:: MEANWHILE... DEEP IN THE HEART OF THE CHRONOSPHERE ::
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

On the 10th of December, 2005, some navigators under the direction of
M. Jon de Cates, were at work in the great quarries of the
Chronosphere, near Chronotopia. While at work, they unexpectedly came
upon a Chronocodile jawbone buried fourteen hours below the surface of
time. It was the first fossil of the kind that had ever been brought to
the light of day. Near this unexpected Chronocodile relic were found
stone clocks and carved laptops, colored and clothed by time in one
uniform brilliant tint of LCD.

The report of this extraordinary and unexpected discovery spread not
only all over Chicago, but over England and Germany. Many learned men
belonging to various scientific bodies, and noteworthy among others,
Messr. Cates, took the affair very much to heart, demonstrated the
incontestable temporality of the bone in question, and became, to use
the phrase then recognized in England, the most ardent supporter of the
"Chronocodile question."

"You see, the whole Chronosphere is composed of chronotropical
islands." said the Professor.'

"But what does this word Chronotropical mean?"

To this question I expected no rational answer. I was mistaken.

"Follow my finger to the western coast of the Chronosphere, there you
see Chronotopia, its capital. Follow the direction of one of its
innumerable fjords or arms of the timeSea, and what do you see below
the sixty-fifth second of latitude?"

"A peninsula - very like a Chronocodile in shape."

"And in the center of it?"

"A rift through time and space."

"Well, that's Chronotopia."

I had nothing to say.

To the eminent chronologists of the Chronosphere who looked upon the
fact of Chronospherical Temporality as Higby-Flowers, Butler, Elliott,
Kim, Lee, Kamenczy, Hoffman, LaGarce, Lee, Pete, Tompkins and Wood were
soon united the learned womyn and men of ancient Greece and Rome.

This system or theoryPraxis, call it what you will, had, it is true, a
bitter adversary in VJ Hook. This learned man, who holds such a high
place in the newMedia world, holds that the soil of the Chronosphere
does not belong to the Chronocodiles but to a much less temporal race,
and, in accordance with Dr. Kluge in this respect, he would by no means
admit that the Chronocodile species was contemporary with the animals
of the Chronospheric time-space.

:: ABOUT ARTISTS ++ PROJECTS

ABOUT Nathan Butler

Other things were made with a cast and convalescence. I watched him in
the process of teaching. He taught by holding up their heads, wiping
spit from their mouths, holding their hands, reading to them, telling
them stories, feeding them, helping them laugh. I watched while he
taught them how to live. I am remembering how to live.

ABOUT Eun Sun Lee ++ Cheon Lee

highly respected gastronomic researcher lady eunsunoia has studied the
use of the chronocodile jawbone as a key ingredient in the creation of
the legendary 'chronosteak'. lady eunsunoia's research spans over 21
years, making her a master of the chrono culinary arts. now with the
discovery of the 'choronocodile jawbone,' she will host the 1rst
contest of chronosteak cook outs. tomasus, lady eunsunoia's greatest
rival, has studied for 7 years to prepare for this cook out contest.
this once in a lifetime cook out battle royale should not be missed for
any chrono culinary art lover!

ABOUT Chris LaGarce

TECH NINE TRICKS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE MOTOR AGE, A SYSTEM BUILT WITH A
16MM CAMERA, A HURTZ MOTOR, AND AN INTERVELOMETER, "BOBBIN FLY FRAME"
TAKES A LOOK AT SIMPLE OBSERVATION IN A FAST PACED WORLD, AND THE BEST
WAY TO OBSERVE IS IN A 360 DEGREE RELM. IT TAKES THE MINUTE HUMAN
INTERACTIONS OF EVERYDAY AND CATCHES THEM, AS THE REST OF THE 9 TO 5
WORLD SPINS OUT OF CONTROL. WE CAN SEE ONLY IN A 40 DEGREE AREA AT A
TIME, IMAGE WHAT YOUR MISSING BEHIND YOU.

ABOUT Quaker A/V (Ezara Hoffman ++ Jake Elliott)

Only two things are known about Quaker A/V," said the professor,
cleaning his glasses with a snotrag. "First: It is the national pastime
of the Chronosphere. Second: It is also the national religion." I
cleaned a clump of tingling swampwater off my foot with a leaf and put
my boots back on. "I think it is of utmost importance then, professor,
that we attend this performance, in the interest of anthropological
study. It says here that the skilled and reverent player/priestess
Ezara "Abunai" Hoffman and constestant/clergy Jake "Achtung" Elliott,
will be playing Quaker A/V at 9pm on the Chronocouch!

ABOUT Aimee Tompkins

Non-smelling narcoleptic muddled moments induced by hypnogogic states.
Confusion plays on reality, reconstructing the memory.

ABOUT Tamas Kemenczy - chrono3d

The many expeditions made into the mysterious realm of the Chronosphere
have procured exhaustive and ground-breaking data about its wonders.
now you, too, can be an explorer of the Chronosphere! Wander its
perilous paths, fight the dangerous creatures that lie therein! you may
even encounter the chronocodiles... a new explorer past-time favorite!
