I love getting hit, fisted, tied up, overstimulated with drugs and raped. I fall into a self hating, masochistic space very hard so I need men who are okay with that. * I mean you MUST be okay with that. ** I am lonely.

Inferior in EVERY way. He is not a MAN. NEVER will be. He is a 20yo fag. Fags philosophy. Men fuck. Fags are fucked. Face & ass. I found the act of gay sex with him to be one in which I taught his inferiority to HIM. It was the best experience I’ve had in a long time. It made me feel an ecstasy in my body that I don’t think I have felt before.

This is my younger brother Louis. We have the same father but different mothers. We grew up together and at some point we started “playing” together. Louis is gay and mentally challenged and stutters and I’m very proud of him. Unlike me, he really has a pretty ass. Even as a brother I’m weak… 😉

Hello people, last year I was the victim of serious sexual extortion where images and videos of me being used and abused at an S/M event were released to work and family members. This experience left me completely broken and I removed myself from the only life I had ever known totally.

I have thought several times about which way was best for me to die. The person whose house I’m currently staying at thinks that being hanged or strangled or even drowned might not be bad for me in terms of the pleasure it would give to another person too.

I put 4 of the extortion photos of me and possibly if you have other ideas for proposals for how I should die you can contact me by the methods indicated on my profile.

Hello

I’m isn’t your average teen. I suffer from BIID, which makes me want to have my body limbs amputated. I’m a quiet boy that likes exploring a new places and its food scene. Don’t be surprised if I brings up BIID (body integrity identity disorder) over brunch. With me, expect lively discussions and maybe some fun with a saw (surgery too, of course!). I wouldn’t has it any other way.

I’m single by the way 😉

I am neurodivergent. I might as well get that out of the way. I do not think or act like what would be considered normal behaviour all the time. I can be irrational and highly insecure, full of anxiety for no reason at all, very introverted, and may be hard to understand at all some days. If that’s a lot for you, we would not be a good match.

I was confused a lot whether I am bisexual or gay so I researched alot about it and came to a conclusion that I am actually into skeletons. I’m a huge fan of Mary Roach, she’s the blueprint. Like who wouldn’t be obsessed with someone who spoke of the joy of being a skeleton in a classroom. On the off chance that an afterlife exists, and that it includes the option of home planet visitations, I’d love to be able to pop by the med school and finally see what my bones looked like. I liked the idea that when I’m gone, my skeleton will live on in some sunny, boisterous anatomy classroom. I want to be a mystery in some future medical student’s head: Who was this boy? What did he do? How did he come to be here? So that’s I’m into. If you want sex I’ll be pretty nervous and probably not very entertaining.

You are my favorite Asian bottom of all time. Although, you never reached that final level of depravity where you were a blown out worthless cumdump in your porns, I DO wish that I could have you at that level of degredation. Honestly, I’m surprised you are still alive, knowing the life expectancy of bareback cumdump gutterslut bottoms like you.

Hi again, I was on here but my stepdad stopped all of my social media because he found out I had gay feelings and gay thoughts. I am back on line because I need to connect, I need to know what I am is OK, it’s OK to be attracted to men, guys who are alpha to me, who are more than me, more powerful and control me. I am a senior in high school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, right outside Las Vegas. I’m shy and a follower, I like feeling controlled or ordered or commanded. My stepdad’s military police so I’m used to following orders. I just finished doing hypnotherapy that my stepdad signed me up for and paid for to not be gay but my Dr. knew I was gay and instead planted things in my mind, my subconscious he says to be open, submissive and attracted to gay guys. He’s Asian Dr. so he says I’m especially attracted to Asian men and will be open with no limits to be used and owned. I also like black guys but am open to all ages and types of guys. I’m still kind of confused and everything by this feeling and attraction but I have to be open and honest and trusting. I will give my email and my cell phone to Masters, that’s what I was taught by Dr. I’m very sorry I was gone but I had no choice. My stepdad is very controlling and shut me down from all social media. If I was talking to you before I’m very very sorry and apologize for going away. I had no choice. OK, thank you for listening to me. I’m 18 and like guys.

