Paul Vs. George

When I met George Cox he was producing an auto-documentary while at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1999. At that time, it was the most interesting thing happening at the school that I knew of. I kept a safe distance to study George's behavior and artistic approach, I admired it. George and I had few intimate moments, I mostly sat back and awwed at what I was witnessing. Analogous to viewing this video, the cognitive responses are similar to those days at the Museum School.

The closest I came to living like a George Cox was when I rode my bicycle across the country; only a marginal fraction of what the George Cox experience could be.

George runs his own production company now: Cogs Industries. I ran into him about 3 years ago, he was thinned haired, still wiled eyed, but still spit fired. I don't know where he is. The city of Boston now has just memories and social sporadic residue of his occupancy. But Cogs Industries is out there still, and you too can keep an eye on his on goings as they are always fascinating and more interesting than the life you are living.
