Is discharge Dada? No, it is not. Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Dada..
Is discharge Fluxus?
No, it is not.
Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Fluxus.
Is discharge art for intellectuals? No, discharge is for anyone and everyone who appreciates creativity in all its myriad forms. Be it static visual, audio or moving image; the written word or the deconstructed, non-linear form. The spoken word and noise.
All creativity is the springboard for discharge. It highjack’s a multitude of genres and disciplines and transposes them onto the internet. discharge is electronically transmitted art, be it via blog, myspace or whatever format possible, it can also be produced and seen in classic formats.
The discharge Chapbook. The discharge Building by Parts book. discharge has no rules. All contributors to discharge are responsible adults. discharge has no leaders although it has an elected body of rotating editors who oversee rather than dictate the flow of the group.
The aim of discharge is to profile creative people and to do away with the pretension of the art world.
Everyday people creating art everyday to an exceptional quality.
Art by barrow boys and girls.
discharge is international.

Apologies for the pun but your videos always leave me with that 'haunted' feeling.
This clip really stood out because, recently, I went out with my video & camera to revisit remembered places in this tiny corner of the world (an inner-city suburb) I have inhabited for over 30 years.
I spent the day with ghosts and couldn't disrespect them by photographing or taking vids of where they had lived and where they had died.
I don't think I feel the need to record that which I wanted to capture. Watching this clip, although it was only taken from a single point in a single street/place has strangely placated me. All destinations, points in time, intentions and the fact of their being gone (but still in existence so long as I have memory) are expressed.
A wonderful piece of melancholia, love and hope. Like life, itself, they shouldn't fit together. You see? Even old dogs can be taught new tricks.
I am 40 and I hope that I
can be taught some new tricks.
Thanks for watching my work
and reacting to it with depth
and feeling.
Considering that I like your
writing, I anticipate that
you can produce some images
which have equal quality.
P.
I can't breathe...
Ahem! It's like you caught a glimpse of intersecting parallel worlds, and that sound was sucking my breath away.
A powerful piece. I really like it.
v. good!
