GX Jupitter-Larsen is an artist, based in Hollywood, California, who
has been active in a number of underground art scenes since the late
1970s. He has been involved in punk rock, mail art, cassette culture, the noise scene, and zine culture. During the 1990s he was the sound designer for the performances of Mark Pauline's Survival Research Laboratories. His best known work is as the founder of the noise act The Haters, who have performed all over the world, and appear on over 300 CD & record releases. Underlying all of Jupitter-Larsen's work is a peculiar mix of aesthetic and conceptual obsessions, particularly entropy and decay, professional wrestling, and a self-created lexicon consisting mainly of personalized units of measurement such as polywave, the totimorphous, and the xylowave. In 1981, Jupitter-Larsen decreed all vacant lots in every city as monuments to entropy. So, regardless what city you're in, if you see a vacant lot, you'll be looking at an untitled readymade sculpture of his. The
transexpansion numeral unit (TNU) was invented in 1985 by
Jupitter-Larsen to explore what he called "the distance &
separateness in between linear counting locations that don't neighbor
each other." When arranged in order, the TNUs form a spiral around the
standard linear numbers. If one assumes that each individual linear
number is a particular location along a counting order, then each
individual TNU would be the distance between two selected linear number
locations. Where the TNUs have been placed is unimportant. What is
important is that anyone can make up their own personal numbers to
symbolize any numeral interrelationship that Jupitter-Larsen's don't. GX has worked in radio since 1983, and has done over 3500 hours of live radio art on 30 different stations in 11 countries.
