(Keith Haring Journal) 

“...The computer has totally changed the whole concept of what composes and defines a “picture space.” The whole relation between the creator and the viewer has changed. The relationship between the physical gesture of drawing and the resultant image has changed....” 

[6/2025: Now you can swap out the word “computer” with “AI”. But new technologies don’t really change an artist’s practice. Warhol made one of the first computer artworks in 1986 and it didn’t change his work, nor did it change Haring’s. There have always been new advancements in tools and implements, but they don’t undermine what an artist is already doing].

Dream: I was in a small town taking photographs. All I had was a small point-and-shoot and couldn’t get it to zoom or focus. All the images were junk as I scrolled through them. There was art everywhere, even in a small grocery store I went into. They were large un-stretched canvases. The paint strokes were sparse and loosely expressed--looking more like Arabic script. 

To Loop for a bit of photo shooting.
