1
00:00:00,761 --> 00:00:02,137
A thing is happening.

2
00:00:02,137 --> 00:00:04,697
Beauty's at work through 
pure and selfless acceptance,

3
00:00:04,697 --> 00:00:07,875
through everyday transcendence
that remedies the chaos,

4
00:00:07,875 --> 00:00:11,044
an antidote to the sorrow 
on this earth for eternity.

5
00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:14,135
Music heard so deeply 
that it is not heard at all.

6
00:00:14,135 --> 00:00:17,516
You are the music while the music lasts.

7
00:00:17,516 --> 00:00:19,885
Insist on beauty in spite of everything.

8
00:00:19,885 --> 00:00:21,317
Decorum.

9
00:00:25,737 --> 00:00:28,685
As I'm walking, I see 
you on your motorbike.

10
00:00:29,843 --> 00:00:31,813
I can see your blue eyes 
and nose peering underneath

11
00:00:31,813 --> 00:00:33,399
the crash helmet.

12
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:34,535
And it's not you.

13
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:36,041
It's just a man that looks like you.

14
00:00:36,041 --> 00:00:38,225
I'm disappointed every time.

15
00:00:38,225 --> 00:00:42,780
Every time I see a man on a motorbike,
I think it's my dad.

16
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:45,702
I'm not sure why this is.

17
00:00:45,702 --> 00:00:50,032
Sometimes I forget 
what your bike looks like.

18
00:00:50,032 --> 00:00:53,803
Everyone's eyes and faces 
look the same underneath

19
00:00:53,803 --> 00:00:55,641
black crash helmets.

20
00:00:55,641 --> 00:00:57,494
From a distance, everyone looks like you.

21
00:00:57,494 --> 00:00:59,984
Although soon I realize it's not.

22
00:00:59,984 --> 00:01:03,714
I remember you used 
to paint pictures of naked women

23
00:01:03,714 --> 00:01:05,386
in crash helmets.

24
00:01:05,386 --> 00:01:07,448
Their identities were hidden too.

25
00:01:07,448 --> 00:01:10,217
I always wondered who these women were,

26
00:01:10,217 --> 00:01:13,707
their shiny black round heads 
like lollipops.

27
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:15,426
Props.

28
00:01:15,426 --> 00:01:18,584
Who were they, dad?

29
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:24,635
(inhales softly)

30
00:01:24,635 --> 00:01:27,009
(exhales softly)

31
00:01:29,188 --> 00:01:36,753
(silence until 1:54)

32
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:56,762
Breath.

33
00:02:00,013 --> 00:02:03,994
(approaching footsteps)

34
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:11,139
A laughing heart...

35
00:02:12,722 --> 00:02:14,073
Your life is your life.

36
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:16,954
Don't let it be clubbed into submission.

37
00:02:18,201 --> 00:02:20,866
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.

38
00:02:21,773 --> 00:02:23,235
There's light somewhere.

39
00:02:23,235 --> 00:02:26,028
It may not be much light, 
but it beats the darkness.

40
00:02:26,028 --> 00:02:27,928
Be on the watch.

41
00:02:27,928 --> 00:02:30,611
The gods will offer you chances.

42
00:02:30,611 --> 00:02:33,616
Know them. Take them.

43
00:02:33,616 --> 00:02:38,762
You can't beat death, 
but you can beat death in life sometimes.

44
00:02:38,762 --> 00:02:41,801
And the more often you learn to do it,

45
00:02:41,801 --> 00:02:44,438
the more light there will be.

46
00:02:44,438 --> 00:02:46,802
Your life is your life.

47
00:02:46,802 --> 00:02:48,930
Know it while you have it.

48
00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:51,307
You are marvelous.

49
00:02:51,307 --> 00:02:55,101
The gods wait to delight in you.

50
00:03:03,471 --> 00:03:06,182
Rascal was a wildcat 
when it was four degrees outside.

51
00:03:07,368 --> 00:03:09,848
When I moved in she'd stand 
with me in winter and rain,

52
00:03:09,848 --> 00:03:12,095
sleep with me, mostly outside.

53
00:03:12,095 --> 00:03:15,129
Hunter, I never tried to break her spirit.

54
00:03:15,129 --> 00:03:18,685
Hit by a car in front of me.

55
00:03:18,685 --> 00:03:20,755
I was shocked.

56
00:03:20,755 --> 00:03:24,031
I buried her by cat litter and wild food,

57
00:03:24,031 --> 00:03:26,687
her sunshine place 
could only dig the stones

58
00:03:26,687 --> 00:03:29,948
because of city sewage pipes 
about three or four feet.

59
00:03:29,948 --> 00:03:34,836
I wish it was deeper, next to keep 
other animals from digging her up.

60
00:03:34,836 --> 00:03:37,095
When I find stones, I'll cover her up

61
00:03:37,095 --> 00:03:39,011
[?] began to swell.

62
00:03:39,011 --> 00:03:42,183
If so, I'll put more soil on top.

