       About
       ............................................................
       I "wrote" a review of Jeremy Baily's video installation /The
       Future of Television/. The review was published in KAPSULA
       Magazine in July 2014. I say "wrote" because the review is a
       collection of real and fake YouTube comments. In fact, the
       review is designed and presented as the comments section of
       one of Jeremy's YouTube videos. The real comments were found
       throughout Jeremy's channel. I selected comments that were
       angry, crude, funny, ironic, stupid, ignorant, and
       sincere. I shuffled these around and spliced in my own text
       reflecting, contrasting, and shaping various ideas about art
       making, online performance, digital environments, sincerity,
       and irony.
       
       The theme of this issue of KAPSULA was anger, and indeed
       there is a lot of anger towards artists like Jeremy
       Baily. There's also a lot of delightful joy, and I hoped to
       capture the strong polarities in his work: how he can be
       simultaneously loved and hated. With these strong emotions
       comes resilience too them, for those that submit themselves
       to these environments. Many years later as I look back on
       the writing and Jeremy's work, I'm just so amazed that he
       could be the clever, kind person I remember him to be in
       spite of the hate he faced online.
