Thylias clears everything up in your head when you talk to her one on one and yet makes the world even more infinite at the same time. Josh called her a genius and he was not crazy in saying that. The way she speaks and how excited and open she is to the entire world is the most beautiful thing I've heard.

Our conversation floated from a comment Josh made about not wanting the things he works on to end up in his mom's basement. We were talking about the constant need to make things and the problem of finding a place to put them once they floated back into your life from exhibitions. This lead to a comment about how we're expected to make something tangible for art class even if we aren't ready in our own personal process (which was a relief to hear straight from a professor's mouth).

We talked about digital work not taking up much space. I have my third hard drive (I got it for xmas, it's 1 TB) and Thylias has about 25 (she recommended the Bus Driven G Technology brand). Then she told me a story of the time she was working on the BEST thing she'd ever made and her hard drive crashed. She lots 170GB of work and never remade it. She believes you always have to be willing to let go of what you're working on because you never know when you're going to lose it.

Also in our conversation was the documentary Mac Heads which lead to a man with a Mac museum (as seen in preview) and the Atari in my basement where all the stuff is piling up from my family.




Somewhere in there was a long discussion about choreography (and in my head I realized that's why I like editing video so much). This whole conversation was quiet and made tons of sense. It ended and I felt so empowered and excited about new ideas and doing a million things.

I have also decided I really want to choreograph to "Digital" by Joy Division
