PowerPointing™ Your Creative Medium Potential: I

‘Universal Time: An Executive Summary’ (2012)
Alexander Provan (Triple Canopy)

PowerPoint commissioned as part of Global Art Forum_6

Who are we? How do the standardization of experience and the rationalization of society act as limiting and liberating forces? Why is it so difficult to model water graphically? What are tools good for? How does one locate the transcendent in compression? Can karaoke be a form of pure, unmediated communication? Is the 3D bar-graph the ultimate technology? Yes and no.

An exhibition of Alexander Provan’s work, “Popular Legacy,” will be on view at the Centro Cultural Montehermoso in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, from July 13 until September 30. With Triple Canopy, he is organizing “Future Perfect,” a series of workshops and discussions in Sarajevo, Bosnia from June 21 until July 6, to culminate in the publication of a book of the same name.
