00:00:00.761 --> 00:00:02.137
A thing is happening.

00:00:02.137 --> 00:00:04.697
Beauty's at work through 
pure and selfless acceptance,

00:00:04.697 --> 00:00:07.875
through everyday transcendence
that remedies the chaos,

00:00:07.875 --> 00:00:11.044
an antidote to the sorrow 
on this earth for eternity.

00:00:11.044 --> 00:00:14.135
Music heard so deeply 
that it is not heard at all.

00:00:14.135 --> 00:00:17.516
You are the music while the music lasts.

00:00:17.516 --> 00:00:19.885
Insist on beauty in spite of everything.

00:00:19.885 --> 00:00:21.317
Decorum.

00:00:25.737 --> 00:00:28.685
As I'm walking, I see 
you on your motorbike.

00:00:29.843 --> 00:00:31.813
I can see your blue eyes 
and nose peering underneath

00:00:31.813 --> 00:00:33.399
the crash helmet.

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:34.535
And it's not you.

00:00:34.535 --> 00:00:36.041
It's just a man that looks like you.

00:00:36.041 --> 00:00:38.225
I'm disappointed every time.

00:00:38.225 --> 00:00:42.780
Every time I see a man on a motorbike,
I think it's my dad.

00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:45.702
I'm not sure why this is.

00:00:45.702 --> 00:00:50.032
Sometimes I forget 
what your bike looks like.

00:00:50.032 --> 00:00:53.803
Everyone's eyes and faces 
look the same underneath

00:00:53.803 --> 00:00:55.641
black crash helmets.

00:00:55.641 --> 00:00:57.494
From a distance, everyone looks like you.

00:00:57.494 --> 00:00:59.984
Although soon I realize it's not.

00:00:59.984 --> 00:01:03.714
I remember you used 
to paint pictures of naked women

00:01:03.714 --> 00:01:05.386
in crash helmets.

00:01:05.386 --> 00:01:07.448
Their identities were hidden too.

00:01:07.448 --> 00:01:10.217
I always wondered who these women were,

00:01:10.217 --> 00:01:13.707
their shiny black round heads 
like lollipops.

00:01:13.707 --> 00:01:15.426
Props.

00:01:15.426 --> 00:01:18.584
Who were they, dad?

00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:24.635
(inhales softly)

00:01:24.635 --> 00:01:27.009
(exhales softly)

00:01:29.188 --> 00:01:36.753
(silence until 1:54)

00:01:53.330 --> 00:01:56.762
Breath.

00:02:00.013 --> 00:02:03.994
(approaching footsteps)

00:02:09.700 --> 00:02:11.139
A laughing heart...

00:02:12.722 --> 00:02:14.073
Your life is your life.

00:02:14.801 --> 00:02:16.954
Don't let it be clubbed into submission.

00:02:18.201 --> 00:02:20.866
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.

00:02:21.773 --> 00:02:23.235
There's light somewhere.

00:02:23.235 --> 00:02:26.028
It may not be much light, 
but it beats the darkness.

00:02:26.028 --> 00:02:27.928
Be on the watch.

00:02:27.928 --> 00:02:30.611
The gods will offer you chances.

00:02:30.611 --> 00:02:33.616
Know them. Take them.

00:02:33.616 --> 00:02:38.762
You can't beat death, 
but you can beat death in life sometimes.

00:02:38.762 --> 00:02:41.801
And the more often you learn to do it,

00:02:41.801 --> 00:02:44.438
the more light there will be.

00:02:44.438 --> 00:02:46.802
Your life is your life.

00:02:46.802 --> 00:02:48.930
Know it while you have it.

00:02:48.930 --> 00:02:51.307
You are marvelous.

00:02:51.307 --> 00:02:55.101
The gods wait to delight in you.

00:03:03.471 --> 00:03:06.182
Rascal was a wildcat 
when it was four degrees outside.

00:03:07.368 --> 00:03:09.848
When I moved in she'd stand 
with me in winter and rain,

00:03:09.848 --> 00:03:12.095
sleep with me, mostly outside.

00:03:12.095 --> 00:03:15.129
Hunter, I never tried to break her spirit.

