: you must commit to seeing it from beginning to end. for 33 mins. so sit back in a comfortable place to view it on as large a screen as possible.
