girl and giraffe

from mcsweeney's 22: F. Scott Fitzgerald apparently kept a list of 32 ideas, which he published, but did not live long enough to realize. one of those ideas was simply, "girl and giraffe".

Big Ideas (don't get any) from James Houston on Vimeo

you really gotta let it play for a little while to fully appreciate it. yes, i know the first 30 seconds is annoying. just bare with it... it's worth it, dear readers (of whom there are none).

apropos this post, there is also Paul Slocum, who makes synths out of dot matrix printers...

check out this wonderfully haunting interlude, by Mr Slocum.

I LOVE YOU BUT I HAVE CHOSEN DARKNESS

because i didn't really get to go into anything at the presentation, here's my spiel:

My chosen title was: "I love you, but i have chosen darkness". why do i choose this descriptor? as a indication of the mindset of the person traveling through darkness, getting a sense of the beauty and wonder surrounding her, but then plunging back into darkness. The title also serves as a reference to the ecstatic religious experiences that were often the subject of Baroque sculpture, as in, "I Love you" (humanity addressing god), "...but I have chosen darkness" (humanity continuing to be human, versus existing in the revelatory light). i'm not a religious person at all, but i find it fascinating that religious leaders of the Baroque co-opted the corporeal, sensual experiences as a means to relate to the divine.

the handwritten words that you see in the darkness are quotes from a book called, "Art & Ecstasy", my favorite being, "Let me alone. I am in love", which is what an aged Bernini said to an assistant who tried to spirit him away from a marble sculpture after an 18hr day.

please note: there is a grey screen artifact that for some reason popped up when i uploaded to youtube. please disregard that.

yet another derivative of the infamous monster

everybody be biting the style of the OG monster. tisk-tisk. i think the original monster was much more of a raw _force_. while i never saw it in person, the damn thing seems moody and crankier than any of the derivatives out there, like it could beat the living crap out of the fronter projects. props to the peeps involved in the OG monster. you know who you are. *pouring a Mickeys on to the curb*
