Jimmy Langer Between Seneca and a Dead Elephant

This work is an exercise in mapping experience, and by extension exploring the possibilities of entropy as mark-making.

The accompanying text is a non-linear narrative – a documentation – written in direct response to a single day’s worth of experience. Every physical act and momentary intake of information is connected with a state of mind and memory that works as a collection of absurd ‘coordinates’, the kind of map that might be applied to the order and chaos of a singular mundane experience.

I edit the story, for the viewer’s sanity and mine. I then respond to this narrative with visual interpretations that seek to replicate the motions of data and the abstract connection inherent in the entropy and confluences of information. In a way, visualising the information. In another way, slightly mad cartography.
