Three Brothers

by

Play them together if you have the band width.
All Along the Watchtower by bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix
Revolution and Revolution # 9 by the Beatles
Revolution 909 by Daft Punk
Various Smile by Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys
Attempts to describe a memory of several encounters between three brothers from October 2001 till the present. Initial footage was shot in Ocotober and November 2001 on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The lower movie is Buster Keaton by way of Sam Beckett and was shot in Brooklyn!

Almost

I was editing another mashup of the Arc Along The Watchtower concept… leaning towards: “Three Brothers- Revolution 9”. As it compressed, I went for a run and of course it started raining. So I ducked into the Botanic Garden to see the state of the Cherry Blossoms. Oh my god it smelled like I was running through a Paris Brothel… perfume everywhere….birds and the Bees indeed. Soon I’m 42… it should be right when all the Cherries bloom…. like in Joyce, or whatever….Call me Poldy. I find it weird that the Japanese arch reflected in the lake looks like a Swiss Cross.

Looking Up

by

The other day I walked home from midtown Manhattan and I noticed that there was a lot of new and interesting architecture going up around the city and it’s outer boroughs. It’s very strange that we are supposed to be in such a shitty financial state, when all of these interesting places are just coming onto the market. If anyone has a lot of empty office/residential space in one of these beauties, I here by volunteer to act as your artist in residence and turn the space into a fun gallery/installation/performance space. Seems like a good way to get people to see your new facility. Contact me. We’ll do lunch. This is a new residential tower near insurance row in the twenties and below that is the side of the new Cooper Union building (which given it’s location next to a tower that clearly borrows a glass idea from the Chelsea AIC building) looks like a sort of knock off Frank Gehry building… in the manner of Canal Street designer hand bags… but you know it still looks pretty good and goes with your shoes, or whatever.

I don’t know who’s work this is, but I’ve seen it on the B.Burgh Bridge for a couple of years and it also shows up on sidewalks of Billyburgh too. I just love it.

I’ll be screening a few selected videos and e-books and doing a reading from HUB, a multimedia work in progress featuring the ambient sounds of Phonometricians on Cosmic Fire.