63
00:03:42,183 --> 00:03:47,273
First, cat and friend.

64
00:03:51,613 --> 00:03:53,839
Hi. Yeah.

65
00:03:55,521 --> 00:03:57,430
I saw you last night. Hmm.

66
00:03:58,681 --> 00:04:00,455
I was in the club. Yup.

67
00:04:01,605 --> 00:04:03,331
I saw who you were with too.

68
00:04:04,722 --> 00:04:05,992
She was holding you so tight.

69
00:04:06,633 --> 00:04:07,962
Because she knows you want me.

70
00:04:08,695 --> 00:04:12,515
Oh, naw. She can't love you.

71
00:04:13,365 --> 00:04:14,891
She can't love you like I do.

72
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,975
I said to myself that 
you must be out of your mind.

73
00:04:18,975 --> 00:04:20,949
You were there with somebody else.

74
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:22,694
You know you're wasting your time.

75
00:04:22,694 --> 00:04:24,789
Oh, no.

76
00:04:24,789 --> 00:04:26,445
But she can't love you.

77
00:04:26,445 --> 00:04:28,775
She can't love you like I do.

78
00:04:28,775 --> 00:04:32,996
You're missing my beat
and I'm needing your moves.

79
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:36,659
Let's give it one more try.
Let's get back in the groove.

80
00:04:36,659 --> 00:04:39,355
Because she can't love you.

81
00:04:39,355 --> 00:04:42,936
She can't love you like I do.

82
00:04:47,436 --> 00:04:49,966
When I was younger, 
my father was the producer

83
00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:54,025
of a transvestite troupe
and it seemed a dream for me

84
00:04:54,025 --> 00:04:56,198
to be able to observe 
what was behind the curtain.

85
00:04:56,198 --> 00:04:59,457
I think this is when it all started,
while growing up.

86
00:04:59,457 --> 00:05:02,118
I kept on searching 
for this feeling of wonder,

87
00:05:02,118 --> 00:05:03,738
this taste for metamorphosis.

88
00:05:03,738 --> 00:05:08,205
I [direct speak] of cabarets,
shows are even strange.

89
00:05:08,205 --> 00:05:12,746
From video to another, 
off the same protagonist progresses

90
00:05:12,746 --> 00:05:15,265
in this mysterious 
and phantasmagorical universe.

91
00:05:15,265 --> 00:05:18,620
I consider my videos as living paintings.

92
00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:22,013
I use the camera 
as a painter with his brushes.

93
00:05:22,013 --> 00:05:26,365
What could my world be made of?

94
00:05:29,825 --> 00:05:33,693
Red. Green. Blue.

95
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:39,394
Red. Green. Blue.

96
00:05:41,171 --> 00:05:44,617
Red. Green. Blue.

97
00:05:47,984 --> 00:05:51,640
If you want to turn yourself 
into a proud samurai warrior,

98
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,408
you need the katana samurai sword.

99
00:05:54,408 --> 00:05:58,110
This high-quality plastic weapon 
is a Japanese long sword

100
00:05:58,110 --> 00:06:01,469
which will look just perfect 
with your traditional Japanese hakama.

101
00:06:01,469 --> 00:06:03,805
And the traditional Japanese geta.

102
00:06:03,805 --> 00:06:06,374
And add the finishing touch 
to your Asian outfit:

103
00:06:06,374 --> 00:06:08,795
the black and gold katana samurai sword

104
00:06:08,795 --> 00:06:10,708
comes with a matching black scabbard

105
00:06:10,708 --> 00:06:12,555
so it can be stored safely.

106
00:06:12,555 --> 00:06:14,918
The Japanese sword 
will protect you in fights

107
00:06:14,918 --> 00:06:17,268
and is sure to make you 
an eye-catcher in any party.

108
00:06:17,268 --> 00:06:20,162
Size length, 105 centimeters.

109
00:06:20,162 --> 00:06:22,674
Blade length, 70 centimeters.

110
00:06:22,674 --> 00:06:24,728
Material, plastic.

111
00:06:29,788 --> 00:06:32,939
Yeah, so... a couple years ago

112
00:06:33,107 --> 00:06:35,201
a bunch of us went down to the beach

113
00:06:35,201 --> 00:06:41,428
and we got there and coast guards running

114
00:06:41,428 --> 00:06:43,948
all up and down the sand like,
"You can't get in the water."

115
00:06:43,948 --> 00:06:44,674
You know?

116
00:06:44,674 --> 00:06:46,115
Screaming at us.

117
00:06:46,115 --> 00:06:48,054
So we waited a bit and they went 
further down the beach

118
00:06:48,054 --> 00:06:49,988
and then we decided we would go.

119
00:06:49,988 --> 00:06:51,858
Like, what the fuck?
Why did we come here?

120
00:06:51,858 --> 00:06:55,175
So my buddy went down there and he's like,

121
00:06:55,175 --> 00:06:57,533
"All good, come down here, man."

