This day marks a significant milestone. It's Dec. 5th, 2024, and Recordism is 40 years old today! In spite of the miserable situation we currently find ourselves in (being evicted in the middle of a housing crisis in a city that harbours nothing but extreme hostility toward low-income people), we will take some time to reflect upon and celebrate 40 years of art, adventure, and friendships.
Recordism will continue!

A note on the animation: The animated gif included with this post is a clip from my Super-8, experimental collage film "Combination Head" from 1986. It combines two early animation experiments - a broken, porcelain figurine moving behind a bare lightbulb, and a bed with animated sheets and pillow. It's significant as an early Recordist artwork but even more so because the bed animation was created by W.A.Davison and G.C.Denton on Dec. 5, 1984, the same day that Recordism came into existence!
