Hi.  I’m writing PR materials.  That must be why I want to die.

FOUR CHAMBERS is a new group of British photographic artists, and I make particular note, in their copy for their new magazine:

Somewhere between an exhibition catalogue and a art zine, Four Chambers Issue 1 is an attempt to make physical what only exists in a digital reality.

There it is again.  Eruption of the digital into the physical.  (one ref)

Longread of the day is PAUL, a piece by Matt Fraction about a guy in his art school.  Which, yeah, I know, but, seriously, read it.  Everyone’s hopes, fears, dreams and fantasies about college/university in one post:

This was an art school. And amongst the rest of us, Paul was the freak.

There was something else I was going to mention, but I’ve forgotten it, so here’s a photo from Jan Chipchase, currently in Japan:
