Touch Cinema

This is pretty fascinating as I haven't come to fully feel certain of weather this is a reversal of the purpose of Valie EXPORT's performance piece or not. But I feel like this is interesting and important in that it makes you re evaluate our modern culture even futher now past the periode when Export originaly created the piece. Here is footage of the original

Cybernetic


I have to admit I have done no research on this thing but was very captivated by this as much as one would in my cliche'd universe imagine. Does it have a deeper reason to exist? Who does....

Urban Sax

Dangalang! In my mind David Bowie is one of these men in disguise as he is quite a lover and aficionado of the saxophone

Soft Metals

Experimental ½ Hour - Episode XXII: Soft Metals & Pierce Warnecke from Experimental ½ Hour on Vimeo.

This band has been one of my favorite local to me to listen to, also probably a favorite in general! They have neatly made themselves musically out of all of my favorite elements of different electronic music genre's and hit it not only just right, but also with absolute creativity and attention to detail. Not to mention they still maintain a pop sensibility that is hard to keep when making such epic dance-floor zone traveling pieces of sound! I am in love. In a dream I would be riding a black leather couch that is soaring in circles around this 2 piece group while they perform, and I would be wearing my witch costume that I am most comfortable in, jumping ecstatically, dancing vigorously to appease them, to there sound on my flying leather couch!!! I wish I lived on that couch near them at all times!

Recently in the rentals













These are a slew of movies I have watched or rewatched over the last 2 months (among several others) That have been really powerful for me in one way or another, that i wont probably ever forget. But Just incase..... I put them here for memories sake and also to recommend all of them. There are a few of these I could talk about forever and felt like I should write a detailed post about them, but I have thrown them in here instead of giving them there own spot in the light. I am afraid to expose my feelings about some things and also afraid to get too dark. Some of these films creators I wish to gush upon this blog about down the line but feel inadequate. My love for Catherine Breillat & all f her ideas is one of those. All of these are magic that I wish I could obtain the secret of and regurgitate it filtered through me in some way. They all make me restless to get rad.

An Artist For President


Susanna Dakin, A driven artist who wanted to make a change during the political nightmare of the 80's, not to dissimilar to our current situation has most recently released a book that chronicles her experience running for president. She ran for president as a both very seriouse attempt & also a performance piece however I feel the seriousness of both should not be separated. She ran as an artist who would change the world through art and make the world beautiful in, of, and as art! Its one of my favoite ideas I have seen folowed through and is incredibly inspiring to me. I dont know how to express the magic it makes me feel or the thrill it gives me to know that things that seem so big are possible!
I have had the privilege of meeting for dinner & drinks with Dakin, as she is the proud mother of my friend as well as fellow artist Andrice Arp (who makes a brief & priceless cameo in this clip as a teenager) whom I look up to (not only because she is so tall!) as an inspiration of greatness and infinite possibility as well. It was super fun to get to discuss topics like the Fluxus movement & Yoko Ono and her feelings on a number of awesome things I rarely get to talk about.
Pure real magic!
