Are they notes? Forgotten thoughts that lead you to this place, the forgotten quiet matter that drifts by you, but affects you completely. Should it just be relevant thoughts? Now thoughts? Before, I wouldn’t place the content with the atom because it was about the shifting, drifting thoughts we have. This feels like it is making them static - permanent almost?

[thethoughtnetwork]

Wondering whether each thought atom is a diagram - leading to this moment?

[thethoughtnetwork]

I was reflecting on why the site of the studio, created such a vibrant exchange, and how I am only accessing the testspace through my thoughts and memories. I can’t help but be drawn back to the thing I responded to: thing power. I am stitching together a fragmented, warped, version of events. I try to think of the imprints, the editing of the site, the collaboration - but a lot of the information has been lost. These images are interesting because they convey that. There’s an urgency, a searching for something that has been removed. 

[thethoughtnetwork]

Looking back at what was the installation before lockdown. 

[thethoughtnetwork]

Thought Atoms drifting by - this software allows me to keep that collaborative, open exchange with the audience who view my work. They will be in control of the Thought Atoms. Interesting how it has come full circle. Now I just have to store information in them. 

[thethoughtnetwork]

I’m thinking about the information that I need to put into my virtual (testspace) diagram, and my initial path was about keeping that archive of thoughts, feelings, imagery, information that I had digested in order to be here. However, I now see that there’s so much of it, it would have to be either filtered or set aside elsewhere (like on here). This made me think, that when I was engaging in ‘testspace’ it was live? It was about connections being made, unfolding thoughts, the binding of the past, present and future. In an ideal world, this would be live and interactive, but that is for another day. 

With this idea in mind, I could have questions or thoughts that remain with me now. I am still thinking about the internet, the immaterial, the diagram, thought to matter. I will test these short snippets of thoughts/information, and review it with someone other than me. 

[thethoughtnetwork]

Testing out some interesting software - an alternative to a linear type blog. Not sure about how complex it is, but trial and error will help with that. The colours feel a little too science based for me, I think I might experiment with monochromes and for the spheres to be a little more densely populated.

In these paintings I was kind of keeping matter alive within my networks. Its very easy to shift everything online, work digitally and exist in a virtual personality. I thought it was important to visualise the internet, or the virtual departure of thought, on a flat plane, utilising material that embed your fingertips and feel lively.

Today I am reviewing what this means to me now. Do I re-make this to fit a virtual body? I’m thinking about making a collage inspired by this process of being and becoming (online), maybe incorporating this challenging idea of thoughts being lost in the internet?

A lost thought in the internet?
