Counting backwards, Approaching the era of Alfred Jarry (1873 - 1907), 2011
Alfred Jarry was a bike maniac and pataphysician - follower of a science based on IMAGINARY SOLUTIONS. Given his science and extending it to arithmetics I propose here a series of works Jarry might have labeled patametrical since they follow his obsession with time and time machines. The count is simple: In order for me to approach his era I simple take a couple of old things -- bike stuff of course -- adding up the time based. An inner tupe from the 1930s ( 80 years), a saddle from the 1940s (70 years old) and a bike fork from the 1970s (40 years) easily ad up to over a hundred year and return us to his 19th century. these works are a quasi-pataphysical attempt to approach Alfred Jarry on the diachronical axis and in line with my I wanna be Alfred Jarry (www.Iwannabealfredjarry.me) works.
A Jarryesque patametric time-travel.