00:03:15.129 --> 00:03:18.685
Hit by a car in front of me.

00:03:18.685 --> 00:03:20.755
I was shocked.

00:03:20.755 --> 00:03:24.031
I buried her by cat litter and wild food,

00:03:24.031 --> 00:03:26.687
her sunshine place 
could only dig the stones

00:03:26.687 --> 00:03:29.948
because of city sewage pipes 
about three or four feet.

00:03:29.948 --> 00:03:34.836
I wish it was deeper, next to keep 
other animals from digging her up.

00:03:34.836 --> 00:03:37.095
When I find stones, I'll cover her up

00:03:37.095 --> 00:03:39.011
[?] began to swell.

00:03:39.011 --> 00:03:42.183
If so, I'll put more soil on top.

00:03:42.183 --> 00:03:47.273
First, cat and friend.

00:03:51.613 --> 00:03:53.839
Hi. Yeah.

00:03:55.521 --> 00:03:57.430
I saw you last night. Hmm.

00:03:58.681 --> 00:04:00.455
I was in the club. Yup.

00:04:01.605 --> 00:04:03.331
I saw who you were with too.

00:04:04.722 --> 00:04:05.992
She was holding you so tight.

00:04:06.633 --> 00:04:07.962
Because she knows you want me.

00:04:08.695 --> 00:04:12.515
Oh, naw. She can't love you.

00:04:13.365 --> 00:04:14.891
She can't love you like I do.

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:18.975
I said to myself that 
you must be out of your mind.

00:04:18.975 --> 00:04:20.949
You were there with somebody else.

00:04:20.949 --> 00:04:22.694
You know you're wasting your time.

00:04:22.694 --> 00:04:24.789
Oh, no.

00:04:24.789 --> 00:04:26.445
But she can't love you.

00:04:26.445 --> 00:04:28.775
She can't love you like I do.

00:04:28.775 --> 00:04:32.996
You're missing my beat
and I'm needing your moves.

00:04:34.710 --> 00:04:36.659
Let's give it one more try.
Let's get back in the groove.

00:04:36.659 --> 00:04:39.355
Because she can't love you.

00:04:39.355 --> 00:04:42.936
She can't love you like I do.

00:04:47.436 --> 00:04:49.966
When I was younger, 
my father was the producer

00:04:50.089 --> 00:04:54.025
of a transvestite troupe
and it seemed a dream for me

00:04:54.025 --> 00:04:56.198
to be able to observe 
what was behind the curtain.

00:04:56.198 --> 00:04:59.457
I think this is when it all started,
while growing up.

00:04:59.457 --> 00:05:02.118
I kept on searching 
for this feeling of wonder,

00:05:02.118 --> 00:05:03.738
this taste for metamorphosis.

00:05:03.738 --> 00:05:08.205
I [direct speak] of cabarets,
shows are even strange.

00:05:08.205 --> 00:05:12.746
From video to another, 
off the same protagonist progresses

00:05:12.746 --> 00:05:15.265
in this mysterious 
and phantasmagorical universe.

00:05:15.265 --> 00:05:18.620
I consider my videos as living paintings.

00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:22.013
I use the camera 
as a painter with his brushes.

00:05:22.013 --> 00:05:26.365
What could my world be made of?

00:05:29.825 --> 00:05:33.693
Red. Green. Blue.

00:05:35.135 --> 00:05:39.394
Red. Green. Blue.

00:05:41.171 --> 00:05:44.617
Red. Green. Blue.

00:05:47.984 --> 00:05:51.640
If you want to turn yourself 
into a proud samurai warrior,

00:05:51.640 --> 00:05:54.408
you need the katana samurai sword.

00:05:54.408 --> 00:05:58.110
This high-quality plastic weapon 
is a Japanese long sword

00:05:58.110 --> 00:06:01.469
which will look just perfect 
with your traditional Japanese hakama.

00:06:01.469 --> 00:06:03.805
And the traditional Japanese geta.