I am for sale for $100,000.

The money goes to a man here who acts like he’s my father but he’s just related to my dead mother.

I’m from Vitosha, Bulgaria but I’m in the USA with a tourist visa valid until September. I learned from my “father” that in the US many kids disappear without leaving a trace and my expectation is to find an owner who will do that with me.

I’m not stupid, I know what I’m being asked to do, and I know that this isn’t my decision, and it also just makes me really nervous so please be patient!

Also I’m very sarcastic and that plus a monotone voice doesn’t do me any favors.

I live in Jackson, Alabama but hopefully not for long.

He is a stupidly submissive boy. He is extremely attracted to toxic or unhealthy attributes in a relationship. And he also cant help it. Make him feel stupid and inferior. Gaslight him. Play games with his head. Be as creative and sadistic as you want. Torture him psychologically and physically. Humiliate and degrade him. In public or in private. Stalk him, follow him, survey him. Constantly harass him. Never let go once you have made up your mind. Forcing him into accepting his place as worthless boy meat. Eventually he’ll stop making your dick hard, but you can’t have everything.

I’ve had the immense fortune of having sex with this breathtaking boy, this angel sent from heaven, to enjoy his presence, his beauty, so like Gustav von Aschenbach`s Tadzio in the novel “The death in Venice” (Thomas Mann). To enjoy his appearance drives you crazy and brings you into ecstasy. He makes you the happiest person alive! 100k to have this gift from god eternally is a pittance. He is priceless.

I was born in a beautiful town called Yeosu-si in South Korea. I have lived in the UK since I was 12. Each day since age 12 I have trained my body in the pool, at the gym or in performing martial arts. I have become an object and feel so blessed as men use me in ways that are painful and scary.

Having this body, I love so much to see how much pain it can take. I have known many Masters and Doms in my life who were truly creative in making me suffer. How much would you enjoy having me naked and my muscled body shaking and convulsing and screaming in pain?

The world is so splendid and there are so many things that I am excited by.
I am interesting, some may say simple minded.

Let it BE KNOWN that it would be impossible to consider myself a fag. Nothing against those who are fags, just to be honest. Not to sound full of myself either, but for me to be a fag would be a huge waste of my potential which is why I won’t be a fag, but I am still open to being dominated by fags.

Ready to move into your house and walk to the end of my last breath for you.

I am serious, but hard to find a real man into something like this. NO LONGER LOOKING, I have been purchased.

You can also remove any body part you want, deep electrocution punishments, teeth pulling, blindness and so forth. You get the point.

If you have personal fetishes about breaking bones and putting them in casts or just breaking legs you are not what I am looking for.

I am extremely heavy into being depressed and suicidal, so you have to be an expert. You love a depressed suicidal slave, you want that.

This past monday, I came accross this profile. Thought he was super cute and hot and I wanted to destroy him bad. I had a feeling that his pictures looked familiar… In a second, it hit me! The pics looked familiar because they’re pics of my nephew! The stupidest boy in my family! No job, no money, dropped out of high school, nothing! All he’s done in his life are some bartending extras, smoke tons of pot and lay … girls, I thought! My brother has thrown him out of the house six times!

I was in shock! I was totally turned on by idea of fucking and fucking up this douche. Since thursday he’s here, and holy shit, I only think of him! Totally obsessed. My brother thinks Bill, that’s the son’s name, took off again, and he’s relieved. I’m totally in the clear. What’s going to happen? Am I gonna kill him? I’d love that and I fear that at the same time! Would anyone care? Would he? I’m totally thrilled!

