ACT OF MAKING VISIBLE AND DATA AS AN IMAGE
The performance consists of a daily act of noting down hours spent and tasks included in my artistic practise. The artistic practice is not only considered in terms of artistic production but I intend to make visible all kinds of tasks belonging to practising art as a profession. Therefore the artistic practice is divided into five departments: Administration, Management, Art, Archive, and Production.

.
I register data in the AHRS (the Artist’s Hour Recording System), a matrix that I have developed and keep adjusting alongside the research. In addition to hours and departments, I take note on task descriptions, qualitative aspects (maintenance / progress), and methods in use.
The data is translated into a series of data visualisations under the title The Landscape of an Artist:

Since October 2021, the performance has been carried out uninterrupted. In the project statement, I commit to continuing the performance until the end of my career as a professional artist.
The project statement functions as an speech-act for the daily, non-public performance.
