  The Library of Rhizomatic Activity is a growing collection of books found in personal, public and institutional collections worldwide. Originally each book in the collection is marked with a bookplate bearing a description much like the one you are reading now. Currently each book in the collection dons a custom made reflective dust-jacket before returning to the shelf, table or mantlepiece of its respective owner. Each dust-jacket has a special quality. When photographed with a flash, the book appears to be consumed in a burst of bright white light, and dissappears from the photograph. The Library of Rhizomatic Activity includes slim volumes in distant cities, small towns and neighbourhoods, and is being established without moving a single book.

Photography is an indexical practice ot unlike casting. A photograph is always about where the camera is pointing, just as a cast refers to the original object. I pursue photography as a lins-based practice in which the subject presides over technique. A communal jam space in Atlin BC, known by its users as The Secret Spot, is a spece of production. The Secret Sopt is a place reserved for experimentation and collective activity. My interest in music is analogous to my interest in the production and control of anarchic energy. Here, the pursuit of freedom assunes a musical and technical form. Instruments and equipment (the useful and the useless), provide an entropic lesson on appreciating depreciation. Consider the relative thermal natures of heaven and hell; the disturbed electromagnetic field and its attendant auurora borealis; a room up north awash in technology; representations of heaven or hell in musical genres; the cast of colourful lights across an acoustic tile ceiling. Each element has the potential to become its opposite.