p.s. Hey. ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. I think everything was working fine on this end yesterday. Did you sort out the problem? ** Dominick, Hi!!! Glad you liked it. Lucky Anita. I don’t even like lying on my bed and reading. Antsy, I guess. Any chance love coerced the bookkeeper to pony up? Love making our fucking film producers who I’ve sent three emails and two texts to in the past week ago finally get back to me, G. ** Pieter, Hello, Pieter. Yes, I don’t believe I’ve ever made a post about Ffycken Smeinckx. But perhaps I should. Good luck. ** _Black_Acrylic, Very happy the post intrigued. As usual PTV2 is taking me a day or two to get to luxuriate in, but its horizon is very close. ** Bill, Hi. The post was from about 7 or 8 years ago, and I did revise it because a few of the artists in the original version had taken their videos offline since then, so I found replacements. It was originally occasioned by a Performance Cinema event at SF Cinematheque, actually. I’m very happy it interested you. SF seems to be a hotbed of Performance Cinema from what I can tell. Great about the Warmerdam post, thank you! I’m interested in Escape Rooms, but I’m not very drawn to do them, I think because the whole group participation with strangers is not so appealing to me. The best one I’ve done was in Japan, Osaka, and involved trying to escape from a Ninja Training School with ninjas popping up mysteriously all the time and trying to cut you to pieces, and it didn’t require group participation, and it was very Japanese, and it was fun to make it out alive. Are you interested in them? That article you linked to looks very interesting. I’ll read it post-p.s., thanks! ** Steve, Hot and humid already?! That’s scary. Everyone, Steve’s review of Camera Obscura’s new album LOOK TO THE EAST, LOOK TO THE WEST came out yesterday, and it’s here. I’ve been obsessed with home haunts since I was a kid, so the only difference now is that I don’t have the excuse of doing research for our film. I’ve never heard of WAX, OR THE DISCOVERY OF TELEVISION AMONG THE BEES, but I will for sure seek it out. Thanks. I get like that with writing sometimes. I suspect your first, more positive instinct re: the track is the correct one? ** Jeff J, Hi, Jeff. Thanks on both counts. Yes, Gilles has a quite passionate following and high reputation amongst the cinema serious set here. Whoa, nice trip, enjoy that. I’ve never been to Naples. Rome is amazing. I don’t know any particular tips. I always just walk around in the center and happen upon famous and sometimes not so famous ancient buildings/things relatively constantly. You’ll have fun. Great! I’m behind on new cinema apart from some things I’ve watched related to the blog posts. I’m about to watch a film by Crystal Moselle called ‘The Wolf Pack’ for my Zoom club. There’s a sneak preview next week of what is being billed as Godard’s actual final film before it world premieres at Cannes, and I’m definitely seeing that. The script is still quite early. I’m drafting out some possible characters/through-lines, and soon I’ll show them to Zac to see if he thinks I’m on the right track. But I’m excited about what I’m coming up with. Have an incredible trip if I don’t speak with you before, and, yeah, let’s Zoom when you’re back. ** Harper, Hey. Yeah, the word has always been that ‘Vineland’ is mostly missable, so that makes sense. I do want to read it just so I’ve read everything by him, and that’s the only thing left. You make it sounds interesting enough to page through at least. Thanks! Insane that Netflix turned down a new Lynch project, yes. I know he has gotten a lot of his funding and support here in France, so maybe he’ll get it green lit with local help. I’m sure someone will go for it, for Christ’s sake. Passive aggressiveness and guilt tripping are the two behavioural patterns that make my blood boil. Fuck them. Easy to say, I know. ** Dev, Hi. Yakushima is really pretty. As you probably read, it was the inspiration for Miyazaki’s ‘Princess Mononoke’. Osaka is close to Kyoto, which is really terrific. Osaka’s fun, but it’s not especially beautiful or anything. I do like Blake. I have a couple of friends who are huge fans, and I can’t say I go that far, but he’s great, singular, I really get that. I believe you about the Bible. I’ll take your word for it. ** Justin D, Hi, J. Really happy you got titillated. Me too, obviously. Um, many years ago there was an hour-long documentary about me made for Dutch television, but that’s all, I think. No, I don’t think I’ve been approached about being the subject of a documentary otherwise. There’ve been three books about my work/me, but that’s it. How are you? ** Uday, Oh, okay, let me know if you ever want a whatever from me. I’m good with whatevers. Doxx you?! Gosh, I hope they’ve gotten over that or been stopped or something. Sorry. You alright? ** Oscar 🌀, Thanks, Oscar! My weekend … uh, I saw a visiting LA friend. I hung out with Corey from right here on the blog who’s visiting Paris. I helped submit our film to a festival. I worked on some writing. Not a whole lot. Ugh, deadline meeting, yeah. My next one is imminent. Enjoy the post- period, and I hope it lingers and lingers. Warmnest Tuesday vibes back from Paris but without the currently falling rain (unless you want some rain). ** Right. It’s last day of the month, and so … guess what? You’re right. Slaves at your ‘service’. See you tomorrow.

