Within the excitement of new technologies the taboo of two men dancing together has been suspended to make way for newer art forms and ways of thinking. Certainly, without the presence of a camera such a spectacle would be shunned. This is the composite nature of progress…
New Technology = New Forms [...]

A dear friend and poet Stephanie Adams-Santos asks
Where do we begin to assess the ruin?
Indeed, in this cloud of dust we inhabit, our cyclical abyss of creation and destruction, where do we begin when there is no starting point from which to leap? What course will the chemicals of our body lead us as they [...]

Directed by Peter Bogdanovich
What better obsession for us voyerist urbanites than the desolate flatlands of Texas? The Last Picture Show exposes it’s characters vulnerabilities in their most socially desperate forms. Their isolation serves as the control for our experiment in hillbilly speciation, christian love affairs and teenage rail side curiosities where nothing is explained and [...]

A few random thoughts, hodge podge, lack order
Movie – Man on Wire
Art as crime! Why didn’t Hakim Bey cite this spectacle? Disruption for the sake of it. Look! A man suspended mid-air between the towers of the World Trade Center, life and death as art.
What drove the movies characters to tears? Was it the unexplainable [...]

Now, I am not hoping to get anything from Netflix for this (though I would not mind deleting this blog for a lifetime free membership) but I write this out of disapointment from recieving a bootleg copy of the last disc of the last season of Twin Peaks! Now, this either proves that Netflix is copying their own DVD’s, which would be quite the lawsuit, but most likely it is an impressive customer-made copy. Nonetheless, Netflix has bootleg copies of DVD’s in circulation, which is probably illegal. Anywho, here is my proof.

The Alphabet (you can download it) by David Lynch apparently has an expired copyright. Made in 1968, the seemingly clichéd juxtaposition of children and horror is commanded by Lynch with such delicate terror and originality. Such concrete pains of childhood, the nightmarish itch of growing and learning. [...]

Grab your camera, expose stuff!
“Shooting Back” is what Israeli human rights group B’Tselem calls their video resistance project which has already spurred national debate in Israel. Especially in the light of suspicious assassinations it appears that even Karachi is rioting. Interesting, ¿qué no? After all, the aesthetic shock of video is nothing [...]
