Trailer for ,
a documentary about Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping,
produced by Morgan Spurlock.
I’m not convinced that Spurlock is the man to spread a good message,
but I sure would go to any church where Rev. Billy showed up.
DRIVE THE DEMONS OUT OF THOSE CASH REGISTERS!!

Real DMB TU – Life Dress (2007, 5.2MB, 0:33)
From Anna Maria Cornelia (also known by pseudonym
Ann De Gersem), a Life Dress which allows a person
to create instant personal boundaries in public.
As a woman often bothered by unwanted attention
in public – not to mention a lover of profound design
– I am so pleased by this concept, even if the end
result might be even more unsolicited scrutiny.
The dress is featured here in a commercial for
South Korea’s mobile broadcast service, TU Media.
Wim Delvoye – Sybille II (1999, 15.8MB, 4:35)
Wim Delvoye, in addition to his main artistic passion of tattooing pigs,
here shows us what could be worms, mutant fungus, or blackheads
(yes, I know which it is – but I’m not telling).
Things are never as they seem.
This is a little gross, but so are most things when scrutinized this much.

Pet Shop Boys – Integral (2007, 18.7MB, 3:21 min.)
There is so much to say about this.
And while I want to discuss surveillance, QR codes, and the passage of time,
I think this video speaks for itself.
pouringdown – fever dream (2007, 24.5MB, 3:42 min.)
Always truth in art from pouringdown.
If only we had more folks like this in the world.

videos and still photographs about housefly mating,
genetically engineered mice, and cockroaches taking over everyday spaces.