122
00:06:57,533 --> 00:07:00,161
So I walked over and we looked down.

123
00:07:00,161 --> 00:07:02,268
And we couldn't see it 
from where we were parked,

124
00:07:02,268 --> 00:07:04,288
but when we looked down, 
we were really close.

125
00:07:04,288 --> 00:07:07,216
You looked down and there 
just all these fucking jellyfish.

126
00:07:07,216 --> 00:07:11,602
Like, one every... like all over the place.

127
00:07:11,602 --> 00:07:13,806
One every two or three feet.

128
00:07:13,806 --> 00:07:15,808
And from where we were standing,
you couldn't really tell

129
00:07:15,808 --> 00:07:20,188
if they were living or dead, you know?

130
00:07:20,188 --> 00:07:21,859
'Cause some of them were still moving,

131
00:07:21,859 --> 00:07:26,766
but then others were just totally limp.

132
00:07:31,136 --> 00:07:34,788
So... tell me what it's like 
growing up in Singapore.

133
00:07:36,207 --> 00:07:43,980
Well, we had... I had 
these really magnificent memories

134
00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:45,879
of my childhood.

135
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:47,783
We had these magnificent playgrounds.

136
00:07:47,783 --> 00:07:51,734
There was, like, these big watermelons.

137
00:07:51,734 --> 00:07:58,083
I remember I used to climb 
to the top of the watermelon

138
00:07:58,083 --> 00:08:00,578
and I'd rub myself on the ridges

139
00:08:00,578 --> 00:08:03,448
to give myself pleasure.

140
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:15,075
You think we could fall 
in love on the internet?

141
00:08:19,542 --> 00:08:21,961
No.

142
00:08:26,251 --> 00:08:29,116
'Cause it wouldn't be love.
It'd just be porn.

143
00:08:31,123 --> 00:08:33,774
I don't think so.

144
00:08:36,995 --> 00:08:40,291
[Seem] from a distance,
almost everything looks beautiful.

145
00:08:40,291 --> 00:08:44,368
As the distance increases, 
the more you romanticize.

146
00:08:44,368 --> 00:08:48,920
All the small details from 
the everyday reminisces the past.

147
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,639
Because things we want to forget 
are the things we can never forget.

148
00:08:59,582 --> 00:09:00,887
DO IT!

149
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,426
JUST DO IT!

150
00:09:04,926 --> 00:09:06,930
Don't let your dreams be dreams.

151
00:09:06,930 --> 00:09:09,420
Yesterday you said tomorrow.

152
00:09:09,420 --> 00:09:11,653
So just DO IT!

153
00:09:11,653 --> 00:09:14,020
Make your dreams come true!

154
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:16,414
Just DO IT!

155
00:09:19,187 --> 00:09:21,675
Some people dream of success
while you're gonna wake up

156
00:09:21,675 --> 00:09:23,240
and work hard at it!

157
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,805
Nothing is impossible.

158
00:09:24,805 --> 00:09:30,067
You should get to the point
where anyone else would quit

159
00:09:30,067 --> 00:09:31,857
and you're not gonna stop there.

160
00:09:31,857 --> 00:09:34,259
No, what are you waiting for?

161
00:09:34,259 --> 00:09:36,553
DO IT!

162
00:09:36,553 --> 00:09:41,371
Just... DO IT!

163
00:09:41,371 --> 00:09:43,038
Yes, you can!

164
00:09:43,038 --> 00:09:44,540
Just do it.

165
00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:53,831
If you're tired of starting over,
stop giving up.

166
00:10:03,207 --> 00:10:05,607
Emerging gaming technologies 
operate within a nexus

167
00:10:05,607 --> 00:10:08,691
of social relationships that 
characterize the modern world.

168
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:11,587
These technologies enable 
a constant commentary

169
00:10:11,587 --> 00:10:13,788
which has become 
the quintessential quality of power,

170
00:10:13,788 --> 00:10:16,896
often operating as mechanisms 
that dictate our action

171
00:10:16,896 --> 00:10:18,853
and pre-ordain our expectations.

172
00:10:18,853 --> 00:10:21,853
The work interrogates 
the cultural logic of feedback

173
00:10:21,853 --> 00:10:24,281
as a metaphor and material condition.

174
00:10:24,281 --> 00:10:28,275
It is live, cybernetic, reactive.

175
00:10:28,275 --> 00:10:32,807
Sensory data translated 
through visual and tactile apparatus.

176
00:10:32,807 --> 00:10:36,760
Disillusion of the virtual 
and corporeal boundary,

177
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,354
reorienting perspective of the existing
and the alternative space and time.

178
00:10:42,354 --> 00:10:45,298
An avatar in symbiosis with the subject,

179
00:10:45,298 --> 00:10:50,195
taking the lead in a continuous loop 
of action and reaction.

180
00:10:58,247 --> 00:10:59,813
We're surrounded by forms.

