“For more than a year I have used the ubiquitous sales and presentation program PowerPoint as an art medium. This book of images and essays also contains a DVD which plays five of these pieces accompanied by original music. The book itself contains a dozen new written pieces and a lot of beautiful (subjectively speaking) images from the PowerPoint pieces that feature plastic overlays, foldouts, and a whole lot more. But what is it about?

“It is about taking subjective, even emotional, information and presenting it in a familiar audio visual form using a medium in a way that is different and possibly better than what was intended. It is representing one thing by another thing, the other thing not the first thing and neither thing resembling the second thing.” From the artist.

Pinspot is a series of artist’s books that explore the printed page as an environment for unfettered creativity. A Pinspot book is an artist’s notebook, an area free of commercial restraints where artists can explore ideas, a printed multiple—anything but a catalogue. The artist may choose to use color images or only black and white, to collaborate with a writer or designer or to work alone, to incorporate text (anything from an artist’s statement to fiction or poetry) or let the images speak for themselves.

In Pinspot no.13, David Byrne Asks You: “WHAT IS IT?” This illustrated color volume folds out to a poster measuring 24×35”. Byrne’s photographs ask the viewers to guess what the abstracted images “really” are.
