Geoffrey Alan Rhodes – Mirror (2006, 22.2MB, 6:09)
Holy sh*t this is amazing.
Geoffrey Alan Rhodes, aka GARhodes, is an
insanely talented artist across mediums.
The impossible mirror shot only becomes more
impressive as this piece progresses, and I sure do
love reflexive performance art done right.
Wow.

Where the hell am I going to get $10,000,000? (2007, 22.7MB, 1:57)
I’m not usually a fan of Internet video series,
but I LOVE Joppa.
Here are the first two episodes of the series,
including the infectious intro that first got me hooked.
I think the first season is the best, still sort of raw.
Produced by four adorable guys who live on the
northern Massachusetts coast, Joppa asks important
questions like “How much is that in hands?”, “Is jive
a language?”, and “Isn’t the Lupus like a giant rabbit?”
I rarely laugh so hard.

There’s a rather un-PC expression current in estuary English:
mental. Its semantic nuances don’t lend themselves to easy explanation.
It implies a kamikaze degree of chutzpah, often in a physical
context but also by metaphorical extension to any field of
behaviour & often expressing a kind of stunned admiration.
Well, watch the vids & deny if you can that John Michael Boling
+ Javier Alberto Morales ( collaborators on the visuals, JAM does the music on
sleighride) and owners of
www.gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle.com
are totally fucking mental
Rorschach Revelations (2005, 3.5MB, 1:56 min.)
‘A Rorschach test blot comes slowly into view. A voice responds to the image
in free flow of associations. The abstract image humorously morphs into a
recognizable one, in which the viewer identifies a demonic vision of the political left.’.
Eat your heart out Woody Allen!

For those of you who didn’t think Pirates of Penzance
could be improved upon, Michael Hightower’s brilliant
new score, confirms that Gilbert and Sullivan should
have teamed up with Sir Mix-a-Lot long ago.

David O’Reilly – Ident (2007, 2.1MB, 0:47)
A quirky short from David O’Reilly, via music video
production company Colonel Blimp.
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.

‘Two!’ I hear you cry ‘Two! – WHEN WAS ONE!?’
Well it was er..um..in April & I meant to post more
sooner only I was just plain dilatory.
Partly because the body of work Patrick has handed over
to us is simply somewhat overwhelming in volume & scope
& I’m actually a bit overawed.
So now I’ve grabbed the bull by the horns & am going to
post these three, which showcase Lichty the radical.
They’re funny, pointed and (always a good sign with political art
IMHO) really, really weird…
[Actually, coming back to revise this post, it occurred to me
I don’t think Swiftian is entirely hyperbolic]
There’ll be more before too long…
