Best Spent
(2010)

This project relies on an extensive series of quotes to contextualise the videos as well as simple descriptors. It revolves around the idea of what your time is best spent doing, which at times becomes more about what you spend your time doing, which is not necessarily the same thing. I think the use of the nine thumbnails is interesting as it gives you a lot of information about what makes up the content of the work quickly, without needing to load plenty of videos, and you then quickly see that most of the material is domestic, suburban. The keyword links shift over time so depending on where you start, and of course where you go, if you spend a few minutes you'll find yourself in other clouds. This helps give this particular project a bit more texture.
