recently i’ve been encountering the “problem” that is having a lot of creative energy and not knowing where to channel it. in general i do a lot of thinking and not a lot of producing, but since i finish the school year june 11 and have yet to find a summer job (um, if anyone in the san francisco bay area wants to a hire a shy 19 y/o design student with a resume that includes things like “art gallery intern” and “self-publishing graphic novelist” i am… available. i can wash dishes.) i thought i would start a project that i have been thinking about for the last couple of months.

space mag is a study in how the internet influences nonprofessional artists to create art, as well as the idea of “informal” art (that is, the idea of transient context-based art that isn’t created for exhibition). it is a generative magazine that works towards creating a dialog between different mediums and people, to be viewed as a web-based landscape of group thought process. it attempts to be, in that sense, a “living” work of art. issues are not time-constrained and are prompted initially by a quote/phrase (that is expected to be interpreted for contemporary art/living, not investigated from their original source) and continues to evolve as a stream of collective consciousness that is neither recyclable nor monumental.

I know what you mean. You feel inspired but you have no way to use it! It’s so annoying. usually I just paint or something (even though I suck at it).
wow, This sounds like my kind of thing, i’d love to see the first issue and possibly submit something.
you should submit something! the first issue will probably be “in process” for a while, meaning that we’ll be constantly adding submitted work to it, because that’s the idea behind the magazine. hopefully the beginnings of the first issue will be out once i get a little more work though