00:06:03.805 --> 00:06:06.374
And add the finishing touch 
to your Asian outfit:

00:06:06.374 --> 00:06:08.795
the black and gold katana samurai sword

00:06:08.795 --> 00:06:10.708
comes with a matching black scabbard

00:06:10.708 --> 00:06:12.555
so it can be stored safely.

00:06:12.555 --> 00:06:14.918
The Japanese sword 
will protect you in fights

00:06:14.918 --> 00:06:17.268
and is sure to make you 
an eye-catcher in any party.

00:06:17.268 --> 00:06:20.162
Size length, 105 centimeters.

00:06:20.162 --> 00:06:22.674
Blade length, 70 centimeters.

00:06:22.674 --> 00:06:24.728
Material, plastic.

00:06:29.788 --> 00:06:32.939
Yeah, so... a couple years ago

00:06:33.107 --> 00:06:35.201
a bunch of us went down to the beach

00:06:35.201 --> 00:06:41.428
and we got there and coast guards running

00:06:41.428 --> 00:06:43.948
all up and down the sand like,
"You can't get in the water."

00:06:43.948 --> 00:06:44.674
You know?

00:06:44.674 --> 00:06:46.115
Screaming at us.

00:06:46.115 --> 00:06:48.054
So we waited a bit and they went 
further down the beach

00:06:48.054 --> 00:06:49.988
and then we decided we would go.

00:06:49.988 --> 00:06:51.858
Like, what the fuck?
Why did we come here?

00:06:51.858 --> 00:06:55.175
So my buddy went down there and he's like,

00:06:55.175 --> 00:06:57.533
"All good, come down here, man."

00:06:57.533 --> 00:07:00.161
So I walked over and we looked down.

00:07:00.161 --> 00:07:02.268
And we couldn't see it 
from where we were parked,

00:07:02.268 --> 00:07:04.288
but when we looked down, 
we were really close.

00:07:04.288 --> 00:07:07.216
You looked down and there 
just all these fucking jellyfish.

00:07:07.216 --> 00:07:11.602
Like, one every... like all over the place.

00:07:11.602 --> 00:07:13.806
One every two or three feet.

00:07:13.806 --> 00:07:15.808
And from where we were standing,
you couldn't really tell

00:07:15.808 --> 00:07:20.188
if they were living or dead, you know?

00:07:20.188 --> 00:07:21.859
'Cause some of them were still moving,

00:07:21.859 --> 00:07:26.766
but then others were just totally limp.

00:07:31.136 --> 00:07:34.788
So... tell me what it's like 
growing up in Singapore.

00:07:36.207 --> 00:07:43.980
Well, we had... I had 
these really magnificent memories

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:45.879
of my childhood.

00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:47.783
We had these magnificent playgrounds.

00:07:47.783 --> 00:07:51.734
There was, like, these big watermelons.

00:07:51.734 --> 00:07:58.083
I remember I used to climb 
to the top of the watermelon

00:07:58.083 --> 00:08:00.578
and I'd rub myself on the ridges

00:08:00.578 --> 00:08:03.448
to give myself pleasure.

00:08:12.910 --> 00:08:15.075
You think we could fall 
in love on the internet?

00:08:19.542 --> 00:08:21.961
No.

00:08:26.251 --> 00:08:29.116
'Cause it wouldn't be love.
It'd just be porn.

00:08:31.123 --> 00:08:33.774
I don't think so.

00:08:36.995 --> 00:08:40.291
[Seem] from a distance,
almost everything looks beautiful.

00:08:40.291 --> 00:08:44.368
As the distance increases, 
the more you romanticize.

00:08:44.368 --> 00:08:48.920
All the small details from 
the everyday reminisces the past.

00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:53.639
Because things we want to forget 
are the things we can never forget.

00:08:59.582 --> 00:09:00.887
DO IT!

00:09:01.875 --> 00:09:03.426
JUST DO IT!

00:09:04.926 --> 00:09:06.930
Don't let your dreams be dreams.

00:09:06.930 --> 00:09:09.420
Yesterday you said tomorrow.

00:09:09.420 --> 00:09:11.653
So just DO IT!

00:09:11.653 --> 00:09:14.020
Make your dreams come true!

00:09:14.020 --> 00:09:16.414
Just DO IT!

