The crash heard around my head
I was synching my ipod to my laptop. Somewhere along the line a glitch happened that sent 12 days of mp3 to my desktop which the hard drive (outside of Itunes) couldn't handle. Finder wouldn't load but everything else would still work but it was extremely slow. It wouldn't allow me to get back to a startup screen, just that crazing spinning thing that Macs give when they are "confused". So I had to reload the software which means I lost a lot of the material I had been collecting during my residency..even losing the blog entry I had been working on for this entry. All photos, computer sketeches, 12 days of music and some sound work is all gone! Luckly I have most of the information I've been developing here and for future projects on a flash drive and I know my music (which I'll have to reload whenever I return to Detroit) is in good hands with my friend Atiba back in Detroit. So I'm taking this as a way to start over....gain a new focus and change the scope of my time here in Europe. The last few days in Rotterdam have been a little strange. Weird things happening, disappering and find this a very hard place to create in. So in the next few days I'm going to make a major change to my plans here in Europe, start taking more photos and developing the projects at hand. More to come.
