The weblog of Vlad Spears: musician, science fiction hero, Max/MSP/Jitter gangsta, Daevl incarnate. Currently engaged in fast action on slow sculpture, I have an ongoing love affair with animism as an approach to creativity and an affinity for all things automata, gridded or digital.

2Second(fuse) is:

A focusing mechanism for my many endeavors and interests

I’m highly interested in process and conscious design, so my intent is to make 2Second(fuse) an evolving mind-map, charting my course from past into future using present as pivot point.

An artistic process

Counter-balancing the above, “the map is not the territory.”  I’ll be using my continually evolving map as an aid in exploring the actual terrain, digging into the details of creation and growth.  The act of writing it down is a crucial part of thinking it through to manifestation.  Upon manifestation, an artist returns, even if only subconsciously, to a piece’s continuation.  It’s natural, a part of the process, so I’ll be using this weblog to keep the process moving between “finished” works.  A quote attributed to Da Vinci summarizes it perfectly, “Art is never finished, only abandoned.”  By fixing and linking my thoughts in whole cloth I’m cycling forward with all of them.  I’m abandoning abandonment.

A springboard for ideas and communication

An idea I seem to mention often in my conversations with “sovereign” individuals: you can live your life in a way which may increase understanding and acceptance of your actions and make the world a better place for you and like-minded people to live in.  If you don’t talk to the wind, how can you ever expect it to answer back?

A sandbox

I’m an evolver, so count on 2Second(fuse) changing.  I won’t break any permalinks, but I’ll be nudging CSS schemes/formating/visuals around, adding areas, breaking/fixing/dive-bombing/fixing the right way.  01 April 2005 is simply the starting point.  I’m still cogitating some larger decisions: to add comments or not to add comments, perhaps roll in older entries from previous incarnations, image and sonic galleries, podcasting, randomization… 

To suggest, comment or just say “hello,” drop me an email.  I’m particularly fond of suggestions and comments with a nice “hello” wrapped around them.

Hello!