181
00:11:02,270 --> 00:11:03,810
Yet it's still so elusive, right?

182
00:11:05,633 --> 00:11:08,892
You know, sometimes it feels 
like we fill that void between us

183
00:11:08,892 --> 00:11:10,773
with something that grows slowly,

184
00:11:10,773 --> 00:11:12,621
like it's overtaking us or something.

185
00:11:12,621 --> 00:11:16,607
Through the way we speak,
or what we do,

186
00:11:16,607 --> 00:11:18,172
where we put stuff around us,

187
00:11:18,172 --> 00:11:21,819
even the stances we inhabit
or the faces we make

188
00:11:21,819 --> 00:11:24,223
or even the body parts, you know?

189
00:11:24,223 --> 00:11:25,793
The food we eat. Whatever.

190
00:11:25,793 --> 00:11:29,426
Sometimes it gets heavier, you know?

191
00:11:29,426 --> 00:11:33,480
Or more light, but 
it's like all the distinctions

192
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,696
are starting to melt away.

193
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:40,181
The forms, the resemblances,
the symmetries,

194
00:11:40,181 --> 00:11:41,916
the repetitions, the patterns.

195
00:11:41,916 --> 00:11:45,861
Patterns that we know we have always had,

196
00:11:45,861 --> 00:11:48,521
that have always been there
and we're not sure why.

197
00:11:48,521 --> 00:11:55,153
And now... the outside looks 
more and more like the images

198
00:11:55,153 --> 00:11:58,139
that were contained in us 
since the beginning.

199
00:12:04,619 --> 00:12:06,562
Hi. Thank you for waiting.

200
00:12:07,297 --> 00:12:09,157
We've been running 
a little bit behind today.

201
00:12:09,157 --> 00:12:10,642
Right.

202
00:12:10,642 --> 00:12:12,917
As you know, we've taken a few readings

203
00:12:12,917 --> 00:12:15,309
and these get sent away.

204
00:12:15,309 --> 00:12:17,957
We have a look at them.
We meet, a group of us.

205
00:12:17,957 --> 00:12:20,056
Many years of experience.

206
00:12:20,056 --> 00:12:22,203
We have a look and we see what we can see.

207
00:12:22,203 --> 00:12:23,870
Does that make sense?

208
00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:25,065
If I ju--

209
00:12:25,065 --> 00:12:28,197
If you just have a look here, really...

210
00:12:28,197 --> 00:12:34,527
The system's really slow, 
so it's a case of monitoring.

211
00:12:34,527 --> 00:12:37,340
And you monitoring 
and you just letting us know

212
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,340
if you notice anything unusual.

213
00:12:39,340 --> 00:12:40,933
Would you be able to do this?

214
00:12:40,933 --> 00:12:42,560
Hmm?

215
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:47,497
You have any questions?

216
00:12:54,427 --> 00:12:55,847
Double.

217
00:12:57,782 --> 00:12:59,177
Double sided.

218
00:12:59,334 --> 00:13:01,771
Minds. Different paths.

219
00:13:01,771 --> 00:13:05,795
One runs after sunlight,
one follows the rising moon.

220
00:13:05,795 --> 00:13:09,547
They either congregate, 
connect, intersect, touch,

221
00:13:09,547 --> 00:13:12,423
unite at sunset for eclipses...

222
00:13:12,423 --> 00:13:16,111
play and then separate 
for long interstices.

223
00:13:16,111 --> 00:13:21,134
Later, re-enacting past meetings 
forever lost in repetition.

224
00:13:25,244 --> 00:13:29,141
Ebb and flow, edging closer.

225
00:13:30,172 --> 00:13:31,641
Expanding warmth.

226
00:13:31,641 --> 00:13:35,068
That point just before the pressure bursts.

227
00:13:35,068 --> 00:13:37,755
Capillary rush.

228
00:13:37,755 --> 00:13:41,494
Tension. Resisting.

229
00:13:41,494 --> 00:13:48,773
Each muscle, each limb, 
each breath under control for now.

230
00:13:48,773 --> 00:13:52,761
Questions of limitations 
dissolve into the blur.

231
00:13:52,761 --> 00:13:55,982
Eyes open, but horizons fall away.

232
00:13:55,982 --> 00:13:58,261
The burn increases now.

233
00:13:58,261 --> 00:14:00,121
(Shia grunts)

234
00:14:00,121 --> 00:14:01,846
The pain sensors...

235
00:14:01,846 --> 00:14:04,940
one of you escapes, but I pull you back.

236
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:07,605
Heh. Duality.

237
00:14:07,605 --> 00:14:11,001
Existing only as a whole.

238
00:14:11,001 --> 00:14:13,887
Weakened by quivering joints.

239
00:14:13,887 --> 00:14:18,215
Lungs push for release,
a struggle to hold on.

240
00:14:18,215 --> 00:14:24,302
Control surrendered, suspended in dullness.

241
00:14:24,302 --> 00:14:26,945
Eyes close.

