Everything that I know.

In this ongoing project, I am attempting to record all of the factual knowledge that resides in my own memory. I record the information directly from memory without the aid of any reference materials. The information is then classified and recorded into the corresponding category book(s).

Genogram Constructions

Each piece in this series begins with a celebrity commonly associated as being part of a famous family. From the starting point, I draw a family tree of that person, including both real and fictional familial relationships. This genogram is drawn completely from my memory and ends when I can think of no more relationships.

Friends

This series is based on my facebook friends. I am in the process of creating a drawing of each of my over 300 friends on facebook. Each drawing is based on their profile pictures, and consists soley of text. The text is all the information that I know about that person.

Movie Posters

In this new series, I start by writing a description of what happens in the movie from memory, including as much detail as I can remember (plot, costume, setting, characters etc). Then the text is laid over the movie’s theatrical poster, so that the poster is only seen through the text of the description.

ETIK Films

In this series of films, I have recorded myself performing every line that I know from memory for a particular movie. Each line is performed based on my recollection of how the line exists in the movie, including the dialogue, pacing, etc. The resulting audio is then superimposed over the original video from the movie.

Geographies

Two-dimensional representations of interior and exterior spaces rendered from my memory.

Movie Quote Drawings

This series is the precursor to ETIK Films. Here i have created graphical representations of every line that i know from a particular movie. Each quote exists on an individual ray that extends from a circle whose diameter is dependent on the quantity of lines that I know from that movie.

Fact Drawings

Each drawing in this series is based on a fact gleaned from the volumes of Everything that I know.
