Missed out on the twitter accounts of the road trip?

There will be an artists' book devoted to it! Stay tuned where you can catch such gems as our day in Gallup, New Mexico:




Why are going 5mph?!?!!? I can see gravel pieces individually!!! Says Nancy 7:04 PM Jul 2nd

Gallup cemetery is amazing and needs some terminix/pest control. 7:23 PM Jul 2nd

N just got excited that Gallup has a bookstore and then we realized the word adult was missing from the sign. 7:28 PM Jul 2nd

Gallup looks as if a vegetarian will be starving this evening. 7:31 PM Jul 2nd

Does anyone know anyone in Gallup we can stay with? They must be OCD. 7:56 PM Jul 2nd

Gallup is so horrifying we can no longer Twitter anything for the evening. Finding a drink to recover. 7:57 PM Jul 2nd




Nancy lost two in a row and now she is ordering a third in an attempt to compete. 8:45 PM Jul 2nd

Damn her for ordering two more drinks. 8:46 PM Jul 2nd

We're trying to create a foggy drunk haze so we can't see the bugs & dog food when we get back to the room 8:49 PM Jul 2nd

I can't believe it!! No wait I can... Jacinda wimps out ... Lame! 8:52 PM Jul 2nd

Taxi 9:39 PM Jul 2nd

Nancy brought the Lysol and the chlorox bleach wipes just for places like our motel room tonight. 9:41 PM Jul 2nd




Apparently we have three more hours of stalling at this hideous chain restaurant until we can return to that motel room. 9:43 PM Jul 2nd

And today is the only day this trip we will be twittering this much. We just did this to give everyone way too much information. 9:45 PM Jul 2nd

TO OR NOT TO (image: how it all started)


tweeking to twittering is more like it. my love hate relationship with all things TECHNOLOGY really are pushed with this blow by blow account of daily life. BUT then again the details of daily life are also very interesting. thinking of twittering as a list of artful events of the everyday is how i am approaching this new format.

WHY TWITTER: the very idea!

the idea that these works are removed from the general public, remote, costly to visit, difficult to get to, and my desire to make them in some way more accessible.

the idea that these works are represented in texts as a unchanging work of art. (there are no updates, space and time stand still) i wanted to explore how this image in my mind is not the reality in which this work exists. In fact, this work is in a constant state of change because of time and location. i wanted to present their current state. represent that things move, grow, change. because of the instability of these works within the landscape i am interest in that relationship to the process of life. these works have a life that parallel life in general.

the idea that this journey is about the journey and not what we are desiring to see. because whatever it is that i am desiring to see. (which is what has been presented in texts for so long) in fact does not exist. how does this also parallel with what we think and expect of this grand adventure. perhaps it is not so grand. perhaps the in between is the more grand of all these things. the moments that are not documented as the true monumental.

the idea of the monumental and having the documentation and conversation of the things that perhaps are seen as insignificant (conversation, food, laughing, jokes, small details that are easily passed over and forgotten, table clothes, smells, dogs, people, names)

the idea that through twitter there is an ongoing list of these happenings that are also many times the moment of art. and wanting those to be documented, seen. 

the idea that i love to list, function daily with lists and the record of such a list.