00:09:19.187 --> 00:09:21.675
Some people dream of success
while you're gonna wake up

00:09:21.675 --> 00:09:23.240
and work hard at it!

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:24.805
Nothing is impossible.

00:09:24.805 --> 00:09:30.067
You should get to the point
where anyone else would quit

00:09:30.067 --> 00:09:31.857
and you're not gonna stop there.

00:09:31.857 --> 00:09:34.259
No, what are you waiting for?

00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:36.553
DO IT!

00:09:36.553 --> 00:09:41.371
Just... DO IT!

00:09:41.371 --> 00:09:43.038
Yes, you can!

00:09:43.038 --> 00:09:44.540
Just do it.

00:09:49.190 --> 00:09:53.831
If you're tired of starting over,
stop giving up.

00:10:03.207 --> 00:10:05.607
Emerging gaming technologies 
operate within a nexus

00:10:05.607 --> 00:10:08.691
of social relationships that 
characterize the modern world.

00:10:08.691 --> 00:10:11.587
These technologies enable 
a constant commentary

00:10:11.587 --> 00:10:13.788
which has become 
the quintessential quality of power,

00:10:13.788 --> 00:10:16.896
often operating as mechanisms 
that dictate our action

00:10:16.896 --> 00:10:18.853
and pre-ordain our expectations.

00:10:18.853 --> 00:10:21.853
The work interrogates 
the cultural logic of feedback

00:10:21.853 --> 00:10:24.281
as a metaphor and material condition.

00:10:24.281 --> 00:10:28.275
It is live, cybernetic, reactive.

00:10:28.275 --> 00:10:32.807
Sensory data translated 
through visual and tactile apparatus.

00:10:32.807 --> 00:10:36.760
Disillusion of the virtual 
and corporeal boundary,

00:10:36.760 --> 00:10:42.354
reorienting perspective of the existing
and the alternative space and time.

00:10:42.354 --> 00:10:45.298
An avatar in symbiosis with the subject,

00:10:45.298 --> 00:10:50.195
taking the lead in a continuous loop 
of action and reaction.

00:10:58.247 --> 00:10:59.813
We're surrounded by forms.

00:11:02.270 --> 00:11:03.810
Yet it's still so elusive, right?

00:11:05.633 --> 00:11:08.892
You know, sometimes it feels 
like we fill that void between us

00:11:08.892 --> 00:11:10.773
with something that grows slowly,

00:11:10.773 --> 00:11:12.621
like it's overtaking us or something.

00:11:12.621 --> 00:11:16.607
Through the way we speak,
or what we do,

00:11:16.607 --> 00:11:18.172
where we put stuff around us,

00:11:18.172 --> 00:11:21.819
even the stances we inhabit
or the faces we make

00:11:21.819 --> 00:11:24.223
or even the body parts, you know?

00:11:24.223 --> 00:11:25.793
The food we eat. Whatever.

00:11:25.793 --> 00:11:29.426
Sometimes it gets heavier, you know?

00:11:29.426 --> 00:11:33.480
Or more light, but 
it's like all the distinctions

00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.696
are starting to melt away.

00:11:35.696 --> 00:11:40.181
The forms, the resemblances,
the symmetries,

00:11:40.181 --> 00:11:41.916
the repetitions, the patterns.

00:11:41.916 --> 00:11:45.861
Patterns that we know we have always had,

00:11:45.861 --> 00:11:48.521
that have always been there
and we're not sure why.

00:11:48.521 --> 00:11:55.153
And now... the outside looks 
more and more like the images

00:11:55.153 --> 00:11:58.139
that were contained in us 
since the beginning.

00:12:04.619 --> 00:12:06.562
Hi. Thank you for waiting.

00:12:07.297 --> 00:12:09.157
We've been running 
a little bit behind today.

00:12:09.157 --> 00:12:10.642
Right.

00:12:10.642 --> 00:12:12.917
As you know, we've taken a few readings

00:12:12.917 --> 00:12:15.309
and these get sent away.

00:12:15.309 --> 00:12:17.957
We have a look at them.
We meet, a group of us.