‘The concept of performance cinema is still a fairly new and developing genre within media art that brings together experimental approaches to narrative and non-narrative film making, with live music and the performing arts. Rather than screening a traditional, linear edited film, a live cinema performance allows artists the freedom to experiment and improvise within a selection of different material, prepared video clips, audio visual samples or more generative code based plugins that can be run in VJ software such as VDMX. This freedom allows the artist to present their work as a fully live and interactive performance, adding different audio and visual effects to their material on-the-fly. These different feeds of video can be distributed across multiple screens, layered, looped and edited to create immersive, three dimensional works that are very different to a traditional cinema experience.’ — Super Everything

‘Performance Cinema: an exciting and emergent genre of avant-garde moving-image art which represents a crucial attack on the sterility of the contemporary, digitally-located media environment, arguing for the embodied, collective consideration of real-time, site-specific media experiences. Through mis-used or modified analog film projectors, live video synthesis and physical interaction with the media interface, performance cinema practitioners variously burn, etch, mutilate and destroy projected film, machinery and the image itself. Performance Cinema practitioners create immersive spectacles of sight and sound, opening a space for questioning and contemplating visual culture through direct activation of the senses. As a dynamic, regenerating and resurrecting media experience, Performance Cinema exists only in the moment of perception and is truly an art of its time.’ — San Francisco Cinematheque

Jürgen Reble & Thomas Köner Materia Obscura
‘A doorway to the world of dark and unperceivable materials, using Jürgen Rebles 25,000 scans of 16 mm chemograms. A visual expedition into crystalized salts and dyes, showing the bizarre richness and beauty of films materiality. The quadraphonic staging of Materia Obscura expands the performance space, where the horizontal flow of time meets the sonic impulse. Thomas Köners music floats at the borders of perception, as if it is a means of communicating with the beyond.

‘Thomas Köner (DE) and Jürgen Reble (DE) have been working together since 1992 in the fields of film, installation and performance. Thomas Köner studied electronic music and extended his concept of time and sound colour to images, resulting in video installations, photography and net art. The works of film alchemist Jürgen Reble are often rooted in the manual processing of film footage using mechanical and chemical influences.’ — jacquestourneur

Trinchera Ensemble Bis Repetita Placent & Livor Mortis
‘La Trinchera (the Trench) is an ensemble of artists who execute live audio-visual improvisations using analog technology, mainly with 16mm projectors. Operating as an impulse generator and calling out for experimentation in a “free fire zone,” this clash of individual creativity provokes a sense of immediacy with visual situations, to create unique kinetic experience generated through the fusion of image and sound converging in a particular space at a particular time. Since 2004, La Trinchera has taken its expanded cinema performances around the world including to the Museums Quartier and the Essl Museum, Vienna; the Engelman-Ost Collection, Uruguay; the CCEBA, Argentina; the 8th Festival des Cinémas Différents de Paris; the Laboratorio de Arte Alameda and the Museo de Arte Carillo Gil, Mexico City; FLEXfest, Gainsville FL; and Antimatter Media Art Festival, Canada.’ — SF Cinematheque

