Tiija is a weblog created to put together works that we published

over two years on Rhizome_Raw. These were mainly serial works:

"brackets", "short stories", "art for beginners", etc. Our decision

to make these series inspired by events in our private life ('Place

For Baby'), a reaction to restrictions on publishing images on

Rhizome_Raw ("brackets"), a comment on discussions on Rhizome_Raw

("Deconstruction" was in honor of texts about Derida), or we just

followed something we find attractive as visual (arte-)facts

("Practical handbook"). All the works on this blog were made without

knowing what the next step would be, it was something closer to an

impulsive reaction, different to our earlier way of working.

We made some changes to the work to reflect the specific qualities of

the weblog as a medium. We even made some additions: adding "Place

for B" to contextualize the main idea of "Place for Baby". Our

decision to make a pure image blog, without text, was an attempt to

make the whole thing more phenomenological, explanations on this kind

of rhythm will be disturbing (IMO). We found an interesting

difference between the emotion we had when one of these images appear

on Rhizome_Raw, and the almost clerk-like feeling of arranging the

images on the blog. Both experiences were precious for us, and both

were in their own way instructive.
