12hr ISBN-JPEG Project
USA
If you have been online
for a while -- even for just a short while -- chances
are good that you've heard of the 12hr and 24hr ISBN-JPEG projects.
The project was launched on the World Wide Web of the Internet in
late 1994. It continues even now, making it one of the longest
running art projects of its kind.
At two images per day for almost three years... we're coming
close to 2,000 images posted to date. And Brad intends to keep
it going for another four years and perhaps even longer. Make
no small plans...
"...posted/mailed every 12 hours... perfect
trans-avant-garde memes for the 90`s! A continuum
of minimalist masks in the face of catastrophe; conjuring up
transformative metaphors for the everyday..."

"A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random
sequence of imagery... genuine gritty, greyscale... corruptable,
compact, collectable and compelling convergence. The
voluptuousness of the grey imminence: the art of making
the other disappear."
Artist Brad Brace
has managed to strike a chord with his idea to continuously
publish new photographic images on the Web (and into the public
domain) at regular 12 and 24 hour intervals. Is it the concept,
the scale, the sheer ambition of it all that captures our
imagination? Look in and see for yourself...

The ISBN-JPEG projects
are in the words of the artist, "classic hypermodern
imagery", and perhaps an important contribution to creative
exploration and future direction on the Web. Way to go,
Brad!