242
00:14:26,945 --> 00:14:30,102
Now numb.

243
00:14:34,182 --> 00:14:39,546
Running, reaching, falling, 
skipping, turning, sliding, walking.

244
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:42,130
These are all words 
that describe ways of moving.

245
00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:45,489
Each action is packed 
with many micro-movements.

246
00:14:45,489 --> 00:14:49,042
It's hard for us to recognize 
these small movements individually.

247
00:14:49,042 --> 00:14:52,364
When describing how to walk, 
we use the simplest terms possible

248
00:14:52,364 --> 00:14:55,145
and struggle to explain all 
the mechanics of a simple movement.

249
00:14:55,145 --> 00:14:58,570
Understanding body movement 
in the terms of everyday language

250
00:14:58,570 --> 00:15:01,554
should be simple, however 
our muscle memory takes over

251
00:15:01,554 --> 00:15:03,813
for our brain and our body 
becomes a strange system

252
00:15:03,813 --> 00:15:07,476
of levers and pulleys 
that maneuver by our command.

253
00:15:11,626 --> 00:15:13,546
She sits.

254
00:15:15,734 --> 00:15:17,040
I squirt toothpaste in my mouth.

255
00:15:17,406 --> 00:15:18,541
I start to brush.

256
00:15:18,741 --> 00:15:20,708
She's looking at me.
I look at her.

257
00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:22,341
I keep brushing whilst looking.

258
00:15:22,341 --> 00:15:24,908
I'll start looking at her.
She looks at me

259
00:15:24,908 --> 00:15:27,732
and I continue to brush, 
getting faster, getting harder.

260
00:15:27,732 --> 00:15:30,812
I start to gag.

261
00:15:30,812 --> 00:15:34,153
My eyes leak and I still look at her.

262
00:15:34,153 --> 00:15:37,804
She looks at me and I keep brushing, gaggin.

263
00:15:37,804 --> 00:15:40,349
I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

264
00:15:40,349 --> 00:15:42,315
Am I gonna be sick?

265
00:15:42,315 --> 00:15:48,423
Gagging! Paste down my face, 
my hair, on my shirt.

266
00:15:48,423 --> 00:15:54,427
Dripping, and I still look at her
and she looks at me.

267
00:15:55,355 --> 00:15:56,580
Enough.

268
00:16:04,185 --> 00:16:08,512
The sculpture, the painter,
the video maker,

269
00:16:08,512 --> 00:16:12,335
the figure of the artist has been 
as fetishized in Western culture

270
00:16:12,335 --> 00:16:15,818
as the Hollywood actor,
the town drunk or the Messiah himself.

271
00:16:15,818 --> 00:16:19,368
[Michael Peter's take shots],
attempts to reconfigure

272
00:16:19,368 --> 00:16:23,355
the concept of creator or creatrix
by placing himself in the position

273
00:16:23,355 --> 00:16:25,274
of artist as meme.

274
00:16:25,274 --> 00:16:29,048
Watch, enjoy, and be one.

275
00:16:31,061 --> 00:16:32,466
We are all children of the universe.

276
00:16:51,939 --> 00:16:53,435
Yeah, absolutely.

277
00:16:54,786 --> 00:16:57,166
I feel my absence 
in the absence of all things.

278
00:17:01,461 --> 00:17:05,584
Belief in living has been 
contorted into this shortened life

279
00:17:05,584 --> 00:17:08,166
of contempt and pre-determined in prison.

280
00:17:08,166 --> 00:17:09,554
And I...

281
00:17:09,554 --> 00:17:13,683
(sighs)

282
00:17:14,943 --> 00:17:16,145
I feel it all collapsing.

283
00:17:18,306 --> 00:17:20,838
I CAN'T FUCKING EMBRACE IT!

284
00:17:25,389 --> 00:17:26,821
(sighs)

285
00:17:30,325 --> 00:17:31,618
(sighs)

286
00:17:40,705 --> 00:17:44,321
[It's near] and here I stand...

287
00:17:48,611 --> 00:17:52,183
wasting my last moments, 
cursing thee who impress me this

288
00:17:52,183 --> 00:17:53,733
[your fate].

289
00:17:56,677 --> 00:17:57,979
You give nothing.

290
00:17:58,213 --> 00:18:00,279
No mercy, no empathy.

291
00:18:02,199 --> 00:18:03,518
Only self-hate.

292
00:18:03,736 --> 00:18:05,436
To you, I'm just a fucking plaything.

293
00:18:05,707 --> 00:18:08,051
An amusement replicating the cries of man.

294
00:18:08,051 --> 00:18:11,474
You replay the last moments 
of my life over and over and over!

295
00:18:11,474 --> 00:18:15,234
I'm just a fucking charade 
suspended at the core of ridicule

296
00:18:15,234 --> 00:18:19,609
and I pity for those whose end mirrors mine

297
00:18:19,609 --> 00:18:21,581
and I pity myself.

