About ( nula.cc )
I have always found it difficult to clearly articulate what this project
is. To my way of thinking, there is a proper reluctance to focus sharply
on its boundaries. Certain phrases come to mind when I consider the
question “What is it?” for my own purposes: an open portfolio, a
collection of works-in-progress, a fascicle of digital artifacts, a kind
of diary, a mediature, which is to say, a form of literature admitting
all digital media among its chapters, paragaphs, figures, and various
expressions.
Many aspects of this project have evolved over the years, but there has
been a steadfastness to its first conception: that it is a series of
filecasts — a broadcasting of digital artifacts — and so it carries on
as such. There are recursions; some filecasts are playlists of other
filecasts. There are discernible threads connecting certain filecasts,
while excluding others. There are versions, rejections (filecasts
removed from access), and complete reworkings; and there are filecasts
that use previous filecasts as source material.
And so,
The project ( nula.cc ) is the brainchild of intermedia artist Lloyd
Dunn, a founding member of the Tape-beatles, and editor and publisher of
the zines Photostatic and Retrofuturism during the 1980s and 90s. It
comprises hours of sound works, hundreds of photographs and videos,
numerous texts, which often reflect the artist‘s frequent travels, but
are always intended to reveal his esthetic thinking.
