It is 1984. I am lying in a railroad flat in SoHo with Michel Foucault. He writes (I read) ""We are in an epoch of simultaneity: we are in the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed. We experience the world less as something that develops through time (linear) and more as a network that connects points and intersects with its own skein ... "" It is 2007. I am sitting at my desk rearranging words at will, Foucault and my own, realizing that we are now, in a way that we were not then, living in his epoch. As someone whose working life started with film dangling in strips over bins that then had to be physically cut and taped, I have been affected by the changes developing technologies afford and that has caused both rupture and dislocation in my working and thinking processes. This is no small thing. It is radical. The rapidity of shifting visuals during any working session in present time physicalize notions of time in ways that had not before been possible. The digital image located in an information stream is entirely fluid. It lends itself to endless transformation.