Patrick Hébrard Splitting Time
‘ A place : a cistercian abbey. Walls, doors, windows, rooms, pillars, a park, trees, a pond… A man and a woman are walking together in this same park. Something, a presence behind each of them, will tear them appart. The woman on one side, the man on the other : one dancing soul. They will relive, reluctantly, the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.’ — Midralgar

Scott Arford Beware of the Image
‘This is an expansion and re-visioning of audio/video noise performances that I made between 1995-1999, many of which were presented at the Lab. The political/cultural context of current San Francisco feels hauntingly similar to the period when these were made. At that time, the Dot Com boom was in full swing, carrying with it in equal parts, a dystopian dread and a techno-utopian optimism. Google was just one of many competing search engines, a generation of tech workers were making their first fortunes, emerging technologies promised to empower us as individuals. At the same time, artist warehouses and art spaces were struggling to survive – many lost their leases to skyrocketing rents and venture capital funded startups. Long-standing communities suffered, and small businesses were forced out. The emotions and struggles from this period are being replayed now in a frighteningly similar fashion, the sites of this struggle are the same. This work comes from that uncertain moment.

‘For me, the work is particularly important because it expands upon an experiment that was never truly completed. Flickering and strobing linear analog video, radio noise and TV static…. I don’t know what to call it, but it was raw and unfiltered. Searing but beautiful, like staring at the sun. With the technological revolution, video and audio became digital, non-linear. Resolutions expanded, screens flattened, effects became slicker, and the cathode ray tube disappeared. Everything became, well… focused. And with that a particular type of expression vanished. I want to bring this work to a new generation of San Franciscans, struggling with moral, ethical, financial, and practical decisions that affect our city, its future, and the technological narratives now being written.’ — Scott Arford

Michael A. Morris Second Hermeneutic & Third Hermeneutic
‘Second Hermeneutic is the second in a series of works that explore the nature of interpretation. In this case, a pair of 16mm projections are overlapped while being captured by an HD video camera. The analog component signal is fed into an audio mixer without any further filtering. All audio in the piece is produced by the camera’s output. The video waveform is manipulated by the film projection to produce a real-time, synaesthetic cinematic experience using the artifacts of one medium interpreting another as raw material.

‘Third Hermeneutic is the third work in the continuing series of expanded cinema performances exploring the hermeneutical process as it might be applied to cinema and technology. In this entry, the text-based filmic image is overlaid with a digital video projection that is controlled by custom software. The hybrid moving image is re-interpreted by the computer to control immersive audio synthesis. The viewer is questioned about her relationship to history, meaning-making, and cinematic experience.’ — Michael Morris

Le Révélateur Fakeaway Haptics (excerpt) & Mirages
‘Le Révélateur started in 2008 as a solo venture for Montreal-based electronic musician Roger Tellier-Craig. It has since then expanded into an audio-visual duo with the inclusion of video artist Sabrina Ratté in 2010. Together they explore a common fascination for the combination of electronic image and sound, using a varying array of digital and analogue technologies. They have performed extensively in Europe and North America, presenting their work at Museu Serralves in Porto, RIXC Festival in Riga, the Lampo series in Chicago, Resonate Festival in Belgrade, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, Digital Quebec (Mutek/Elektra) in London, Sonic Acts in Amsterdam, Pop Montreal, Sight+Sound in Montreal, Send+Receive in Winnipeg, Micro Mutek in Barcelona, Mutek.Mx in Mexico, Mutek in Montreal, On Land in San Francisco, as well as touring through Europe with Black To Comm and No UFO’s in April/May 2015. They have also shared bills with Ben Frost, Robert A. A. Lowe, Pete Swanson, Caterina Barbieri, Pulse Emitter, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Steve Hauschildt, Forma, Xela, Ricardo Donoso, Oneohtrix Point Never, Greg Davis, Hair Police and many more.’ –LR

