    Between a masonic pigpen and DCT
    Dear DCT
    You may call me an archaic old quiff
    But I still believe that nothing has more aura than the invisible
    So here I am, nostalgic for the secrecy and non-seeing
    With my biggest fear my expiration date: when they would understand my alliances,
    and my cycle over groom waters
    becomes encyclopaedic
    You, my dear DCT are not nice to me
    Why do you mock my quest for radical freedom?
    Dear Masonic Pigpen
    it is a hard question: how not to be visible.
    Does it mean not to reflect
    or not to emit a signal?
    It seems to you it just means that
    She cannot own the signs.
    No cypher, encryption or any form of secrecy is permanent
    As the once radical enigma fell through a dumb ìhelloî
    We are all bound to become informed materials
    Products of semiotic de/territorialization
    Progressively enriched by information.
    I celebrate obfuscation
    Inside a liminal space build on RLE and err
    The conditions becoming readable to the OCR are flippant
    [[But]]
    You do not need to be a decommissioned Ourobouros
    Because every time a new way of seeing is constructed,
    A new prehistory will be generated —
    And then we are in freespace again

    Hippie Atom Test

    Paul Hertz

    “Hippie Atom Test is an animation that plays on themes of broken cultural memory presented in my Glitch Nation series of still images. Taking its images from government and news media archives, history textbooks, and vacation snapshots, Glitch Nation uses glitch as a metaphor for the processes by which we record, forget, mythologize, discard, recast, contradict and reconstruct our collective experiences in order to make some kind of sense of the world. Most of the images are involved with my own experiences coming of age in the United States. I was a grade school student during the 50s, drilled in hiding in the school basement in case of nuclear attack. Hippie Atom Test is an attempt to come to terms with the terrors that were taught to me as safety procedures—utterly absurd and horrific in their implications, and almost certainly useless—by otherwise reasonable people.” -PS

    What actually matters? Knocking down the playground.
    Why? We’re going to build anew. Why? Its exciting.
    But what about this? Couldn’t this be better too? 

    For Commercial Break, a dozen contemporary commercials are frankenstein’d to make new propagandistic narratives for sixty-second public broadcast.

    “Hot Beach Babe Aims to Please is a seamless loop of bikini-cad Mayer walking in and out of the ocean. As soon as she enters the camera’s frame, a swarm of computer cursor arrows follow and stalk her as she moves. The pattern that the cursors assume in this video is based off eye-tracking research websites.” -JM

    Nothing Stops What’s now in Motion

    Jeroen Nelemans

    The title is taken from a line of narration in the documentary film Microcosmos: le peuple de l’herbe (1996). This is one of the first films known for its poetic and dramatic use of close-ups of insects, with amplified sound effects. The subtle narrative of the film is de-stabilized, by separating each close-up as an individual clip and downsizing them to a 20/20 vision. The resulting audio of this piece is an amalgamation of the sounds from each individual clip. Each clip is looped and is organized in chronological order from left to right, creating a continuous “filmstrip” that acts itself like a specimen.

    Dir: Lucy Pawlak
    Cinematography: Joaquin Del Paso
    2015

    Matrix Poppin’ Bot, your very own robotic nanny , has 3 modes –  Parent,  Best Friend and  Teacher. She has a bump sensor, built-in CCTV, as well as touch, pain and temperature sensors on her head, arms and wheels. 

    Here’s what some REAL PARENTS say:

    “She’s so life-like they’re gunna have to invent a whole new category between animate and inanimate!”

    “Poppin’ Bot banishes the ‘dull and dirty’ work of childcare.”  

    “My little one’s even started talking like her – it’s so cute!”

    “Poppin’ bot gives me the best of both worlds, my kids are 100% happy and I can give 100% to my work.”

    “No more changing nappies, no more bathing, no more dressing, no more feeding.”

    The video poses as a sort of commercial. It has the ingredients of popular media, bright lighting, and a familiar product, but I see it more as a reexamination of the image’s desire. Dreamer might be what the product wants; not to be consumed, but to bathe in the media influences.

    Pickled examines the ephemeral in a time based media by destroying photographs through a chemical process. The video shows the photo emulsions breaking down as the moment itself breaks down until nothing remains.
