99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A thing is happening.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Beauty's at work through 
pure and selfless acceptance,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
through everyday transcendence
that remedies the chaos,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
an antidote to the sorrow 
on this earth for eternity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Music heard so deeply 
that it is not heard at all.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You are the music while the music lasts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Insist on beauty in spite of everything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Decorum.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As I'm walking, I see 
you on your motorbike.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can see your blue eyes 
and nose peering underneath

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the crash helmet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it's not you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's just a man that looks like you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm disappointed every time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Every time I see a man on a motorbike,
I think it's my dad.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not sure why this is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes I forget 
what your bike looks like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everyone's eyes and faces 
look the same underneath

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
black crash helmets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From a distance, everyone looks like you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Although soon I realize it's not.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I remember you used 
to paint pictures of naked women

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in crash helmets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Their identities were hidden too.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I always wondered who these women were,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
their shiny black round heads 
like lollipops.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Props.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Who were they, dad?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(inhales softly)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(exhales softly)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(silence until 1:54)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Breath.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(approaching footsteps)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A laughing heart...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Your life is your life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't let it be clubbed into submission.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's light somewhere.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It may not be much light, 
but it beats the darkness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Be on the watch.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The gods will offer you chances.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Know them. Take them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can't beat death, 
but you can beat death in life sometimes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the more often you learn to do it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the more light there will be.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Your life is your life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Know it while you have it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You are marvelous.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The gods wait to delight in you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Rascal was a wildcat 
when it was four degrees outside.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I moved in she'd stand 
with me in winter and rain,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sleep with me, mostly outside.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hunter, I never tried to break her spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hit by a car in front of me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was shocked.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I buried her by cat litter and wild food,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
her sunshine place 
could only dig the stones

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because of city sewage pipes 
about three or four feet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I wish it was deeper, next to keep 
other animals from digging her up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I find stones, I'll cover her up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[?] began to swell.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If so, I'll put more soil on top.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
First, cat and friend.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hi. Yeah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I saw you last night. Hmm.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was in the club. Yup.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I saw who you were with too.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She was holding you so tight.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because she knows you want me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, naw. She can't love you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She can't love you like I do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I said to myself that 
you must be out of your mind.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You were there with somebody else.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know you're wasting your time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, no.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But she can't love you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She can't love you like I do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're missing my beat
and I needing your moves.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's give it one more try.
Let's get back in the groove.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because she can't love you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She can't love you like I do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I was younger, 
my father was the producer

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of a transvestite troupe
and it seemed a dream for me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be able to observe 
what was behind the curtain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think this is when it all started,
while growing up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I kept on searching 
for this feeling of wonder,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this taste for metamorphosis.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I [direct speak] of cabarets,
shows are even strange.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From video to another, 
off the same protagonist progresses

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in this mysterious 
and phantasmagorical universe.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I consider my videos as living paintings.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I use the camera 
as a painter with his brushes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What could my world be made of?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Red. Green. Blue.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Red. Green. Blue.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Red. Green. Blue.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you want to turn yourself 
into a proud samurai warrior,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you need the katana samurai sword.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This high-quality plastic weapon 
is a Japanese long sword

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which will look just perfect 
with your traditional Japanese hakama.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the traditional Japanese geta.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And add the finishing touch 
to your Asian outfit:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the black and gold katana samurai sword

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
comes with a matching black scabbard

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so it can be stored safely.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Japanese sword 
will protect you in fights

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and is sure to make you 
an eye-catcher in any party.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Size length, 105 centimeters.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Blade length, 70 centimeters.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Material, plastic.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, so... a couple years ago

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a bunch of us went down to the beach

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and we got there and coast guards running

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all up and down the sand like,
"You can't get in the water."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Screaming at us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So we waited a bit and they went 
further down the beach

