DECLARATION OF THE ARTIST

I am the one and I am not ashamed. I am the one that stenciled my hand on the cave wall 50,000 years ago.  Yes me, and I am not ashamed.  No, I am not a descendent of the one.  I am the one.  I am the the one that saw the relationships between the stones on the wall the the images in my memory.  I am the one that had that creative impulse/ thought/ bio-electrical connection that caused me to place my own image on the wall.  Yes, I am the one that created.  No, I was not reborn again with each generation.  I am continuous.  The math formula in my mind or genetic trait that matched the images on the wall with the images in my mind and caused me to create a new image on the wall has been continuous for 50,000 years.  I am the one and and I am not ashamed.  I am one.  I am continuous.  I am the creator and I am not ashamed.

 PRINT that Declaration of The Artist was made from.

In 1995 and 1996 I was merging poetry with other media.  Declaration of the Artist was made into a (hand pulled print) .  I also made it into a Performance Art Piece.  Click on the images below to see short video clips.  These clips are in Real Player format and require a Real Player.  Real Player is free on the internet.

THE HOLY GRAIL OF PERFORMANCE ART

This site is the Holy Grail of Performance Art.  It was performed at the "Pearl" in Dayton Ohio on March 12, 2006.  It has all the positive attributes of Performance Art.  It has mind manipulation, entertainment, deceit, poetry, unplanned audience interaction, audience participation.  It is dance. It is time Art (time is a very important intentional aspect of the performance).  It is a future predictor. A Prophet.  NOTE:  The site is in progress and will contain much more.  Currently it contains a real media video of the performance.  The resolution is poor because it was transferred to real media format (requires a free real player) so it will not take up so much net space.  It is the "Hell's Bullet" performance art piece. Hell's Bullet Performance  NOTE:  The video located above seems very slow to load.  A faster loading one (that probably doesn't require a real player) is located here Rock Me Armageddon 

THE PERFECT PERFORMANCE ART PIECE

The Red Queen  This is the Perfect Performance Art Piece because it involves combined multiple performances. It includes "Fred", the invisible performer. He is the Internet site that contains all the information, including video and still photographs. Any of the performances can stand alone or be combined in any manner to make a complete performance. This works because it is based on Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" Alice in the Garden of Live Flowers. This gives them all a common root. Index for the performances, video, still photos, "Fred's" stand alone part, creative records and alternate performance www.RedQueenPrinciple.com   Performed 28 October 2006 in Dayton Ohio. Follow the links to get the full effect. If all the pages of this performance are printed out it will be more than 30 pages. The video is about 5 minutes long.
