Justin Bartels, Impression
‘The series focuses on the clothing that women think they should wear, or are told what to wear, to impress someone in a sexual manner. There is a physical mark that is left from these clothes, showing the discomfort women go through.’
Daniel Everett - Conversations with a Computer (2008)
Artist’s statement:
“Contained within the operating system of Mac computers is a rudimentary electronic psychotherapist program.
Meant to simulate a Rogerian therapist, it engages the participant in a cyclical conversation by taking his or her statements and roughly reconfiguring them into questions.
I met with this program three times a week for a month in order to discuss my fear that I was disappearing completely. These are three stills from our conversations.”

Based on the portfolios of Fulbright recipients I have seen over the years, I would say that it can’t be terribly hard for an artist to be awarded one of those fellowship and … you should all probably apply. Honestly, I have to wonder if maybe they just don’t have any visual artists on the committee.