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then we decided we would go.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, what the fuck?
Why did we come here?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So my buddy went down there and he's like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"All good, come down here, man."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I walked over and we looked down.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And we couldn't see it 
from where we were parked,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but when we looked down, 
we were really close.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You looked down and there 
just all these fucking jellyfish.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, one every... like all over the place.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One every two or three feet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And from where we were standing,
you couldn't really tell

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if they were living or dead, you know?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
'Cause some of them were still moving,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but then others were just totally limp.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So... tell me what it's like 
growing up in Singapore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well, we had... I had 
these really magnificent memories

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of my childhood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We had these magnificent playgrounds.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There was, like, these big watermelons.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I remember I used to climb 
to the top of the watermelon

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I'd rub myself on the ridges

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to give myself pleasure.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You think we could fall 
in love on the internet?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
'Cause it wouldn't be love.
It'd just be porn.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't think so.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Seem] from a distance,
almost everything looks beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As the distance increases, 
the more you romanticize.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All the small details from 
the everyday reminisces the past.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because things we want to forget 
are the thing we can never forget.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
DO IT!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
JUST DO IT!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't let your dreams be dreams.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yesterday you said tomorrow.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So just DO IT!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Make your dreams come true!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just DO IT!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some people dream of success
while you're gonna wake up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and work hard at it!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nothing is impossible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You should get to the point
where anyone else would quit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you're not gonna stop there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No, what are you waiting for?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
DO IT!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just... DO IT!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yes, you can!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just do it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're tired of starting over,
stop giving up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Emerging gaming technologies 
operate within a nexus

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of social relationships that 
characterize the modern world.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These technologies enable 
a constant commentary

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which has become 
the quintessential quality of power,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
often operating as mechanisms 
that dictate our action

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and pre-ordain our expectations.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The work interrogates 
the cultural logic of feedback

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as a metaphor and material condition.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is live, cybernetic, reactive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sensory data translated 
through visual and tactile apparatus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Disillusion of the virtual 
and corporeal boundary,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
reorienting perspective of the existing
and the alternative space and time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
An avatar in symbiosis with the subject,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
taking the lead in a continuous loop 
of action and reaction.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're surrounded by forms.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yet it's still so elusive, right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know, sometimes it feels 
like we fill that void between us

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with something that grows slowly,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like it's overtaking us or something.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Through the way we speak,
or what we do,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where we put stuff around us,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even the stances we inhabit
or the faces we make

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or even the body parts, you know?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The food we eat. Whatever.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes it gets heavier, you know?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or more light, but 
it's like all the distinctions

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are starting to melt away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The forms, the resemblances,
the symmetries,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the repetitions, the patterns.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Patterns that we know we have always had,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that have always been there
and we're not sure why.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And now... the outside looks 
more and more like the images

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that were contained in us 
since the beginning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hi. Thank you for waiting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We've been running 
a little bit behind today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As you know, we've taken a few readings

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and these get sent away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We have a look at them.
We meet, a group of us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Many years of experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We have a look and we see what we can see.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Does that make sense?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If I ju--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you just have a look here, really...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The system's really slow, 
so it's a case of monitoring.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you monitoring 
and you just letting us know

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you notice anything unusual.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Would you be able to do this?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hmm?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You have any questions?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Double.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Double sided.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Minds. Different paths.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One runs after sunlight,
one follows the rising moon.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They either congregate, 
connect, intersect, touch,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
unite at sunset for eclipses...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
play and then separate 
for long interstices.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Later, re-enacting past meetings 
forever lost in repetition.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ebb and flow, edging closer.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Expanding warmth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That point just before the pressure bursts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Capillary rush.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tension. Resisting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Each muscle, each limb, 
each breath under control for now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Questions of limitations 
dissolve into the blur.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Eyes open, but horizons fall away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The burn increases now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Shia grunts)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The pain sensors...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one of you escapes, but I pull you back.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Heh. Duality.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Existing only as a whole.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Weakened by quivering joints.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lungs push for release,
a struggle to hold on.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Control surrendered, suspended in dullness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Eyes close.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now numb.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Running, reaching, falling, 
skipping, turning, sliding, walking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These are all words 
that describe ways of moving.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Each action is packed 
with many micro-movements.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's hard for us to recognize 
these small movements individually.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When describing how to walk, 
we use the simplest terms possible