298
00:18:21,581 --> 00:18:24,976
(sniffles)

299
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:28,368
I'm helpless.

300
00:18:29,595 --> 00:18:30,769
Thank you.

301
00:18:37,793 --> 00:18:40,813
I'm tormented by the inescapable

302
00:18:40,813 --> 00:18:44,686
rewinding collapse.

303
00:18:49,121 --> 00:18:50,488
Don't let them see me like this.

304
00:18:53,673 --> 00:18:54,995
Man is under surveillance.

305
00:18:56,345 --> 00:18:57,441
Where is he going?

306
00:18:58,398 --> 00:19:01,213
Almost into a state of euphoria, of relief,

307
00:19:01,213 --> 00:19:03,049
as though he's happy about it.

308
00:19:03,049 --> 00:19:06,081
He has to act as a looking glass
rather than a mirror

309
00:19:06,081 --> 00:19:07,975
of social conventions.

310
00:19:07,975 --> 00:19:12,101
He disintegrated perfectly,
but never reappeared.

311
00:19:12,101 --> 00:19:15,495
He became translucent to reveal his reality.

312
00:19:15,495 --> 00:19:20,108
It's impossible unless he is, 
or was, insane.

313
00:19:20,108 --> 00:19:25,470
He changed his mind.
You know how men are.

314
00:19:25,470 --> 00:19:29,662
Perhaps it symbolizes something deep 
in the subconscious.

315
00:19:30,051 --> 00:19:37,567
(silence until 19:43)

316
00:19:43,796 --> 00:19:45,739
Feeling genuinely upset.

317
00:19:49,974 --> 00:19:51,983
Tears [level]. Hmm.

318
00:19:57,475 --> 00:19:58,671
Shame on me.

319
00:20:00,382 --> 00:20:02,827
My face is [receptical] on surface.

320
00:20:02,827 --> 00:20:06,365
A surface that's throwing up 
what's already there.

321
00:20:07,866 --> 00:20:09,708
[Wet ware and ? stuff].

322
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:14,486
Confrontation is post. Preferably.

323
00:20:14,486 --> 00:20:17,635
Living in [?] like over and under.

324
00:20:17,635 --> 00:20:20,768
With grapple here 
is approaching confrontation.

325
00:20:20,768 --> 00:20:23,122
Or surface lump rolled out.

326
00:20:23,122 --> 00:20:29,713
You go through the dump 
to form a projectile semi-bound

327
00:20:29,713 --> 00:20:31,857
like protest song collapsed.

328
00:20:31,857 --> 00:20:35,329
Needs filled for no other.

329
00:20:36,388 --> 00:20:38,955
Forced partly forever as long 
as I leave you together.

330
00:20:42,145 --> 00:20:43,307
Art hits.

331
00:20:45,367 --> 00:20:46,693
Whatever I point at is big.

332
00:20:52,595 --> 00:21:33,491
Snapped leg. Snapped leg. (until 21:35)

333
00:21:36,896 --> 00:21:38,916
Chalk circle.

334
00:21:38,916 --> 00:21:42,242
Another one of those days where you think,
"Shit, I've done nothing today."

335
00:21:42,242 --> 00:21:43,416
This London Underground journey

336
00:21:43,416 --> 00:21:45,841
needs no excessive 
mental activity to perform.

337
00:21:46,288 --> 00:21:48,375
I'm stuck in a strange 
modern day meditation.

338
00:21:48,375 --> 00:21:50,643
This space asks for an interruption.

339
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:53,533
When it happens, it's a moment 
of pure panic and confusion.

340
00:21:53,533 --> 00:21:55,928
All previous expectations are obliterated.

341
00:21:55,928 --> 00:21:57,722
[A second velation].

342
00:21:57,722 --> 00:21:59,672
The rules are being broken here.

343
00:21:59,672 --> 00:22:02,432
Quickly, it passes.

344
00:22:02,432 --> 00:22:05,921
I'm back in the routine.

345
00:22:05,921 --> 00:22:08,954
There's an expansion 
of discovery and limitation,

346
00:22:08,954 --> 00:22:11,508
even if I'm thinking, 
"Fuck. This is boring"

347
00:22:11,508 --> 00:22:14,388
as I scribble repetitively onto the floor.

348
00:22:18,708 --> 00:22:21,881
Between the visible and invisible lies 
a glistening rectangular pane,

349
00:22:22,833 --> 00:22:24,668
a transparent veil.

350
00:22:25,904 --> 00:22:28,201
This thin glossy sheet of glass, 
so innocent looking,

351
00:22:28,201 --> 00:22:30,941
is the frontier between 
the physicality of toil

352
00:22:30,941 --> 00:22:33,261
and the ignorance of immateriality.

353
00:22:33,261 --> 00:22:38,383
Liquid crystals oscillating between 
a seamless fluid and solid state

354
00:22:38,383 --> 00:22:41,645
produce a viscous reality 
that's almost palpable,

355
00:22:41,645 --> 00:22:44,969
almost attainable but succeeds 
only in abstracting.

