> > > > Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A
`round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery by Brad Brace. 
The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable; it
suspends identity, relations and history. 


                       The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project        
                       -----------------------------
                          began December 30, 1994


  Classic Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed every 12 hours... perfect
trans-avant-garde memes for the 90`s! A continuum of minimalist masks in
the face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphors for the
everyday...

	A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random sequence of
imagery...  genuine gritty, greyscale...  corruptable, compact,
collectable and compelling experience. The voluptuousness of the grey
imminence: the art of making the other disappear.

  An extension of the printed ISBN-Book series... critically acclaimed... 
imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced over time...
ineluctable, vertiginous connections.

                              [ see ftp.netcom.com/pub/bb/bbrace/books ]

KEYWORDS: >> Promulgated, de-centered, ambiguous, homogeneous,
de-composed...  >> Multi-faceted, excentric, oblique, obsessive, obscure,
opaque...  >> Personal, permeable, reckless, provocative, poetic, plural,
perverse, potent, prophetic, pathological...  >> Evolving, eclectic,
egregious, exciting, entertaining, entropic, erotic, indigenous,
entrancing, enduring... 

	Every 12 hours, another!...  view them, re-post `em, save `em,
trade `em, print `em, even publish them... 

Here`s how:

~ Set www-links to ->  http://www.teleport.com/~bbrace/bbrace.html
  Look for the 12-hr-icon. Heavy traffic may require you to specify files
  more than once! Anarchie, Fetch, TurboGopher... 
  Or -> ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/bb/bbrace/bbrace.html

~ Download from ->  ftp.pacifier.com  /pub/users/bbrace
  Download from ->  ftp.netcom.com  /pub/bb/bbrace
  Download from ->  ftp.teleport.com  /users/bbrace
  * Remember to set tenex or binary. Get 12hr.jpeg

~ E-mail -> If you only have access to email, then you can use FTPmail to
  do essentially the same thing. Send a message with a body of 'help' to the
  server address nearest you:

~ Mirror-sites requested! Archives too! 
  The latest new jpeg will always be named, 12hr.jpeg
  Average size of images is only 45K.

  Perl program to mirror ftp-sites/sub-directories:
  src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/mirror

~ Postings to usenet groups:
  alt.binaries.pictures.12hr
  alt.binaries.pictures.misc
  alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.misc
 
* * Ask your system's news-administrator to carry these groups.


~ This interminable, relentless sequence of imagery began in earnest on
December 30, 1994. The basic structure of the project has been over twenty
years in the making. While the specific sequence of photographs has been
presently orchestrated for more than 7 years` worth of 12-hour postings, I
will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the ongoing publication with
additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour posting is like the
turning of a page; providing ample time for reflection, interruption, and
assimilation.

~ The sites listed above also contain information on other cultural
projects and sources. 

~ A very low-volume, moderated mailing list for announcements and
occasional commentary related to this project has been established. Send
e-mail to:  listserv@netcom.com /subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg

This project has not received government art-subsidies. Some
opportunities still exist for financially assisting the publication of a
CD-ROM archive of all the 12hr-ISBN-JPEG imagery. Other supporters receive
rare copies of the first three web-offset printed ISBN-Books.
