This web is my online archive.
I hope the materials archived here will intertwine like a net, forming a thicket-like structure.

The structure of this web:

  1. This web documents practices related to images. It consists of two layers.1
    1. This web records workshop practices—ideas put into practice through workshops.
      1. All workshops aim to explore the concept of Potential Images, borrowed from Oulipo's ‘Potential Literature’.2 The purpose of these practices is to enable images to reveal their own potential through constraint-based attempts.
      2. I actively embrace the Oulipian stance, though I sometimes apply it loosely. What is always important to me is the new.
    2. This web documents the outcomes of personal projects (sometimes commissioned work)—often alongside the process and its trial and error.
      1. Of course, the generation and development of motifs during the process are always sporadic.3 Therefore, a complete record is impossible. Yet, despite omissions and exaggerations, I imagine the various pairs of connections that a record of the process might create. The concepts that follow will give birth to new motifs.

  2. This web documents what lay behind the practice. It consists of three layers.
    1. This web also documents the methods of practice.
      1. Every practice has a method of execution. It exists between the creator's intention and the outcome. The method mediates the countless connections between intention and result.
    2. This web also documents my thoughts.
      1. Every practice begins with a few minor ideas. Thoughts resonate with each other and grow in scale.
    3. This web also records (quotes) a glossary.
      1. It records the original text of quoted information along with its surrounding context. Every thought has roots.

  1. The practices can be verified in the works. ↩

  2. See the Lipo: First Manifesto. ↩

  3. See the 11th item among Sentences on Conceptual Art. The statements by Sol LeWitt cited here separate the motif (idea) of the work from the production process, establishing an explicit hierarchy between the two. However, I prioritize the separation itself. The novelty created by the serendipity of the production process is always intriguing. ↩
