My Girlfriend Is an Artist .com
Jarrett Fuller, Jisu Lee and Happy Mother's Day
Dear reader
I made a website for Ana’s birthday. It is a simple site. Each time you visit, you see a photograph by Ana combined with a few words. I styled the text as movie subtitles because living with Ana is like living in a non-linear film. She favors expressions, intentions, feelings, symbols, and sculptures over heroes, villains, and the Hollywood narrative. If this sounds strange, you might think of it as analog photos instead of saturated phone photos, a projector instead of your smartphone, or the labyrinth instead of the maze.
It was fun putting it together, and I’m happy to now have an environment where I can add words to Ana’s horizontal photographs. They deserve to live outside of her external hard drives. You’ll find the link among the wayside flowers.
With care
Kristoffer

Field notes
1.
Irl-to-url is a lovely, emerging blog dancing between the physical world and the poetic web.
2.
»This is why the simplicity of HTML and CSS now feels like a radical act. To build a website with just these tools is a small protest against platform capitalism: a way to assert sustainability, independence, longevity.«
Jarrett Fuller’s call for simple tools is lovely albeit at times a bit too didactic for my taste.
