I have more capacitors I salvaged from street trash than 'all this person posses'
I see a unfortunate homogeneity of subject matter
There is a wide breadth of cultures and forms of knowledge and expression in the world
I hope to involve as much of it in my life as possible
Before taking a look at this I would encourage anyone to look into Michael Landy's Break Down[0][1][2], where the artist first cataloged and then destroyed everything he owned (except for a pair of overalls) including his vintage saab and all of his correspondence. That work at least has the weight of a real gesture. The linked work seems (generously) fairly banal by comparison. [0] https://www.artangel.org.uk/projec…
I'm interested in the four identical toques in different colors. Minimalism certainly doesn't seem to be the goal - why are there four? Is it a collection of designs that have earned their love? Are they really nice toques? Can we infer something about the owner's gender (probably bald, probably male)? Or their location (far north?) How committed to hipsterism is this guy? The "Raw denim jeans" - 4 pairs in varying s…
> why are there four? To coordinate with different outfits? I mean I don't care, I only have the one unadorned black one, but I can see where someone else might. (I also live in Baltimore, which is not so very far north. Anywhere temperate, a toque can be a handy thing to have - although we more often call them knit caps, down here. Nor am I bald; you don't need a shiny head to need something keeping it warm.) I don'…

Does involving that stuff in your life require owning it? You could have a capacitor junk box at your local hacker space, for example.
i also think it unnecessary for someone to have access to junked capacitors
it was mentioned in response to the phrasing utilising 'all' which to me implied a preference for fewer things.. too many things would render the exercise of documenting it 'all' improbable.. and I was trying to express my own opinion of content stead numerosity when living in a comfortable yet clutter free environment
also, i failed to see a bank statement or a pile of cash or stacks of gold bullion, so this all feels editorialised anyway
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't see a computer anywhere. I guess he has a friend uploading the images or he uses a public computer?
