Kenichi works/products are pretty amazing. His experiments bend and enhance time, in an almost fantastical way. Changing your perspective on the world around you.
I thought I would take a moment and make a quick post about Jules de Balincourt. Jules de Balincourt’s I Infect You, You Infect Me posits the tensions of abstract painting as a ground for warfare. Flanked on either side by slogans in hand rendered techno font, De Balincourt’s composition is unleashed with parodic authoritarianism. Rendered with the hard edged graphics of primitive special effects, coloured bands explode towards each other, colliding in the centre in a ball of spindly chaos. With its humble aesthetics, De Balincourt’s painting portrays aggression with a pathetic sympathy, outlining the unspoken rules of basic human interaction.
The Visual Music of Mary Ellen Bute…. Her work is pretty close to amazing. Bute was a pioneer and an innovative female filmmaker and animator whose work is still not widely known. Much of her early films function a bit like music videos. She called them “visual music” - she creates graphics through analog means in order to accompany a piece of music. More on Mary Ellen Bute link. One more video for the road….
So, I had this idea to make an “art piece.” An….”installation.” The piece was going to be composed of two vintage television sets…one on top of the other. There would be a video playing on each in which hands would appear to interact with each other…and reach for each other, to make a long story short. Never happened. Maybe one day.
This fine piece of work is straight from art school back in 2003. As you can see, Josh acting as Neo and I am Morpheus. The idea of the piece is too conceptually layered to explain…I’m not kidding anyone..I know. Anyway, we thought we would humor you for a quick second.
