this site is both ‘art ‘ and ‘information’ in that it can tell you about what 8 does, at the same time it is created and tended near daily, in a deliberate, ritualised process of re-construction and re-creation, according to mood, season, context, a durational work without duration - a ‘technology’ of the every day, towards a poor technology, in the manner of a daily tea ceremony or tending of a zen garden, for your pleasure...
each page is unique, constructed with minor compositional variation as well as built in random processes: spot the ‘acidents’ and deliberate imperfections...
