Look at the perils of discussing a New Age culture. Lots of metaphysical personalities are turned away from a cliché that is populated by unclear language, literature, and music. It attempts to integrate the metaphysical parts of human experience, at a counter-culture level, at the expense of conventional methodlogy, but also at the expense of […]
What will happen to Noel Crane when he graduates? Will he make the logical movement into the agency world of design? A freelancer working on album cover designs? A true non-conformist? * With the exception of Noel’s internet billboard gags.

A quaint irony exists in both the quantity and quality of e-mail flooding the server, from an audience both delighted and disoriented by the site’s in-character approach. Television’s fourth wall had not been broken here. Of those who made repeat visits, the appearance of a mostly-finished site waiting there for them prompted a few bewildered […]

A fenced-out view of a row of skyscrapers, masked from the lines of a bar code symbol. The sign poking over the fence reads, with typical New York City abrasiveness: “Don’t even think of stopping here.” The site prompts us to roll the mouse over Noel’s outgoing ad message. We click through into Noel’s landscape […]
The creative premise was that noelcrane.com could be the homepage of any young (and technologically-gifted) college student; somebody noodling with HTML or JavaScript for the first time, trying to make it better whenever they could make time for it; testing it online every night, perhaps not yet at the stage of registering it with the […]

A few months ago, I was sorting through some old files, and I came across a rather curious paragraph, written by me. It was from a note written to myself back in 1998 – rather a difficult year of personal relationships – and it read: Thoughts on Noel Crane…Denial? “Why must I experience all of […]

It’s not the first time that JJ called me with an idea about how to mix the internet and television. We’d had this kind of talk before, so when it came up preceding ALIAS, few words were exchanged, and I already knew pretty much what he wanted to set up; we’d already tested it, to […]

“I sometimes find it difficult to imagine what my life will be like, working some day as a designer or art director in the world of advertising. Special importance is placed upon every designer’s ability to express him or herself clearly; also to be able to explain that work. Its relevance. But more often than […]
It’s a very man-made idea, isn’t it! We think often in terms of a dimensional universe, where we’ve assigned time to be that “unseen” one — just like cartoon characters can’t see the third dimension, we are unable to see time; and yet we assume that it controls us. It’s an interesting hypothesis, that perhaps […]

You can’t label me. I’m an American. I’m an artist too. And speaking at you, as a free-speech artist, I can assure you that your interest in curbing my free speech is threatening me having a good day. Of course, censorship is a big buzz. We are even getting conditioned to respond to the sound […]
