At a recent exhibition of some of John Latham's archives, there was a small blue piece of card or paper with the following:
art and technology (1) 1970
make a device that does less than any known amount
There are several things I like about this.
It seems to me to be a perfect synthesis of art and technology.
Impossible, yet will be achieved.
I like less, rather than more.
It leaves me curious about 'art and technology (2)'
I like that this is written down, like an every day 'to do' list.
The very writing it down is the start of this task. And because it is written, it must be completed.
