They built friction and tables

Nelson writes of "They built friction and tables" that "the organizers of the Electronic Media/Spaces of Encounter Conference at the Centro GAM in Santiago de Chile asked me to create an artwork/digital poem in response to the papers and presentations. I often find theory and its heavy words, thick descriptions, twisting and self-congratulatory to be painful, at odds with my own creative wanderings. So, I created a series of video artworks, recording my marking up, rethinking, poetically destroying/tagging other's abstracts. Here you will find a tumble of phrases, clanging and bouncing and falling works, available by double clicking the images. Play, watch and be lost." -- Jason Nelson
