This is the season of deadlines. This and mid-September. But this one is worse. March 31st is an arbitrary date where a bunch of us have agreed to close our books before opening them up again. And that means things get very inflexible for a while. There are also thesis deadlines and grant deadlines. Systems of organization have been setup and now we must abide by them. But as Brian Massumi describes in his book "Parables for the Virtual", games are only interesting because there exists some that dance around the rules, not breaking them but inhabiting the fringes and giving themselves and their teams a slight but good enough advantage. If there were no rules there would be no fringes and no clear winners. I'm finding this out.
I'm heading out to San Rafael tomorrow morning to visit Kerner. I'm totally excited to see a large scale production studio. And I hope to learn something new about stereo rigs.
While I'm away the magical deadline will pass and I will breathe easier on April fool's.
A song for this post.