Nervous Magic Lantern (Ken Jacobs & Aki Onda) 2007
‘Ken Jacobs has long been a restless innovator, and his rebellious projection performance apparatus known as the Nervous Magic Lantern is a development that would not have been out of place in the pre-cinematic era of prestidigitation and exotic attractions. Working without film or electronics, the Nervous Magic Lantern uses lightweight fans and an exterior spinning shutter – along with the hands and creative mind of an active projectionist – to fill the screen with moving 3D forms that can be seen from every possible angle, no special glasses required. A breathtaking and all-around mystifying head/body experience, Jacobs surmises that, “It’s the cinema that should’ve happened following live shadow play.” After years of committed research and development, it is clearer than ever before that Jacobs’s Nervous Magic Lantern is a direct outgrowth from his early training in the 1950s with abstraction pioneer Hans Hofmann. In a sense, this latest body of work is as much a return to painting as it is another step deeper than ever before into the depths of the moving image.’ — NML

Scott Stark Traces
‘Worldly surfaces, shifting shadows and overlooked patterns: a series of short 35mm films generated from digital still images and printed onto movie film. The top and bottom half of each image alternate in the projector gate, arranged in a dizzying array of rhythms and patterns. The images also bleed onto the optical soundtrack area of the film, generating their own unexpected sounds.’ –jkl

Karl Lemieux + BJ Nilsen Yujiapu
‘Karl Lemieux’s (CA) films, installations, and performances have screened internationally in museums, galleries, music venues and film festivals. He is more commonly known as the ninth member of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, a Montreal music collective for which he does live 16mm film projections. His collaborations include works with sound artists such as Philip Jeck, BJ Nilsen, Francisco Lopez, Roger Tellier-Craig and Alexandre St-Onges. Together with Daïchi Saïto he founded Double Négatif, a Montreal-based collective, dedicated to the production and dissemination of experimental films.

‘BJ Nilsen (SE) is a Swedish composer and sound artist based in Berlin and London. His work is primarily focused on the sounds of nature and how they affect humans. His two latest solo albums, released by Touch, Eye Of The Microphone (2013) – based on the sound of London – and The Invisible City (2010), explore the urban acoustic realm. He has collaborated with Chris Watson on Storm and Wind, also released by Touch (2006, 2001). His original scores and soundtracks have featured in theatre and dance performances and film, including Microtopia and Test Site (2013, 2010, dir. Jesper Wachtmeister), Enter the Void (2010, dir.

Kerry Laitala Electric Salome & Afterimage
‘Kerry Laitala is an award-winning moving-image artist who uses analog, digital, and hybrid forms to investigate the ways in which media influences past and present culture. She considers this type of approach to making art a type of media archeology. Laitala’s work resides at the crossroads of science, history, and technology, and her uncanny approach to evolving systems of belief manifests through an array of media including films, videos, installations, photographic works, performances and kinetic sculpture. She studied Photography and Film at Massachusetts College of Art and received her Masters degree in Film from the San Francisco Art Institute.’ — KL

Raha Raissnia Free Way
‘Tehran-born, Brooklyn-based artist Raha Raissnia works in film, painting, and drawing, with each medium informing the other. Her film works are the result of an iterative approach: footage shot on Super-8, 16mm, digital, and even mobile phone is manipulated in the studio; Raissnia projects the footage onto paintings and screens, integrating found materials and additional film and digital imagery, and refilms the whole to yield densely layered celluloid films. These films, in turn, are often screened superimposed with handmade slides or fashioned into film loops that Raissnia manually manipulates on projectors, which take on the role of instruments. One recent body of work, derived from video recordings of East Harlem street scenes, oscillates between keenly observed portraits, by turn stoic and vibrant, and the sublime nature abstracted images achieve through texture and rhythm.’ — MoMA

Malic Amalya Towards the Death of Cinema
‘Accompanied by a live synthesizer score, projected 16mm film melt and burn from the heat of a film projector. Cutting off the sprocket holes located on the edge of the film frames, the projector’s forward momentum is bypassed. In the path of the bulb for longer than 1/24th of a second, the film warps, smokes, and bursts.