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and struggle to explain all 
the mechanics of a simple movement.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Understanding body movement 
in the terms of everyday language

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
should be simple, however 
our muscle memory takes over

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for our brain and our body 
becomes a strange system

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of levers and pulleys 
that maneuver by our command.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She sits.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I squirt toothpaste in my mouth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I start to brush.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She's looking at me.
I look at her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I keep brushing whilst looking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'll start looking at her.
She looks at me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I continue to brush, 
getting faster, getting harder.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I start to gag.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My eyes leak and I still look at her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She looks at me and I keep brushing, gaggin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Am I gonna be sick?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Gagging! Paste down my face, 
my hair, on my shirt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dripping, and I still look at her
and she looks at me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Enough.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The sculpture, the painter,
the video maker,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the figure of the artist has been 
as fetishized in Western culture

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as the Hollywood actor,
the town drunk or the Messiah himself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Michael Peter's take shots],
attempts to reconfigure

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the concept of creator or creatrix
by placing himself in the position

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of artist as meme.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watch, enjoy, and be one.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are all children of the universe.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, absolutely.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I feel my absence 
in the absence of all things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Belief in living has been 
contorted into this shortened life

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of contempt and pre-determined in prison.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(sighs)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I feel it all collapsing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I CAN'T FUCKING EMBRACE IT!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(sighs)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(sighs)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[It's near] and here I stand...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wasting the last moments, 
cursing thee who impress me this

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[your fate].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You give nothing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No mercy, no empathy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Only self-hate.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You are just a fucking plaything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
An amusement replicating the cries of man.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You replay the last moments 
of my life over and over and over!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm just a fucking charade 
suspended at the core of ridicule

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I pity for those whose end mirrors mine

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I pity myself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(sniffles)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm helpless.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm tormented by the inescapable

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
rewinding collapse.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't let them see me like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Man is under surveillance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Where is he going?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Almost into a state of euphoria, of relief,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as though he's happy about it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He has to act as a looking glass
rather than a mirror

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of social conventions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He disintegrated perfectly,
but never reappeared.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He became translucent to reveal his reality.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's impossible unless he is, 
or was, insane.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He changed his mind.
You know how men are.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Perhaps it symbolizes something deep 
in the subconscious.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(silence until 19:43)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Feeling genuinely upset.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tears [level]. Hmm.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shame on me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My face is [receptical] on surface.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A surface that's throwing up 
what's already there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Wet ware and ? stuff].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Confrontation is post. Preferably.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Living in [?] like over and under.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
With grapple here 
is approaching confrontation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or surface lump rolled out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You go through the dump 
to form a projectile semi-bound

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like protest song collapsed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Needs filled for no other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Forced partly forever as long 
as I leave you together.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Art hits.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Whatever I point at is big.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Snapped leg. Snapped leg. (until 21:35)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Chalk circle.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Another one of those days where you think,
"Shit, I've done nothing today."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This London Underground journey

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
needs to excessive 
mental activity performed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm stuck in a strange 
modern day meditation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This space asks for an interruption.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When it happens, it's a moment 
of pure panic and confusion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All previous expectations are obliterated.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[A second velation].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The rules are being broken here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Quickly, it passes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm back in the routine.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's an expansion 
of discovery and limitation,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even if I'm thinking, 
"Fuck. This is boring"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as I scribble repetitively onto the floor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Between the visible and invisible lies 
a glistening rectangular pane,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a transparent veil.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This thin glossy sheet of glass, 
so innocent looking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is the frontier between 
the physicality of toil

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the ignorance of immateriality.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Liquid crystals oscillating between 
a seamless fluid and solid state

