the hover project.
a common year in poem.prose.and image.
The Hover Project is an investigation into the liberties and terrors of wiki-history on the telling and inventing of narratives. It is a sandbox for written and image based works which will challenge the backward, forward, and sideways-ness of history.
The impetus for this project is an amalgamation of Dos Passos' USA Trilogy and a website based on the work of On Kawara (onKawara update). Both works explore the experience of history and time as a fragmentary object.
Submitted works will be reviewed between five minutes and god knows how long. Potential research resources are listed on the links page. Accepted works will appear on the calendar in relation to date. No years are allowed unless they come in teams, gaggles, or murders.