‘Individual film frames document cycles of destruction, resilience, and transformation within the Bay Area. Shots include the abandoned Parkway Theater in Oakland, closed in 2009; filmmaker Mary Helena Clark in her Berkeley studio; the Black Hole Cinematheque in Oakland, founded by Tooth; historical images of the 1906 San Francisco fire; pool tides in the remaining structure of the Sutro Baths, first built in 1896 and knocked down by arson in 1966; and the dormant Woodminster amphitheater, built in the late 1930’s under Roosevelt’s New Deal project.

‘If, as Paulo Cherchi Usai argues, “cinema is the art of destroying moving images,”* Towards the Death of Cinema expedites this inherent process of destruction for the viewing audience to witness in real time.’ — MA

Sally Golding Spirit Intercourse & An Other Face: Spell for Living and Dying
‘Spirit Intercourse: Composed with light sensitive audio devices, handmade synthesizers, a voice sampler, and a contact microphone on a 16mm projector, the audio recording surmises moments experienced during the live performance of expanded cinema. The visual track mimics and interferes with these ideas – toy lights, torch and strobe lights shine directly into the lens of a smartphone camera to interrupt the video frame rate, making visible the shutter as system detritus. The vocals give the title to the track – abstracted from the pages and spines of dusty tomes referencing the Victorian Spiritualist movement.

‘An Other Face: In autoscopic hallucination, one sees one’s self as an external object, which can lead to the delusion that one has a double. In folklore and literature, the double (or doppelganger) is a symbolic embodiment of a troubled self or a phantom, and is a means of examining one’s own existence – be it as alive or dead. However, in the everyday, autoscopic hallucination is a form of dangerous disorientation. Previously, Golding has addressed autoscopic hallucination by projecting images onto her own body while exploring a variety of optical functions, such as reflection and refraction. In An Other Face, she projects onto the spectator, making them a screen – an integral component of the work. Such reorganisation of cinematic elements into installation form redesigns the cinematic viewing experience, exposing the typically locked process of beam-audience-screen.’ — OtherFilm

Lee Hangjun + Hong Chulki Cracked Share
‘It is in the spirit of an experience and experiment that Hang Jun Lee’s «The Cracked Share» must be viewed. Seized in moments of visual detachment during periods of emotional contact, these images are oxidized residues of fixed light and chemical elements of transformed from living organisms. No plastic expression can ever be more than a residue of the experience and yet, the residue is the recognition of the experience, loss permeates the work and yet somehow the experience endures, recalling the event more or less clearly, like the undisturbed ashes of an object consumed by flames. The recognition of this object, so little representative and so fragile, speaks to us of this artist’s isolation. «The Cracked Share» is quite wonderfully dense and visceral in nature … it looks as though the work has been doubly manipulated organically and digitally, yet the work still retain its organic nature through its alchemical orientation…the sense of visual rhythm is well paced and the appropriated footage of the Astronauts / Pornographic actor /Horse in “The Cracked Share” is wonderfully imaginative and fluid…an ocular alkahest’ — Carl E. Brown, Visual alchemy 2008

‘Film is disintegrated by various urea by strong oxidizing chemical agents. The compound (usually, we call it that is film emulsion) resolves itself into its elements. Swingback to isolationism, unconcealment the film material itself…….Film is just a tensile strength between emulsion and base. I found new laws of particle motion investigating condition its physical chemistry attribute. I reworked image by various chemical that sodium & potassium is included and adjustment of hydrogen ion concentration is available. Work that is oxidized again silver particles that is gotten restored through film developer in darkroom….do me to reach in new state. I began to examine…about that experience talks to me at the point justly. Title of this work is inspired from Georges Bataille “Accursed share”‘ — Hangjun LEE

