Internal Changes...one day in

Went to Flying Saucer for a beer last night, I ordered the lightest colored beer I could find and proceeded to color it the most brilliant shade of deep blue, people could not figure out what the fuck I was drinking. Once again just by the color it took on a strange taste in my mind. On my arrival home I found that after only one day of this I am already noticing a profound difference in the coloring of certain "waste products", was actually a pleasantly shocking surprise. I mean the shit is Aqua! No photos yet but soooooon.

BLUE - Day 1

So something kind of unexpected, while blue colored water tastes no different than regular water (cuz that's all it is) mentally I'm having a difficult time drinking full glasses of it....I seem to imagine some strange taste difference that simply does not exist. I'm sure this will change in the coming days.

Kinda Blue

Tomorrow will start the "blue" project. All blue drinks for the next two weeks. I will document what affect this has on my internal and external environments. Stay tuned for words and pictures updating this experiment.

The Party...

Like some crazed 70's Italian flic, shag carpets, furry beds, half naked people, mod furniture, and hipsters. Somehow a strange and perfect evening somehow.

The Glove is gone

And what was achieved / learned / discovered from all of this? Well maybe some little things...random thoughts about the lack of sensation, the warmth, the numbness of a very important receptacle for sensation. Some of the simple things that became difficult at times were: showering, cooking, hanging pictures, typing, shopping, etc. I must say though at night it was a very different beast all together than during the day, there was a comfort level that existed in the evening that was subtle yet very present. The lack of balance that existed between the right and the left, the difference in temperature and weight. When I did remove it finally there was a period of about 3 minutes where I swear I still had it on. The object will soon be mounted and ready to present in my own personal museum. (photos to come of course).

also stay tuned for Tuesday Nov. 13th I will begin my next project. For the ten days that follow I will drink only liquids that are blue in color. The point is to see what affect this will have on my internal enviroment...any physical (and mental) changes will be documented and posted, as well as photos of the varieties of drinks I can find.

Joseph Beuys

Pictured in the performance "How to explain paintings to a dead hare". In between my own pieces I'll be posting influential works and words by others (well others who have had some impact on my own way of seeing and thinking). I also hope to document what I would call accidental performances by random people both friends and strangers. Stay tuned.

Hand in Glove

Tomorrow at 8 AM I will begin my first project. This will involve weraing a glove on my left hand for the next three days thus depriving that hand of any tactile experiences (except that of the inside of the glove of course) for that period of time. A simple excercise in creating a barrior so as to inhibit or at least dull the senses involved in certain physical contact. Photos will follow.

MONDAY, OCT. 5th.

The is the last full day of this particular (and tiny) event. The Next piece will begin one week from today...stay tuned...there will of course be updates, photos, and thoughts in between.
