It’s nearly Bloomsday in ten days, so I thought I’d bring out the odd city pages and make a gif to begin the countdown. I want to do some walk for the sixteenth, but not sure yet what to do. Anyway, Daedalus is walking on a platter of Dadaists. This is from an interesting show at the Swiss Institute. I kind of loved the simple way it just pairs a cheap c.d. player (Coby no less) with a book and you can look at the book and listen to Duchamp, or whoever reading. It instantly made me remember how I got interested in new media. as I sat there sweating in the warm gallery, sucking on Ricola, I thought: “Wouldn’t it be great to have all this in digital version and shouldn’t it move and shimmy to the sounds. I wanted to turn the whole thing into and electronic book right there on the spot… but at the same time, it was a beautifully simple thing.. a table with books and a disc player… like memories of college study session… It’s here because it somehow reminds me of a Zoetrope and what better Zoetrope to cast a Muybridge inspired Ulysees animation than a table of dada texts… Some how this relates to Citzen Kane.
