The Human Historiome Project
I believe that humans have Historiomes, just as they have genomes, connectomes, and variomes. The human historiome is connected to population history. It is in fact human history in the making. It is highly theoretical at this point, however. The science of historiomes is called Historiomics.
All populations have their histories, therefore they have Historiomes proper. I believe that each Historiome has its own unique Antihistoriome. I will explain all of these things in due time. All I wanted to do right now is state that the Human Historiome Project has officially been launched and that Historiomics is a human historical fact. What comes out of this work, your guess is as good as mine. Just remember that it is highly theoretical, speculative.
In fact, if anything comes of the Human Historiome Project, a.k.a. The History-Project, I hope that it would be a more speculative and critical approach to human history and historiography. We seem to have lost historical works of a more philosophical nature. History must have its own philosophical art unique to the study of human history. Here is an image of what a Historiome might look like. Stay tuned for more.

The Art Operation 4.0
The Art Operation is a 365-day-a-year ordeal.
My Production-Year starts in September-October and all year I run an Art Operation.
The operation has inputs and outputs.
It has an archive representing the operation's past.
It has art production in the present and the operation faces the future.
It has inventory and new productions through production processes using techniques and applying theories.
There are inputs and outputs. The inputs are raw materials which get transformed into cultural artifacts which are sold on a market - the Art Market.
It is a full-blown operation with logistics as well as many risks.
I invest almost everything in the Art Operation and it is streamlined like you wouldn't believe.
It is ecological and a truly sustainable operation in the very long-term.
This is what I do. You can like it or leave it. I'll still be working on the Art Operation version 4.0.
My Production-Year 2014-2015 officially starts right now. Hope you will enjoy the show!
Sincerely,
Alex Gagnon

Painting History circa 2001
If the first element of History is Time, the second element, in my mind, is Text. Because, we could say, history is the textualizing of events that happened in time. But it's not any time we can portray, it should be time past. That's where memory becomes important, and the best figure to elucidate memory is the phonograph or the camera, or better yet, TEXT itself. Markings on a text form their very own history. A text is a history. I can feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal. I've already made a painting of a clock. I've made collages of text, a special one with clippings from an old Radio magazine, yellowed images of electrical diagrams. My goal is to paint a pure abstraction that is the concept of history, but I'm a long way from there. Nevertheless, an obsession is an obsession and I will keep trying until I'm content with myself.

From a notebook of conversations of a young, erudite painter
History: (circa 2001)
I might have mentioned this before, I'm trying to paint History. Pierre Puvis de Chavannes in 1866 painted a panel in a hotel, I think, called History. Now, his is an allegory, and I wanted mine to be an allegory but finally I've decided to paint the image associated with the concept of history as it is seen in the mind. When I go through the various fields of knowledge, philosophy, history, psychology, I make these little diagrams in my mind which I use to 'locate' history, say, in my understanding. I think that these diagrams are universal, and I want to paint them. I've been working on it for a month and I'm starting to think it's going to take years. I don't want to have a title, I want people to look at my abstraction and think, "Hey that's history!" So the painting has to work in the same way that history works. That's the hard part, because history isn't a simple machine. How does one paint 'research'? I know, I'm the painter, I should know. Maybe you could help me. What is history to you? How would you visualize history? I took a picture of one of my history paintings and when I develop the photographs I'll scan the picture. It'll give you an idea of where I'm trying to take this thing.

TECHNOLOGY AND TIME [circa May, 2001]
The internet and other new technologies of the past several decades, have only accelerated our vision of the present as global/universal simultaneity. Our conception of the past is loosening its cables whereas the future reigns over the past, and the present over the future. The lines between present and future are confused. Ten times a day on television they tell us the news we'll hear about at the next hour. This concept of getting news hours from now is frightening. It means to our conception of past, present, and future, that we are willing to wait days after something has happened to hear about it, and yet the news is still in the future somehow, because it's playing at 11PM, which hasn't arrived yet. It means that our concept of time is changing, or has already changed. Not only do we have super-simultaneity [brought by globalization], but we have traces of the future in the present, traces of the past in the future, traces of anti-time in the present; thus time has cracked, has split into various shards. We can say that we helped crack the crystal ball of time, and that we are suffering from it in the pure terror at not knowing what time it is.
