J. P Witkin.... and the breastfeeding of eels

"How does he find his models? Some of them in the morgues, others, from ads. Ads like this one from 1989, looking for:

Pinheads, dwarfs, giants, hunchbacks, pre-op transsexuals, bearded women, people with tails, horns, wings, reversed hands or feet, anyone born without arms, legs, eyes, breast, genitals, ears, nose, lips. All people with unusually large genitals. All manner of extreme visual perversion. Hermaphrodites and teratoids (alive and dead). Anyone bearing the wounds of Christ.(...) Anyone claiming to be God. God".

Enantiomorphic Chamber . Enantiomorphic Chamber

Image title : Vickies Nylons posted by
Christoper Howard

He and Kevin Reagan are running an awesome doubling blog site....heres a quote on what they are on about "Enantiomorphic Chamber indexes an unrecognized iconographic phenomenon in contemporary art—reflected figures—and proposes a label for it, enantiomorph. Strictly speaking, an enantiomorph is a pair of asymmetrical figures, usually two three-dimensional forms, that are mirror images of one another. Our curatorial stance is looser than this. We take our name from a Robert Smithson sculpture, Enantiomorphic Chambers, 1964/65."

sister act onstage with dolls and sound

20-minute *karaokecore cabaret*_ by sister0 click here

mutant dolls & curiosa embedded with hacked gamepads are played like instruments to divine samples and modify vocals; playful ode to the history of paraphernalia...

'Set on a small makeshift stage reminiscent of early 20thC fun fairs, Nancy appears right at the center of the action dressed in a dress which appears to be composed from as many sources of material as the rest of the stage. Everything seems to have come right from a Mad max movie heavily impregnated with very colorful trash aesthetics. Using the various devices intended to produced audio glitches, she manipulates a set of prerecorded pop songs as well as her own voice live on stage."
Florian Cramer and Anke Arns (2007)

fantasticosa!!!! great stuff!!!

Oh yeah I love you Baby

LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
These sound samples were curated together and made into music by the artist Marisa Olson for her project Oh. Yeah. I. Love. You .Baby. She says she created the music because these words are "...the greatest hits of lyrics in pop music. I wanted to make songs that consisted solely of those words..." click here

pulse - shapeshifting emotion visualisation

pulse is a live visualisation of the recent emotional expressions written on the private weblogs of blogger.com. these emotional expressions are parsed according to a list of synonyms and transform a physical shapeshifting object, which was created analogous to robert plutchik's psychoevolutionary theory of emotion.

sort of a delicious un-sound thing!!

Ballet mecanique (1924) Fernand Leger - Part 2

Ballet mecanique (1924) Fernand Leger - Part 1

great sound

Excerpt from Ballet Mecanique

One of the seminal films in the development of artist/musician Duke Lee was Ballet Mecanique.
The symphonic composition designed to, perhaps, accompany it was another of his great influences.
So, to celebrate, in 2000 Lee composed a new soundtrack for the film.
Here is an excerpt.

Erasing Dreamland (Accidentally Erased Bruce Conner)

"Erasing Dreamland" was created using found footage from Youtube in order to forge a digital homage to the analog techniques of the artist and film maker Bruce Conner, specifically his film "Take The 5-10 To Dreamland."

The creation of this film lead to the erasure of Bruce Conner's film from the YouTube network, "due to its content being used with out the artists permission."

The film currently exists in copyright protection limbo, as the footage sampled was legally obtained from YouTube. As outlined within the terms of use agreement associated with uploading a video to YouTube, the content of Bruce Conner's film existed outside the realm of copy protection while it was still present on their network, regardless of Conner not being the original poster of the film.

Furthermore, the copyright management status of the video enters an even stranger space upon the realization that both films were created using found footage. Conner was notorious as an artist for using found footage in his films that he would obtain at thrift shops and second hand stores (Bruce Conner Oral History). The digital recreation of "Take The 5-10 To Dreamland" was created by searching through the meta data associated with videos on YouTube and sorting through the resulting clips for bits and pieces that would sync in time with Bruce Conners's film.

'Television': La Jouissance

Subtitles adapted from the translation by Denis Hollier, Rosalind Krauss, and Annette Michelson in 'Television: A Challenge to the Psychoanalytic Establishment' - Jacques Lacan (Norton, London: 1990). Complete video (without subtitles) at ubuweb.com.

Lacan challenges Miller for assuming that Lacan has the answer to every question. Such a positioning of Lacan as a make-believe master is central to the analytic discourse in which the analysand attributes to the analyst, via the transference, the function of lost object. This lost object is, as Miller writes, prefigured by Freud's series of oral and anal 'losses' in the 'Three Essays of Sexuality', and which 'Karl Abraham made the crux of his theory of development from which he derived the first premises of the 'partial object'; Melanie Klein, his student, located the partial object at the center of psychic economy, going so far as to show that at the end of analysis, in seperating from the analyst, an analysand has to mourn the loss of this object. And whence it was that Winnicott glimpsed the transitional object. This is what Lacan sums up, condenses, justifies and constructs with object a.'

Charles Panzera - L'Invitation Au Voyage (1932)

The Swiss Baritone Charles Panzera(1896.2.16 - 1976.6.6) sings a song composed by Henry Duparc, "L'Invitation au Voyage". Lyrics written by a famous French poet, Charles Baudelaire.

-L'Invitation au Voyage-

Mon enfant, ma soeur,

Songe à la douceur
D'aller là-bas vivre ensemble !

Aimer à loisir,
Aimer et mourir
Au pays qui te ressemble !

Les soleils mouillés
De ces ciels brouillés

Pour mon esprit ont les charmes

Si mystérieux
De tes traîtres yeux,
Brillant à travers leurs larmes.

Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.

Des meubles luisants,
Polis par les ans,
Décoreraient notre chambre ;

Les plus rares fleurs
Mêlant leurs odeurs
Aux vagues senteurs de l'ambre,

Les riches plafonds,
Les miroirs profonds,
La splendeur orientale,

Tout y parlerait
À l'âme en secret
Sa douce langue natale.

Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.

Vois sur ces canaux
Dormir ces vaisseaux
Dont l'humeur est vagabonde ;

C'est pour assouvir
Ton moindre désir
Qu'ils viennent du bout du monde.

Les soleils couchants,
Revêtent les champs,
Les canaux, la ville entière,
D'hyacinthe et d'or ;

Le monde s'endort
Dans une chaude lumière...

Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.

quote from site
" MULTITUDE OF BLOGS None of the PDFs are my own productions. I've collected them from web (e-mule, avax, libreremo, socialist bros, cross-x, gigapedia..) What I did was thematizing. This blog's project is to create an e-library for a Heideggerian philosophy and Bourdieuan sociology Φ market-created inequalities must be overthrown in order to close knowledge gap. this is an
uprising, do ya punk?"

Dolly Parton's youngest Imitators

as quoted in ....WFMU "Seen below are five disturbing and bizarre photos published in Dolly Parton's 1994 biography, "Dolly: My Life And Other Unfinished Business." The pictures, presumably sent to Dolly Parton Enterprises by dopey parents, display young girls dressed as Dolly Parton. If I had to guess, I'd say they're all likely between 3 and 5 years old. As you can see, they're sporting tight dresses, make-up, garish wigs, and creepiest of all, huge bosoms. What would induce parents to allow their pre-prepubescent daughters to don such weird attire and pose for cringe-inducing photos like the ones below? I have no idea."
