I create links of people and places that Warhol mentions. I then comment on the people and/or legal practice area the entry itself on the blog to the left called "meta diary." In Diary of a Star I legal practice area re-evaluate Warhol’s legal practice area thoughts and create my own narrative alongside his, which functions as a critical extension of his own aesthetic of constant exposure." The goal for my project was simply to allow people a platform for reading the text in real time. By converting the text into an RSS feed the entries can be read on the same day that they were originally written (minus 29 years). I've become some what obsessed with his work and life, and felt that this individual who photographed everyone around him, tape recorded social interactions, and dictated diary entires every morning really needed a blog. A side benefit would be creating an online archive of the complete text as a set of data for use by other media artists. The main differences between the two projects is that Navas's version contains his own voice as a narrative element, and edits the diary down to 10 months.
