Myspace embodies in miniature what the web attains toward in general. Truly, myspace is as close as we are ever going to get to Marshall McLuhan's vision of a global village. Personally, I enjoy roaming this village that is both permanent and ephemeral. While profiles physically disappear from myspace, imagery potentially never does. Ambrosia: Digital Mummification plays off this, sampling/animating the image of a stunningly beautiful woman named Ambrosia who recently removed her profile from myspace. Ambrosia: Digital Mummification is a deeply textured web animation, composed of 264 frames. A high-speed Internet connection is absolutely required and I recommend using Firefox as your browser. Even with a high-speed connection, due to its density, the animation may initially run at a jagged rate, lasting longer than its intended duration of just under 2 minutes and 10 seconds. What I have learned from posting other computer memory intensive animations is that they often need to play through once before running at their proper rate. I acknowledge this is awkward, but I find there is a positive side effect. For me as an artist working in a new medium, transparency and process are very much related. Showcasing the process is part of the art. That initial slower run-through of the animation brings the process of its creation into relief. I am presenting Ambrosia: Digital Mummification simultaneously on Illumination Gallery and my myspace page. I invite comments on the piece, which can be posted on myspace.
