>>>> Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began January 1, 1995. A
round-the-clock posting of sequenced postmodern photographs by Brad Brace.
The 12-hour-ISBN-JPEG Project --------------- BEGAN JANUARY 1, 1995
Classic Postmodern Photos... posted/mailed every 12 hours... perfect trans-avant-garde art!
A continuous sequence of original photos... authentic greyscale... compelling experience.
An extension of the printed ISBN-Book series... critically acclaimed... imagery is gradually acquired, selected and sequenced over time... [ see ftp.netcom.com/pub/bb/bbrace/books ]
>> Promulgated, de-centered, ambiguous, homogeneous, de-composed...
>> Multi-faceted, excentric, oblique, obsessive, obscure, opaque...
Every 12 hours, another!... view them, re-post `em, save `em, trade `em, print `em, even sell them...
Here`s how:
~ Set www-links to -> ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/bb/bbrace/bbrace.html Look for the 12-hr-icon. Heavy traffic may require you to specify files more than once! Anarchie, Fetch, TurboGopher...
~ Download from -> ftp.netcom.com /pub/bb/bbrace Remember to set tenex or binary. Get 12hr.jpeg
~ E-mail -> If you only have access to email, then you can use FTPmail to do essentially the same thing. Send a message with a body of 'help' to the server address nearest you: * mailto:ftp-request@netcom.com mailto:ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com mailto:ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu mailto:ftpmail@cs.uow.edu.au mailto:ftpmail@ftp.uni-stuttgart.de mailto:ftpmail@grasp.insa-lyon.fr mailto:ftpmail@src.doc.ic.ac.uk * mailto:bitftp@pucc.bitnet mailto:bitftp@plearn.bitnet mailto:bitftp@dearn.bitnet

~ Mirror-sites requested! Archives too! The latest new jpeg will always be named, 12hr.jpeg * Perl program to mirror ftp-sites/sub-directories: src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/mirror *
~ Postings to usenet groups: alt.binaries.pictures.12hr alt.binaries.pictures.misc *
~ This interminable, relentless sequence of imagery began in earnest on January 1, 1995. The basic structure of the project has been over fifteen years in the making. While the specific sequence of photographs has been presently orchestrated for more than 5 years worth of 12-hour postings, I will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the ongoing publication with additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour posting is like the turning of a page; providing ample time for reflection, interruption, and assimilation.
~ The sites listed above are currently active. They also contain some information on other cultural projects.
~ A very low-volume mailing list for announcements and occasional commentary related to this project has been established. Send e-mail to: mailto:listserv@netcom.com /subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg
-- This project has been largely funded in advance. Some opportunities still exist for financially assisting the publication of a CD-ROM archive of all the 12hr-ISBN-JPEG imagery.-- Jpeg and gif are types of image files.
