This was made as part of the Arts Council funded Blipvert Project in 1997, so it was one of six commissioned pieces cut into the ads at independent cinemas and was seen in that context by an audience of something like three quarters of a million people. It was shot at 50 Beck Road in Hackney (since I appear in it, Nick Abrahams was operating the camera) and edited at Artec at Highbury Corner. It was intended for cinema screening and the "alienation effect" that is integral to it doesn't work outside that context, so it is placed here as a curiousity. This was an attempt to distill the lettrist cinematic experiments of the early 1950s (and in particular the feature length pieces "Has The Film Already Started", "Anti-Concept" and "Screams In Favour Of De Sade") into 45 seconds. Proletarian post-modernism lives on...

Nov 18, 2008 - yes i think it fits. data is the means of transforming the data mine into data - a simulcrum - a varient of baudri-alien method that uses actions rather than data as a means of expanding meaning ad absurdum. . by looking at the people around you you become the mine you are the nimed you are the tada. go on!

Nov 18, 2008 - oh but I look even better when I take it off!

Nov 18, 2008 - Who were you fighting?
stewarthome Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - myself, my beautiful self....
jimixsx Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Well I know. I had a run in with my bad self the other day round the back of the ice cream van there and last week I inadvertently interrupted my inner being in the act of tea-leafing a copy of 'Better YouTube Comments' magazine from WH Smiths on the High Street right in plain view of the cameras.
stewarthome Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Yeah I heard "Better YouTube Comments" magazine paid Smiths a fortune for that promo display at the front of the shop and then didn't sell, sent them right into bankruptcy, which is a shame coz we could do with better comments on YouTube....
jimixsx Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Well they were facing tough competition from 'YouTube Syntactical Energy' magazine which comes with a cover-mounted doovde.
stewarthome Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - oh I seem to have missed that one, most of my attention was taken up by a copy of "The Bread Doll Fancier"....
jimixsx Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I filled in the coupon in issue 4 and handed it to my newsagent but the next thing I knew the shop had changed ownership and is now a bread shop. Coincidence? Or a vast underground mind-control conspiracy taking in major celebrities and minor politicians? We'll find out in the august issue of 'Meta-Escatology' magazine which comes with a cover-mounted 'Whizz-Bang' and two sweets.

Nov 18, 2008 - if I was you I'd get the magazine with the free half toilet roll... you can never have too much bog roll....
jimixsx Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Oh they'd never stock that in my local newsagents. Even with a demi-roll of shitwipe, it's still gonna reduce the amount of mags you can put in a box since there's no way you can just tape them up. These economies of scale make it more likely I'll have to bag a couple of copies of Esoteric Needlecraft, this month with a free gram of crack and a stitching-guard
stewarthome Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - crazy ain't it!
stewarthome Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - well watch out for your crack if your newsagents won't stock magazines with free half rolls of bog rag....