Bruce McClure the harmonic condenser enginium
‘Bruce McClure’s immersive 16mm projector performances use the phenomena of visual flicker and its sonic equivalents to create an experience of ecstatic reverie. Polyrhythmic light and sound signals generated by flickering film loops are intricately coaxed through retrofitted projectors and thrown against a wall of high intensity strobe light tuned with multiple guitar effects pedals. Robert Smithson’s 1971 proposal for a truly underground ‘cinema cavern’ for an audience seated on boulders was the starting point for yet another intrepid cave exploration. The work was presented in two parts: ‘A Cinematic Atopia – The Process of its Construction’ was a day long installation that divided the Level 1 space at BALTIC into two viewing chambers; and ‘the harmonic condenser enginium’ was the ensuing evening performance.’ — AV Festival

p.s. Hey. ** Charalampos, Hi, and happy week. Yes, John was the guy pictured in the memorial photos in ‘PGL’. I hope you’re picked up now. When I dig into Aaliyah, I’ll let you know what I think. But don’t expect too much because I’m suspecting her thing is not so much thing. But we’ll see! Hi back from almost always cogent Paris. ** Steve, Good news! About your better state of mind. Oh, cool, I look forward to ‘I Saw the TV Glow’. I haven’t talked Gisele in more than a year. I know she’s busy touring her latest piece. Our meet-up got delayed until this Friday, so I can let you know more after that. No, I’ve had no contact with David. He seems to be very offline. A mutual friend says he’s doing ok, but I don’t know more than that. I hope to see him when I get to LA soonish to screen ‘RT’ for the cast and crew. ** Bill, Hey, hey, Bill. Yes, I am still very, very interested in the Alex van Warmerdam post. That would be great! Thank you! ** Uday, Hi. I’m not surprised that mini-golf and calculus have little in common. I’m not good at math. In high school, when we got to Geometry, I got too confused and kind of mentally bailed on the genre. I mean, silk has its place? I’m sure you looked resplendent. Yes, I would email a little doodle in, but what do you mean by doodle? But, yes, I would/will. Thank you for wanting. ** _Black_Acrylic, ‘PA’ is big fun, and I’m not even from around there. My ears, my ears! Awesome! Everyone, It’s Play Therapy v2.0 time again and not a moment too soon, courtesy of Ben ‘_Black_Acrylic’ + ‘Jack Your Body’ Robinson. Here he is. Hit the link if you know what’s what. ‘The new episode of my show is available here via Tak Tent Radio. This installment of Play Therapy v2.0 runs the gamut from Electro Punk freakout to blissful Ambient tranquility. All ideology here is open to debate and we cannot guarantee your safety!’ ** Dominik, Hi!!! It is. I think George’s friend has bailed on me. But that’s been the story of this quest to find George people. A bit of a cursed outreach, I fear. You’re not a bath person either, cool. Whenever I’ve had to lie in a bath I get bored within five seconds. Same with hot tubs. Teleportation would, of course, come in so extremely handy, so love proves the value of his intuitive powers yet again. Love proving or disproving the claim by one of my ex-boyfriends that he had sex with Billy Joe from Green Day true or not even though I don’t suppose I actually care either way, just curious, G. ** Harper, Hi, H. Oh, right, the film’s not out yet. Duh. I too liked the ‘Inherent Vice’ film. Imagine a world where a TV series adaptation of ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ would get green lit by Netflix or wherever. I can’t imagine that world. Although Season 3 of ‘Twin Peaks’ got green lit, so … hm. But it didn’t have scat in it as far as I could tell. Hm. Well, not being there in your flat, I still think they probably don’t hate you because hate is pretty big, and I can’t imagine you doing something hateful, so maybe they’re just wary of you or something, which is actually a powerful position to be in. I don’t know, you just don’t seem like a hateful guy. I vent all time. Just not here. Here I just occasionally leak a little of my stress, but I try not to. Venting is pretty key. I encourage you, and I’m down with being venting’s proximate person, in your case at least. ** Okay. Today your attention is directed towards the experimental film sub-genre of Performance Cinema. The problem is that it’s an ‘in-person’ only experience, and here we are, stuck on this blog. But I guess I’m suggesting that you check out the evidence at hand and use your fine imaginations. Anyway, that’s today’s deal. See you tomorrow.
