- hi store, i think you miss the point. this is not about maths, but showing that giving a few options to the audience still gives limited outcomes.
- Math is boring.

In the work "Crevice" my collaborators and I used the blog (http://skellis.net/creviceBlog/) to share materials, ideas and thinking outside of the studio environment. It became a way for us to continue (and feed into) the dialogue. But, I suspect that if you were to visit the material as an 'outsider' it would be very much like a floating cloud.
Actually, I think I am dumping floating clouds all over the blogosphere.
For "Gertrud" (a work to be presented in September in London), I have used the blog (http://skellis.net/gertrud/blog/) to collect various ideas, images, and text extracts that I find relevant. I have made no effort to make them cohesive (through written info etc), but rather think of it as forward-documentation that is poetic, diverse, and particularly of value to those who have a close interest in the project (either before or after the work's premiere) - collaborators, friends, family, peers etc ...
Having said that, I do not go out of my way to make the writing obtuse, or the blogs enigmatic. Perhaps it is part and parcel of blogging that each new post does not necessarily bear a close relationship with its predecessor. But, when viewed together they are able to take on a 'life of their own' (even if merely a cloud).