356
00:22:44,969 --> 00:22:48,582
The heightened artifice 
perpetuates [animinity],

357
00:22:48,582 --> 00:22:50,905
outsourced far away.

358
00:22:50,905 --> 00:22:55,376
Dead labor turns to capital
and power relations dissolve.

359
00:22:55,376 --> 00:22:58,395
All that is solid melts into the air.

360
00:23:03,325 --> 00:23:06,088
These light installations do
not provide an original experience.

361
00:23:07,581 --> 00:23:09,548
Instead, the audience 
will witness occurrences

362
00:23:09,548 --> 00:23:11,905
they have previously encountered 
in their everyday lives

363
00:23:11,905 --> 00:23:15,036
on bedroom walls, floors, 
and through bus windows

364
00:23:15,364 --> 00:23:17,221
but may have never noticed.

365
00:23:18,220 --> 00:23:20,609
Observing, recording, 
and recreating studies of light,

366
00:23:21,505 --> 00:23:23,859
this series of events are light occurrences 
that have captured

367
00:23:23,859 --> 00:23:26,443
and digitally recreated using projectors

368
00:23:26,443 --> 00:23:29,076
as the technology [was staged 
then] in this space.

369
00:23:29,076 --> 00:23:32,269
Do you either go noticed or unnoticed?

370
00:23:37,229 --> 00:23:41,289
What you're about to witness 
is quite definitely horrible.

371
00:23:42,585 --> 00:23:45,344
British artist [Jack Evans], 
when he was raised in Mansfield,

372
00:23:45,344 --> 00:23:50,012
[part of the midlands], is now one of the most 
southern parts in the UK,

373
00:23:50,838 --> 00:23:52,240
Brighton Beach.

374
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,701
And the hellish winter cold 
laid out nothing but [rains].

375
00:23:55,701 --> 00:24:00,560
His favorite pair of speedos 
and a fucking tacky shit gold watch,

376
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,051
eating what I believe 
those Brits call a [99 Flake].

377
00:24:04,051 --> 00:24:07,507
His body looks glorious 
as it shivers in the wind.

378
00:24:07,507 --> 00:24:10,894
I do have to remind you, 
especially the ladies,

379
00:24:10,894 --> 00:24:13,655
it was fucking cold.

380
00:24:13,655 --> 00:24:15,760
Enjoy.

381
00:24:20,225 --> 00:24:22,773
Hold your breath.
Count to two.

382
00:24:24,285 --> 00:24:26,486
Come with us in a world of pure imagination.

383
00:24:27,386 --> 00:24:30,213
Take a look and you'll see 
into our imagination.

384
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:34,278
We'll begin travelling 
in the world of our creation.

385
00:24:35,567 --> 00:24:38,030
What you'll see will have no explanation.

386
00:24:39,317 --> 00:24:40,785
Look around.

387
00:24:40,923 --> 00:24:43,585
There's no life to compare 
with living with no [pixellation].

388
00:24:56,781 --> 00:25:01,338
[Joe Mass] was Shia LaBeouf 
before Shia LaBeouf was [Joe Mass].

389
00:25:06,492 --> 00:25:08,378
We only got 30 seconds, 
so I mean, I'll try his voice

390
00:25:08,378 --> 00:25:10,998
but... I don't know.

391
00:25:11,641 --> 00:25:13,730
Who makes that choice?
Who's pretending to be who?

392
00:25:13,730 --> 00:25:17,219
We're pretending to talk 
to a you that doesn't exist yet,

393
00:25:17,219 --> 00:25:18,824
but what's really going on here?

394
00:25:18,824 --> 00:25:22,589
I... fuck, I don't think 
any of us understand.

395
00:25:22,743 --> 00:25:24,371
Maybe you do.

396
00:25:25,483 --> 00:25:26,845
There's always reflections 
of you in the screen,

397
00:25:26,845 --> 00:25:28,264
but I can't speak.
I'm dumb.

398
00:25:28,264 --> 00:25:30,036
I'm the dumbest when Shia talks.

399
00:25:30,036 --> 00:25:33,165
Fuck, 30 seconds.
All right.

400
00:25:33,303 --> 00:25:34,740
Pressure, whatever.

401
00:25:35,005 --> 00:25:36,298
Hey, mom, it's really Joe.

402
00:25:36,298 --> 00:25:38,106
I bet you never thought
this would fucking happen, huh?

403
00:25:38,106 --> 00:25:39,467
(chuckles)

404
00:25:43,307 --> 00:25:45,747
Work number 24 oscillates somewhere between

405
00:25:45,747 --> 00:25:47,867
a [durational] performance in live sculpture.

406
00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:51,866
The work seeks to act both 
as a social and institutional critique

407
00:25:51,866 --> 00:25:55,512
of "What is an art school?"
presented then in a form

408
00:25:55,512 --> 00:25:57,371
of a bookshop, as opposed to a library,

409
00:25:57,371 --> 00:25:59,531
arguably a democratic equivalent.

