    Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media pdf-ebooks/field-recordings -- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters. An intensive examination of small islands and their paradigmatic solutions to globalism... Ethnographically a shared world of historical experience -- not the romanticized and divided universe of them and us.

about

Early, long audio extract from artist-e-publication. Impromptu field recording on rainy storm store porch on Ambergris Caye, Belize 2002: the parrots in the nearby tree had learned to mimic human patois and even cats! There are other longer/better recordings available. Checkout the Global Islands Project: bbrace.net/id.html bradbrace.net/id.html I like the idea of live performance-play of these works and am open to collaboration.


On an island, a place of edges, the ocean provides a counter-narrative, nonlinear in what it reveals; "time's arrow" is modified by the rhythmic cycle of the sea as it encounters, and ever transforms, the shore. Historical, archaeological, or even narrative knowledge is challenged by its meeting with the sea that offers up its own kind of knowing. We need to stretch, even confound, our usual frames to take account of such knowledge.

Deglobalisation means the transformation of a global economy from one integrated around the needs of transnational corporations to one integrated around the needs of peoples, nations, and communities. We cannot talk about construction without deconstruction, reintegration without disintegration.

The world (universe) is mostly filled with the black hole (or the vast and deep sea ) of the forgotten. Compared with this, the world of memory is only a small island in the vast "sea of oblivion."
