"We will participate in the general elections in the autumn," head of the new "Pirate Party" Rickard Falkvinge told AFP.

This is an updated riff off The society of the spectacle by Guy Debord. Consumers become marketing data in the ebb and flow of information systems. I edited this by separating all the spoken phrases and the rearranging them. I also created groupings of rythmic patterns based on drumming and drumrolls. I can see with this piece that even though I've shuffled all the bits of the performance, the meaning still comes through. The next steps are to train myself to perform so that in the post production process the material is rich. I'm also creating a rudimentary language system of tics and patterns. All of this leads to a databased performance work that can be generated by an algorithm.

In “Gasoline,” Hubert Dobler’s first NY solo show, he assaults the polite electronic façade of our postmodern service-industry landscape with his mean machine Honda CB550 Four, 1976. It is gasoline, the return of the repressed. No brakes. Muscular energy.

rantapod-023Art is about seeking and finding a truth. Perhaps it's a small truth that is so powerful that it becomes a universal truth. In the art of the 21st century media art is the vehicle. Digital media allows you to section and repeat time. It compresses space.

*Description:*
"This is the best damn 9-11 documentary out there."
-Dave vonKleist

Producer of "911:In Plane Site" Loose Change is an extremely hard hitting, heavily referenced documentary. It has the best footage that I have seen to date, of all the bombs and explosions going off at the World Trade Center. He covers each individual aspect of 9/11 in keen detail, and after watching 'Loose Change' it is almost impossible to walk awayand not believe that 9/11 was engineered, not by Osama, but by our own Government. Heres a quote from Tom Flocco regarding Dylan Avery's brand new 911 documentary; "...The best packaged DVD footage for sharing actual TV coverage & interviews shown only once during WTC / Pentagon attacks--evidence strangely removed from repeat broadcasts ...striking visual and narrative analysis--shown frame by frame--pointing to government-linked mass murder and a new Pearl Harbor ...every school class should see ! "Loose Change 2nd Edition" is the follow-up to the most provocative 9-11 documentary on the market today. This film shows direct connection between the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the United States government. Evidence is derived from news footage, scientific fact, and most important, Americans who suffered through that tragic day.

Bay Buchanan goes on CNN and says that Americans are tired of hearing about Katrina victims. Does the Republican media machine have no shame? Here's some blogs who take issue with Bay.

New video performance work by Cary Peppermint and Christine Nadir on DVblog
