MESMERIZING


The trees don't sway nor do the children play in JONAS DAHLBERG'S film INVISIBLE CITIES.

It's like a giant 3D Sims ghost town.

I HAVE EVERYTHING READY FOR YOU


I made an "Exquisite Corpse" style question/answer program for you jerks out there. It's HERE.

It's basically just a fun little web toy, but it also has practical and inspirational and magical applications.

If you care, here's how it works:

You either enter a question or an answer. When you submit your question or answer it is entered into either the question or answer database. Then you will see a page showing an answer to your question that has been pulled at random from the answer database, or a question for your answer that has been pulled at random from the question database. So you're getting an answer that somebody wrote or a question that somebody wrote. It may sound absurd, but often there is a connection between your question/answer that is uncanny. It also is great if you are stuck for inspiration, if you need psychic/cosmic affirmation, or are bored.

The answers and questions are added ad infinitum to the database, so the more it's used, the bigger the pool your answer/question will be pulled from. Tell your friends.

C L I C K H E R E T O P L A Y W I T H M Y C O R P S E

Have fun.

HELLO MUDDA, HELLO FADDA


Here I am at Camp Kill Yourself. Candice Breitz is a video artist. Her installation "Mother + Father" creates fictional interactions between fictional mothers and fathers from film. Each mother is rotoscoped and placed on a black background. Played in a black room on six screens, the mothers from movies like Stepmom and fathers from movies like Father of the Bride give advice and seem to relate with each other in the void.

See the clips on CANDICE'S WEBSITE (click on WORK>VIDEO>MOTHER+FATHER)

DON'T TELL ME


Dear Diary,

It's been a while since I've written to you...but tonight I felt compelled.

I was just watching the Daily Show. The guest was Tim Robbins. He was promoting the movie he's in - City of Ember. He casually remarked that it was about "the human spirit". Ugh. This stupid little thing set me off. They showed a clip and I just couldn't believe that he related this obvious and simple film about common people overcoming evil to something so complex as the human spirit. I don't even have to see it to know what is going to happen and the obvious metaphors about the environment and bla bla bla.

I felt so strongly because yesterday I watched SILENT LIGHT, the Mexican film about a Mennonite farmer who questions his faith when he falls in love with a woman who is not his wife. It's so gorgeously filmed, acted, and the ending is handled so incredibly well that I can't imagine the over-blown crap that Tim Robbins is promoting could in any way relate to my human spirit and I find it insulting that he could be so pretentious to boil down the human race like that.

Anyway, watch Silent Light - it's quiet and downtempo but so great.