410
00:25:59,531 --> 00:26:01,854
The work seeks to explore 
the currency of ideas,

411
00:26:01,854 --> 00:26:04,688
how trade and exchange 
is not only [commoditized],

412
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:07,898
but perhaps how conversation 
is perhaps a vital component

413
00:26:07,898 --> 00:26:10,626
in the flow and disruption 
of how culture manifests.

414
00:26:15,366 --> 00:26:17,890
A practice revolves around 
questions of fact and fiction

415
00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:19,840
and the blurred line that lies between.

416
00:26:20,690 --> 00:26:22,657
I'm interested in how surveillance images

417
00:26:22,657 --> 00:26:25,113
can be manipulated 
and orchestrated in order to create

418
00:26:25,113 --> 00:26:28,179
a particular narrative, 
creating an unreliable narrator.

419
00:26:28,179 --> 00:26:30,518
There are three parts to the work:

420
00:26:30,518 --> 00:26:34,071
Footage of a factual space,
whereby a sequence of events

421
00:26:34,071 --> 00:26:37,001
has occured, the digital 
drawing of the space,

422
00:26:37,001 --> 00:26:40,925
and a stripped-back stage 
to its crude simplest skeletal form,

423
00:26:40,925 --> 00:26:43,251
where the sequence 
of events is re-enacted.

424
00:26:43,251 --> 00:26:46,945
The stage is a factual representation 
of a real life space

425
00:26:46,945 --> 00:26:49,847
whereby every property 
is identical in dimensions.

426
00:26:53,857 --> 00:26:56,506
57,910,000.

427
00:26:57,618 --> 00:26:59,951
108,200,000.

428
00:27:00,471 --> 00:27:02,940
149,600,000.

429
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:06,471
227,940,000.

430
00:27:06,471 --> 00:27:10,201
778,330,000.

431
00:27:10,201 --> 00:27:13,856
1,429,400,000.

432
00:27:14,590 --> 00:27:18,347
2,970,990,000.

433
00:27:18,506 --> 00:27:20,403
4,000,000,500.

434
00:27:21,059 --> 00:27:21,786
4 million, 5 billion...

435
00:27:21,786 --> 00:27:24,856
913,520,000.

436
00:27:29,376 --> 00:27:31,935
I can't stop looking at my phone and computer.

437
00:27:33,376 --> 00:27:36,433
Separate connected entity making 
me lose time and space awareness.

438
00:27:36,433 --> 00:27:38,100
Where's my phone?

439
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,185
I need to make this sunset digital.

440
00:27:40,185 --> 00:27:43,042
[A stone] preserved in binary code

441
00:27:43,042 --> 00:27:44,973
until the server breaks 
and the national grid

442
00:27:44,973 --> 00:27:46,705
runs out of gas.

443
00:27:46,705 --> 00:27:48,335
I can't find my money.

444
00:27:48,335 --> 00:27:50,049
Dad left the physical sphere long ago.

445
00:27:50,049 --> 00:27:53,542
All I see remind me of things online
or in a video game.

446
00:27:53,542 --> 00:27:55,635
They are so real in the moment.

447
00:27:55,635 --> 00:27:58,670
I climbed that mountain 
with my mind and fingers.

448
00:27:58,670 --> 00:28:00,688
My body didn't even get close.

449
00:28:00,688 --> 00:28:04,688
All my experiences turn 
into light and pixels.

450
00:28:09,148 --> 00:28:11,927
Errrrrrmmmm

451
00:28:12,468 --> 00:28:15,297
Ummmmmmmmm

452
00:28:15,905 --> 00:28:19,026
Oohhhhhhhmmmm

453
00:28:20,826 --> 00:28:23,995
Ooohmmmmmmm

454
00:28:24,795 --> 00:28:28,790
Errrrrmmmmmmmm

455
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:32,610
Ummmmmmmmmm

456
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:35,469
Ooohhmmmmmm

457
00:28:37,097 --> 00:28:39,996
Ohhmmmmmmm

458
00:28:39,996 --> 00:28:46,109
Errrrmmmmmmmm

459
00:28:46,109 --> 00:28:50,025
Ummmmmmmmmm

460
00:28:50,025 --> 00:28:53,615
Ohhmmmmmmmm

461
00:28:55,915 --> 00:28:59,435
Ohhmmmmmmm

462
00:29:00,395 --> 00:29:03,688
Errmmmmmmmm

463
00:29:04,331 --> 00:29:07,388
Ummmmmmmmmm

464
00:29:07,861 --> 00:29:11,022
Ohhmmmmmmm

465
00:29:12,275 --> 00:29:15,369
Ohhmmmmmmmmm

466
00:29:15,991 --> 00:29:20,615
Errmmmmmmmmm

467
00:29:21,290 --> 00:29:23,488
Ummmmmmmm
