We're the greatest country in the world,
We're the richest country in the world,
we're the best country in the world,
Everybody fears us,
That's what counts.

I was down in D.C. visiting friends this weekend. We talked about the in-coming Democratic majority in Congress. They said, they don't care about you.

Artistic Truths in 21c

click image or mp4

Art 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.
The network is the medium. The only way to counteract global marketing is to tell the truth about yourself. Call them as you see them even if it means you won't be marketable.

Palm Rants - 2001

Double Image or mp4

This is an earlier rant done in June of 2001. It's a bit creepy because 2 months later 9/11 happened. What's even stranger is how the underlying messages haven't changed that much. The piece was done for palm pilots. I had the idea for creating a series of news rants back then and shipping them to PDA's. Now this is possible with rss, iPods and cellphones.

New Orleans Rant 3

CLick Image ormp4

The roads are jammed. This is a nightmare.

Don’t ask for help. There isn’t any.

The police want us to leave. Maybe we can hide from them.

I don’t want to leave my home.

The thieves’ll take everything. Oh God. Look at the wind.

The police are just as bad. Damn them. Damn. Don’t ask for help.

I’m not ready for this. That was jes the first wave.

New Orleans Rant 2

CLick Image or mp4

New Orleans is a deep disaster. America is under a dark cloud. If I was religious I'd say that George Bush was a false prophet. What happened to this great country? The thieves and liars are in control. There's no way out.

Shit. What am I gonna do. Shit

The phones dead.

I need to take a look outside.

I'm not ready for this.

Let's stay put. We're trapped.

There's no way out.

There's nothing left. It's all gone.

Gone. Gone gone gone away gone.

Did you hear that?

Protection racket. Private property. Protect your rights. Protect our position in the world. Protect our standing. So the Muslims are right about the level of disrespect. The disrespect is from the people who govern. I mean the only thing that most people have is their family and their religion. Make fun of those and you're in trouble. Talk abou-bout blasphemous. Where would Jesus put the sidewalks. Southern cracker good ol' boy, in the same shit hole with you don't give a fuck as long as you can't crawl out, Ha Ha attitude.
