(or anything else in any case.. ie politics, taste, love, desire, etc) awesome. I'm going to get off my ass and get a new blog going, and new work for all you to laugh your ass off at.

That is one of the important aspects of his images and, to me, it seems that understanding his allusions simply involves being provided with the <i>information</i>, and not necessarily the "experience." And again, as Jorn Ake points out on Alec's blog: <blockquote>...The venture itself, in its attempt to illustrate a fluid (nebulous) state with a static image, resides entirely at the informational end of its own spectrum.</blockquote> In other words, the realm of photography is already based on principles of information. There is no escaping this. In a sense, this conclusion makes the Spectrum worthless; it would be hard (if not impossible) to define a truly noninformative photograph. And is experiential really the polar opposite? If informational is realism is experiential a form of abstraction? Wall’s photographs are often referencing other works of art.

How bout this.

X Axis = informational -> experiential
Y Axis = conceptual - > formalism

I will think about graphing this, and get you response later.

But, alas, I have my reasons. Joe, the triangle sounds interesting -- I'd love to see a graph/diagram with photographers plotted in. I was hesitant to use Wall at all in the spectrum of things.

His work is not what I would call informational at all. It so far experiental in regards to the conceptual aspect of the work. Jeff Wall is a 10, not a 3.
