Snow Factory (2006, 6.41MB, 53 secs)
Lyrical whimsy, which sounds lightweight, but isn’t.
It’s beautifully made by Steven Ball and has a strange
gravity not unreminiscent of the less dread-saturated
(I hesitate to say “more playful”) end of Kafka…or
Ben Marcus, perhaps…
JooYoun Paek – Self-Sustainable Chair (2007, 4.2MB, 1:37)
Joo Youn Paek demonstrates how to use her
self-sustaining chair on a walk down the street.
This and several related excellent related projects
originate in the NYU ITP program.
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.
Richard Hogg – Thank you step ladders (2007, 23.2MB, 3:51)
Richard Hogg is best known for his work as a designer and art director, but he’s made a few contributions to the world of film over time, including this quirky piece from his days at Airside.
The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema -Trailer (2007, 8.97MB, 1:06 min.)
Slavoj Žižek, philosophy’s PT Barnum, struts his stuff
con shed-loads of brio in this Sophie Fiennes directed opus.
Doesn’t seem to be much genuinely new (the terrible fate of
the celebrity academic being to be lionised for what we already
know they’re going to do/say) but still vastly entertaining.
guitarist (2005, 7MB, 1:13 min)
from Charlie Mars. The -um – videomaker from outer space.
Catherine Chalmers, Crawl Space (2004, 1.9MB, 44 secs)
From Catherine Chalmers, creator of spooky and often deeply unsettling
videos and still photographs about housefly mating,
genetically engineered mice, and cockroaches taking over everyday spaces.
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.
Rather unusual, this: a clip from the BBC’s putative yoof
channel, BBC3, that is both funny & smart.
