Q: What are some of your formal concerns in regards to photography?

A: I don’t own a guitar but my mind can hear songs. I know. It’s weird. I think it has to be a concern with subject over style if that’s what you’re asking. I really don’t have much experience with film. A lot of these images were captured digitally because it’s a lot quicker and cheaper. That has to be one of the best things about digital media. Anyone can be anything. Except people like me. I can be no one no-where.

Q: How random is this supposed to play? Sometimes I get the uncanny sense that there is some hidden meaning among these pictures.

A: Right, that’s one of the coolest things. It forces you to make connections between these famous people from Bapudi. Some of those images might remind you of the same day they happened, at a Bapudi show or what have you. It’s about memory and perhaps the convenience of thought providing narrative or logical structure over seemingly random daily events. In a sense [nervous laughter]. I mean sometimes I say these things and I wonder if it means anything to people or if I’m just intentionally obscure to seem like some sort of nickel and dime postmodern intellectual. Does it make sense to you?

Q: Oh I think it makes sense.

A: Good.

Q: Maybe if people haven’t seen the website they may not have a clue about what you’re saying, but most people who I know who have seen it confess to sitting in front of it for long periods of time. They seem to think it’s interesting.

A: That is interesting. I mean, it’s interesting to hear that. What are some of the things they say?

Q: Oh they think its weird. They say it’s funny. Hey, whose interview is this? [laughter]

A: I’m sorry [laugh]. You’ll have to excuse me. That’s just me. Also--someone mentioned this to me this morning, but we're all very well trained at staring at televisions. We know to keep staring at it, it's only second nature, so that's a good explanation, don't you think?

Q: What was it like working with Bapudi? I understand you’re the Design team’s lead graphic supervisor now, am I correct?

A: Yes… you did your homework. Bapudi’s probably the single most influential organization in the world of contemporary art today. There’s always a lot of pressure to get things done a certain way but beyond that they pretty much let you do anything you want. Do you smell that?

Q: Oh. How much do you get paid at this job?

A: Uhm. Well that’s a private question now. Why do you want to know?

Q: Well first of all because I’m the interviewer. I ask the questions so I won’t answer the one you just asked. Second of all, you’re hot. I need to know beforehand if your cashflow can keep up with my personal flair and style, baby. You know, I hold your career in my hands. You should really consider how much respect I am due and how you treat me. A bad interview could be the end of a promising career.

A: Jesus. That's crazy. What’s gotten into you? This shouldn’t be like this… I really think we should end now. I think I’m feeling a little sick, I can barely think.

Q: Uh oh…. Oh no. Please, I don’t know. I’m sorry?

A: Yeah, ok. I think you’re right about now. We need to go.

[Ed. note: We apologize for the unfinished interview. It was later disclosed an experimental gas had been accidently leaked into the facility, leading to an emergency evacuation and nearly 6 hours of intensive clean-up by an inhouse containment crew trained in hazardous materials rescue. The chemical compound known as GBR-23 causes sudden seizures, increased heartbeat, a lack of cohesive thought, sweaty palms, and eventually the total collapse of all vital life functions. We are fortunate that no one was injured during the evacuation and that the interviewer and interviewee are fully recovered and resting well on a shared vacation in the Bahamas.]