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
produce a viscous reality 
that's almost palpable,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
almost attainable but succeeds 
only in abstracting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The heightened artifice 
perpetuates [animinity],

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
outsourced far away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dead labor turns to capital
and power relations dissolve.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All that is solid melts into the air.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These light installations do
not provide an original experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Instead, the audience 
will witness occurrences

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they have previously encountered 
in their everyday lives

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on bedroom walls, floors, 
and through bus windows

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but may have never noticed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Observing, recording, 
and recreating studies of light,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this series of events are light occurrences 
that have captured

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and digitally recreated using projectors

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as the technology [was staged 
then] in this space.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do you either go noticed or unnoticed?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What you're about to witness 
is quite definitely horrible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
British artist [Jack Evans], 
when he was raised in Mansfield,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[?] is now one of the most 
southern parts in the UK,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Brighton Beach.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the hellish winter cold 
laid out nothing but [rains].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
His favorite pair of speedos 
and a fucking tacky shit gold watch,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
eating what I believe 
those Brits call a [99 Flake].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
His body looks glorious 
as it shivers in the wind.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I do have to remind you, 
especially the ladies,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was fucking cold.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Enjoy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hold your breath.
Count to two.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Come with us in a world of pure imagination.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Take a look and you'll see 
into our imagination.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We'll begin travelling 
in the world of our creation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What you'll see will have no explanation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look around.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's no life to compare 
with living with no [pixellation].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Joe Mass] was Shia LaBeouf 
before Shia LaBeouf was [Joe Mass].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We only got 30 seconds, 
so I mean, I'll try his voice

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but... I don't know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Who makes that choice?
Who's pretending to be who?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're pretending to talk 
to a you that doesn't exist yet,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but what's really going on here?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I... fuck, I don't think 
any of us understand.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe you do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's always reflections 
of you in the screen,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I can't speak.
I'm dumb.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm the dumbest when Shia talks.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fuck, 30 seconds.
All right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Pressure, whatever.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hey, mom, it's really Joe.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I bet you never thought
this would fucking happen, huh?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(chuckles)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Work number 24 oscillates somewhere between

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a [durational] performance in live sculpture.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The work seeks to act both 
as a social and institutional critique

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of "What is an art school?"
presented then in a form

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of a bookshop, as opposed to a library,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
arguably a democratic equivalent.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The work seeks to explore 
the currency of ideas,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how trade and exchange 
is not only [commoditized],

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but perhaps how conversation 
is perhaps a vital component

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the flow and disruption 
of how culture manifests.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A practice revolves around 
questions of fact and fiction

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the blurred line that lies between.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm interested in how surveillance images

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can be manipulated 
and orchestrated in order to create

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a particular narrative, 
creating an unreliable narrator.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are three parts to the work:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Footage of a factual space,
whereby a sequence of events

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
has occured, the digital 
drawing of the space,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and a stripped-back stage 
to its crude simplest skeletal form,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where the sequence 
of events is re-enacted.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The stage is a factual representation 
of a real life space

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
whereby every property 
is identical in dimensions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
57,910,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
108,200,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
149,600,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
227,940,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
778,330,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
1,428,400,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
2,970,990,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
4,000,000,500.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
4 million, 5 billion...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
913,520,000.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can't stop looking at my phone and computer.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Separate connected entity making 
me lose time and space awareness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Where's my phone?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I need to make this sunset digital.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[A stone] preserved in binary code

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
until the server breaks 
and the national grid

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
runs out of gas.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can't find my money.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dad left the physical sphere long ago.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All I see remind me of things online
or in a video game.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They are so real in the moment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I climbed that mountain 
with my mind and fingers.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My body didn't even get close.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All my experiences turn 
into light and pixels.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Errrrrrmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ummmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oohhhhhhhmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ooohmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ooohhmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ohhmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Errrrmmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ummmmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ohhmmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ohhmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Errmmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ummmmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ohhmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ohhmmmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Errmmmmmmmmm

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ummmmmmmm
