Friday Videos - Sept 16th, 2016

I have no idea what that Nicolas Cage GIF is from and I don't want to know. My ignorance allows my imagination to conjure any number of situations in which this may have occured and they are all infinitly better than finding out it's just a loop from a movie. Ignorance truly is bliss when concerning Nicolas Cage.
  • Rapping ToastDogs - my expectations were low and my enjoyment was off the charts. HT @misscrisp
  • Leafblower Volcano - I can't help but think I've seen this before but the finale was such a treat it's worth reseeing.
  • Yaaas Pokemon - perfectly stupid.
  • Phantom of Paradise - every few years, this Brian de Palma film comes through my life and I'm reminded how empty my life is for still not having watched the entire thing.
  • Wake Me Up - can you tell that I've been diving back into YouTube Haiku?
  • Phil Lynott - Old Town - I was not until recently that I learned the singer of Thin Lizzy had some solo material. It's good. Real good. Thanks Austin.
  • Dancing Man - my buddy Jamie is coming into town this weekend and there's nothing he enjoys more than an enthusiastic dance expression. This is for him.
I also really enjoyed this and this but didn't want to overwhelm you with absurd short clips. Or maybe I do.

David Lynch - Rabbits

posted September 16, 2016 #

By pure happenstance, I found myself watching David Lynch documentaries on YouTube late into the night this week. If you haven't seen this Jonathan Ross piece, For One Week Only, find some time soon to indulge. It's such a great bit of history on Lynch and his earlier body of work.

Part of this immersion led me to Rabbits, a 42 minute film that Lynch refers to a sitcom. Portions of it show up during Inland Empire but as a standalone piece it's brutally weird to watch. It's insanely slow, it's stilted, it's awkward and not a lot happens.. but when something does happen, it's hard to look away.

While I have a hard time recommending watching it, I do think it's as wonderful as it is weird. Watching the early Lynch documentary is a nice reminder that he's a weirdo but a charming one; which adds a nice bit of levity to strange undertakings like this one.

Juno Calypso, Joyce

posted September 16, 2016 #

British photographer Juno Calypso has a phenomenal portfolio of works, largely comprised of self-portraits. The Joyce series from 2011 kicked off her interest in playing a fictional part instead of herself. She later resurrected the character in 2015 for The Honeymoon Series in which `Joyce` finds herself alone in a Pennsylvania love hotel. There's some sexually charged images throughout but nothing too tawdry. The art direction and color palettes depicted throughout are perfect and just the right amount of creepy.

This interview provides some great insight into her process and her purpose. After reading through all that, be sure to watch the video installations... wonderful stuff.

Create a Lacroix

This My LaCroix "Create a Can" application is some good, dumb, fun. Recolor the can, come up with your own flavor sensation, share it or just browse the best creations. It's extremely reminiscent of the early 2000's Flash applications that did almost the exact same thing (aka Build a Nike Shoe) but this is done entirely in HTML, CSS and JS on the frontend. That may not mean much to most but it's pretty dang impressive from where I'm sitting.

You Have Nothing To Worry About.

posted September 14, 2016 #

This somewhat controversial photo series from Melissa Spitz intimately documents her relationship with her mentally ill, bipolar, substance-abusing mother (warning: some NSFW images). Is it exploitative? Is it unhealthy for the mother? There are a surprising amount of strong opinions on the matter.

To get some better context on the whole undertaking, read this supplemental Broadly article that gives much needed color to the project. Not having much experience with the mentally ill myself, I can't imagine the complexity of the relationship.

I have yet to play it but if this trailer is any indication, I will fully enjoy the experience of Nightgate; an iOS puzzle game presented as a retro-future supercomputer network exploration. Downloadable here.
