“This is an old family picture featuring my grand father, my grand aunt and one of their cousin during their youths. Looking at it takes me to a beautifull place in time. It’s not a perfect picture but I have a fondness for it. I don’t like to have too many icons on my desktop. The permanent icons are pictures of family members taken in the 1890’s. Other icons come and go. The clock on the upper right side helps me to know the time it is where my godson and my best friend are living, so I might eventually call them if I’m up at the right moment.”

“I love William Wegman. He reminds me that art doesn’t have to be too serious and that I should continue to imbue my own art with humor.”

“This is my desktop. The artistamps were made in 1983 and still guide me through the electronic world that is now interconnected with mail-art and networking.”

“i have a macbook pro and an ibm thinkpad, which i refer to as my children … i love the mac’s inbuilt slide show (here showing bamboo) and tend to have very little desktop clutter as this is more often the fun child which usually sits to my left, although whatever i’ve been working with will be lying around (here a self.portrait (snap) and the work of photographer peter emery (light scatter) which is part of a design in progress) … the thinkpad typically sits to my right and is more of a workhorse … the desktop here is whatever piece i’m working with (at the moment it’s a found.object piece i made entitled free.speech.muzzle) and there are always too many folders of catch.up work! :D”

“Ten years ago TYP (Gezelschap Kunst en Macht, based in Amsterdam) issued a CDr called ‘Digitale Dingen’, including a whole set of artists’ desktop screenshots. I include here the one I submitted, 10 years ago, to that collection. It is what my desktop looked like on November 22th, 2001 … The other shot is of my laptop’s desktop as it is right now, December 31st, 2011.”
