thoughts following last class

i wish to find those possible ways to exist as an artist which don't necessarily go through the galleries and museums.
some questions that came up re (also in other classes): is art a practice and gallery the essential space to trace and discuss it; visual documentation as a piece by itself, in relation to the original piece and its importance outside the gallery; the significance of authorship and recognition of the artist.

---

currently i don't have a specific person in mind, which i want to document. i would like to give a random aspect to finding this person - not based only on parameters that reflect my typical interests. i may not limit myself to my physical environment and am interested in documenting a person in the virtual space. i like text the most as a mean of documentation and intuitively prefer it over image and sound.
