They’re back!

Posted on by

The Postman walks with a spring in his step –They’re back!–
The little girl with freckles & pigtails tumbles joyfully headlong
down the street –They’re back!–
Even Fr. Pinault seems to twinkle ever so slightly..
Now, old Cottard stumbles cantankerously into the boulangerie.
-I don’t understand why everyone’s so damned cheerful today-
-Why, M’sieu, haven’t you heard? They’re back!
The FluxFilms are back on UbuWeb! –

Introduction to First Aid (2005, 24MB, 13 min.)

If you have ever had to train for Red Cross certification,
you will know why this is funny and not just awful.
When I came upon this, I thought to myself,
‘Wow, I am actually, deeply creeped out by this!’ then I thought,
‘This is the kind of sick stuff the internet is all about
and yet is so rare these days!’
So, it is with great pleasure that I can share with you
thirteen disturbing minutes of First Aid presented by LA based
educational cult/performance art group Art of Bleeding Foundation.

smoke (excerpt) (2007, 7MB, 56 sec.)

‘A symbol of the human desire to monumentalize ideas in physical form,
the Empire State Building is a subject of Mark Napier‘s artwork in the past four years.
This icon of American hegemony is key to exploring shifting structures of power,
specifically the transition from steel to software as the medium of power in our time.’
In Smoke, a generative software installation projected on the bitforms gallery wall.
