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.
Milking The Cow (2005, 6.6MB, 32 sec.)
Tanja Puustelli is a Finnish video artist and printmaker,

Christ! -if it’s not nailed down he’ll remix it.
jimpunk does the biz on dvblog.
The whole glorious sequence here.
We’re not worthy… we’re not worthy…
Can’t Tell Me Nothing (2007, 23.9MB, 5:00 min)
How good is this?
Alternative vid for Kanye West’s ‘Can’t Tell me Nothing’ with
comedian Zack Galifianakis & the wonderful Will Oldham. Exhilarating!
Found here.
Antinormalizer (2007, 83.9MB, 9:58 min)
This has quite a complex history, which is explained
better in the video than I could do here.
My nose twitched when I saw it posted on the
Rhizome list by Brett Stalbaum.
Anything associated with him is worth checking out
as witness the various excellent things he’s made with
a hiking theme ( & hiking theme so fails to do justice to the peculiarity
& wonder of them).
Anyway this one is a big team thing, students and staff from
two courses at Unviersity of California San Diego &
it’s entertaining & thought provoking & it feels like
a 2007, modern tech twist on 1968’s
‘Sous les pavés, la plage!’.
‘Perseverance (fragment)’ (2006, 35 MB, 3:05 min.)
The Rhizome mailing list became a more predictable & somehow
less exciting place when wit, polymath & provocateur Max Herman
hung up his mouse for a while. He’s back there now & he’s here too,
with some ice hockey action for your delectation, being a section
from a longer work entitled Perseverance.
Says Max, “If I can choose keywords, can they be ‘hockey, millennium,
glasperlenspiel, perseverance, history?’ ”
Of course they can, Max, of course.
(PS Watch the movie, it’s quite lovely)
Intimate Controllers Game Console (2007, 3.5MB, 2:40)
An interpersonal videogame in progress from JennyLC Chowdhurdy,
a woman responsible for such projects as an emphysema-ridden
My Little Pony and a portable telephone booth so you can finally
have some privacy on your cellular in public.
Muttering Hat (2007, 7.5MB, 1:12)
Also, a Muttering Hat from Kate Hartman, who believes
plants should be able to call humans on the telephone
and makes gloves that dance.
I wish I got to spend all day making this kind of innovation.
cannonball (1996, 32.6MB, 3:35 min.)
Hi all,
This was recorded at the Blockbuster Video grand opening in Daphne,
Alabama, US, on December 6, 1996. They had a video karaoke machine
with a bluescreen, and you could choose your song and they would tape
you and give you a copy of the videotape. I think I might have also
had the option to select “Sci-fi” background or something like that.
The whole process took about five minutes and this was the result.
Some close friends refer to this as the highlight of my artistic
career, and sometimes I am inclined to agree with them.
Enjoy,
Curt.
Says Tom Moody: Recommended: Guthrie Lonergan’s 9 Short Music Videos.
Reminiscent of BEIGE’s cheesy blue (green?) screen vids,
each is built around some corporate sound
(ringtone, Microsoft boot-up noise, DVD intro)
that craps up our daily lives. Also good:
Drift (2007, 199MB, 10:20 min)
Last in our series of pieces from Carl Burton.
Don’t be put off by the file size of this piece -it’s
definitely worth the wait.
Magnificent!
