Hey y’all. Here with some updates.
Join Me In The Break
I hinted in the previous newsletter that you could “join me” while I’m on break. Here’s a bit more about that:
Audio-visual.journal now includes an interactive experience called “Join Me In The Break,” which can be found through the entries page of the journal. This project comes from organizational tools I’ve been experimenting with and uses them to create a series of spaces that respond to the question: “what is a break, for audio-visual.journal”? Learn about what I’ve been up to the past couple months by clicking around, reading, listening, and however else you’re called to interact. In doing so, you make “the break” a shared experience.

This period of time has me remembering just how much research is a core part of how I do anything in my practice, so what I’m sharing is in hopes to highlight that.
For example, I’ve updated my bio:
“PARIS VINCENT is an artist and student of interdisciplinary practice whose work is centered on researching audiovisual aesthetics and culture through the lenses of musicality and blackness.”
I’ve also been continuing to think through archival process, which lead me to dig up some previous projects:
New Work on Are.na:
Audio-visual.journal’s research page now has resources from previous projects of mine, including one on black sonic expression and another analyzing blackness through theme songs. There’s also a channel for reference materials, where I have final pieces of work paired with their visual treatments or concept documents. Similar to the A-V.J website, there’s a channel where I’m occasionally journaling gifs/images from current video experiments.
New Work on Vimeo:
More of my video work is available on Vimeo. The page is now organized into categories: my most recent editing reel, previous music videos/shorts, and current video art/practice sessions.

P.S. y’all tired of me using the word ‘break’ yet…? lol
Thank you for sharing your time with my work in this corner of the virtual void. 🖤
There are various ways to support the practice of A-V.J, including generously offering one time or recurring financial contributions, and citing the newsletter when sharing something you learned from here.
