Book excerpt: The conceptual / internet based artist, Jim Rickss synchronic sequence of popular images or objects rests, on opportunities to visually connect politics and/or aesthetics and/or history and/or philosophy together. In Rickss world images explode, reloading their meaning and impact by mere association; a smiling pineapple ends up inside a hand grenade, the hand grenade ends up in the hand of the young boy in the iconic Diane Arbus photograph which leads into a conversation about photography. This dance of culturally charged imagery does not stop until the last page of the book. far from a traditional exhibition, document Alien Invader branches out to be all forms a book can be. It includes collaborations, footnotes as inserts and explorations in print along with a sticker, newspaper, leaflet, cook book, coloring, bookmark, and a book within the book with a text by art and design critic Max Bruinsma, describing the Synchromaterialist approach. Its a riot of infomration! Ricks is American born but now lives in Ireland. He has a devout following constantly tracking both his public installations and voluminous web postings.
