Fred Worden (2008) - 1859 (Sonic Acts 2010)
Worden's stuff is scarce on YouTube. His work is mainly concerned with the persistence of vision. I won't write more, you just need to see it. I had the opportunity to see his overwhelming "When Worlds Collude" yesterday at Sonic Acts 2010.

Tao Lin is creating a "North American Hamsters" iphone application, buy your hamster here.
I read his "Shoplifting from American Apparel" this past week; fucking brilliant.

And view my response to Subbacultcha Magazine's March cover by Simon Wald-Lasowski.

My interview with DD/MM/YYYY is in the March issue of Subbacultcha! magazine. Read it here. (p. 25-7)
Shame I had a word limit, the band and I even talked about weeing on things. I love a good wee.

1. Thomas Mann (1912) - Death in Venice
2. Kenneth Anger (1963) - Scorpio Rising (Parts 2 & 3 can be found on YouTube)
I saw Tom Ford's 'A Single Man' this afternoon and these two things sprang to mind.

Daphne Oram (ca. 1968) - Oramics
I'm not going to host any downloads, but if you're clever enough, you will find her album lurking about in the big WWW. This is ear-opening good stuff. Apart from having impeccable taste in eyewear, Oram came from the Future. Oramics is the process of printing physical hand movements onto transparent film strips and passing them onto electronic photo sensors which then are converted into sound. Loadsa sciencey shit that I will never come to grips with, but the result sounds so cool.

Peter Weibel (1969) - Endless Sandwich
Make sure you throw your hands up in despair and fiddle with your computer to open the circuit.

Yesterday night, I had an epiphany when I saw Kania Tieffer. Not only is her logo a pixellated otter smoking a cigar, she screams in fake German, plays the craziest random shit off her ipod and covers Elvis' Hound Dog. Her sticker is never coming off my bicycle. Fucking hilarious and fucking brilliant.

Longing for warmer climes.

1. Stan Vanderbeek & Kenneth Knowlton (1968) - Poem Fields #2
2. Lillian Schwartz & Kenneth Knowlton (1970) - Pixillation
3. No Age - Every Artist Needs a Tragedy (by Rob)

I know a lump of YouTube videos can sometimes be tedious to watch, but I insist you watch these. I am deeply overwhelmed by a course I am taking this term, it's called Inventing the Future: Electricity and Visual Culture. Never has a three hour lecture flown by so quickly.

Hoepla (1967) - Wim T. Schippers
This Dutch programme television programme was aired three times before it was taken off the air. Not bad, not bad.
