Another experiment with the glitched camera. This time I placed a layer of plastic wrap over my screen and shot old videos from Vimeo in full screen mode while drawing over them with sharpie markers on the protected screen. I then downloaded the archived films and re edited them. This is a fairly direct response to paintings I went into yesterday. The music here is a remix of Miles Davis and Bill Evans’ Blue In Green.

Cracking Vanya

Feisty

Went to the Feist show last night at Prospect Park. Lot’s of Estrogen. Lot’s of rain. Some interesting simple visual projections got me thinking about the abstract shape of the stage and the crowd and the sliver of vision I could capture with my little still camera. For what it’s worth.

Tales of the cock at the empty store. This was from the dawn of the holiday… went out with ladies to one of these places that has “Mixologists” instead of bartenders… Lot’s of odd cocktails that conspired to give me the worst hangover I’ve had in years. I didn’t even think I was drunk, but it sure killed the next day. I was taking note of things I over heard. Everyone on the street sounded straight out of Willoughby.

bedredhead.jpgUpset, sleepless thinking about my new camera that is now completely fucked up. I don’t know what happened. One minute I’m happily uploading Coney Island footage and the next minute the camera went on the fritz; didn’t drop it, didn’t get it wet. It’s only a year old and I’ve treated it like a baby. Can’t really afford a new one and getting it repaired seems pricey too. Anyway there’s a strange beauty in it’s broken image and I’ll have to revert to photomotion and animation I suppose. As it is, I’m drawing in my new big pad and as I put this blog together I am shocked at how much the thumbnail for the video looks like one of my dad’s paintings. Ghosts in the machine, perhaps?

Dumber Summer

Sorry for certain stretches of silence lately. Nothing on the internet seems to be working properly for me. Maybe it’s the heat.

Conversations With Myself

fragile.gif portmap.jpgRecently, I’ve had cause to want to point out the documentary bits out of my last couple of shows in Portland and New York. They were extruded onto the blog in bits and pieces several months back. I thought it might be nice to have them all together in one entry so that I could just forward that link to people. It becomes something like a four channel video piece if you can play them all at the same time, or a story if you play them in order. The box gif is new.
