flux is language
by: jeremy hight
Short essay on how language is similar to meteorology in flux, shifts in form, greater depth and complexity than intitially visible and how the most eloquent text comes from beyond the basic tools of language, just as weather runs with flux, change and what is more complex than it seems. Text discusses why narrative and textual constructions have such great analog to flux and change that it is logical to construct non-traditional narratives that, in essence, are never "finished".

locative dissent
by: jeremy hight
This is a time, especially here in America of mass media outlets connected to lateral coroprate ownership and hence a greater intolerance of dissent, coupled with a president and administration that has been known publically to outright pressure media to back off on investigative journalism (like the washing post whistleblower on the wiretapping of u.s citizens). Protest are under reported or outright ignored and have followed the same paradigm and process for decades; the technology is available for dissent that is more immediate, permanent, organized and avalible to many to know what should be known.

ABOUT THE WRITER
Jeremy Hight invented locative spatial narrative in the first locative narrative project "34 north 118 west". His essay "Narrative Archaeology" was recently named one of the 4 primary texts in locative media in Leonardo alongside texts by Robert Smithson and Borges. He initially studied meteorology then switched to writing, art and music. He has done work with narrative connected to live weather changes in 25 cities, in text and image narratives edited by hourly earthquake data from sensors in the San Andreas fault, narratives of historical data composed on a map on a laptop with gps that trigger by satellite.