00:12:17.957 --> 00:12:20.056
Many years of experience.

00:12:20.056 --> 00:12:22.203
We have a look and we see what we can see.

00:12:22.203 --> 00:12:23.870
Does that make sense?

00:12:23.870 --> 00:12:25.065
If I ju--

00:12:25.065 --> 00:12:28.197
If you just have a look here, really...

00:12:28.197 --> 00:12:34.527
The system's really slow, 
so it's a case of monitoring.

00:12:34.527 --> 00:12:37.340
And you monitoring 
and you just letting us know

00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:39.340
if you notice anything unusual.

00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:40.933
Would you be able to do this?

00:12:40.933 --> 00:12:42.560
Hmm?

00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:47.497
You have any questions?

00:12:54.427 --> 00:12:55.847
Double.

00:12:57.782 --> 00:12:59.177
Double sided.

00:12:59.334 --> 00:13:01.771
Minds. Different paths.

00:13:01.771 --> 00:13:05.795
One runs after sunlight,
one follows the rising moon.

00:13:05.795 --> 00:13:09.547
They either congregate, 
connect, intersect, touch,

00:13:09.547 --> 00:13:12.423
unite at sunset for eclipses...

00:13:12.423 --> 00:13:16.111
play and then separate 
for long interstices.

00:13:16.111 --> 00:13:21.134
Later, re-enacting past meetings 
forever lost in repetition.

00:13:25.244 --> 00:13:29.141
Ebb and flow, edging closer.

00:13:30.172 --> 00:13:31.641
Expanding warmth.

00:13:31.641 --> 00:13:35.068
That point just before the pressure bursts.

00:13:35.068 --> 00:13:37.755
Capillary rush.

00:13:37.755 --> 00:13:41.494
Tension. Resisting.

00:13:41.494 --> 00:13:48.773
Each muscle, each limb, 
each breath under control for now.

00:13:48.773 --> 00:13:52.761
Questions of limitations 
dissolve into the blur.

00:13:52.761 --> 00:13:55.982
Eyes open, but horizons fall away.

00:13:55.982 --> 00:13:58.261
The burn increases now.

00:13:58.261 --> 00:14:00.121
(Shia grunts)

00:14:00.121 --> 00:14:01.846
The pain sensors...

00:14:01.846 --> 00:14:04.940
one of you escapes, but I pull you back.

00:14:04.940 --> 00:14:07.605
Heh. Duality.

00:14:07.605 --> 00:14:11.001
Existing only as a whole.

00:14:11.001 --> 00:14:13.887
Weakened by quivering joints.

00:14:13.887 --> 00:14:18.215
Lungs push for release,
a struggle to hold on.

00:14:18.215 --> 00:14:24.302
Control surrendered, suspended in dullness.

00:14:24.302 --> 00:14:26.945
Eyes close.

00:14:26.945 --> 00:14:30.102
Now numb.

00:14:34.182 --> 00:14:39.546
Running, reaching, falling, 
skipping, turning, sliding, walking.

00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:42.130
These are all words 
that describe ways of moving.

00:14:42.130 --> 00:14:45.489
Each action is packed 
with many micro-movements.

00:14:45.489 --> 00:14:49.042
It's hard for us to recognize 
these small movements individually.

00:14:49.042 --> 00:14:52.364
When describing how to walk, 
we use the simplest terms possible

00:14:52.364 --> 00:14:55.145
and struggle to explain all 
the mechanics of a simple movement.

00:14:55.145 --> 00:14:58.570
Understanding body movement 
in the terms of everyday language

00:14:58.570 --> 00:15:01.554
should be simple, however 
our muscle memory takes over

00:15:01.554 --> 00:15:03.813
for our brain and our body 
becomes a strange system

00:15:03.813 --> 00:15:07.476
of levers and pulleys 
that maneuver by our command.

00:15:11.626 --> 00:15:13.546
She sits.

00:15:15.734 --> 00:15:17.040
I squirt toothpaste in my mouth.

00:15:17.406 --> 00:15:18.541
I start to brush.

00:15:18.741 --> 00:15:20.708
She's looking at me.
I look at her.

00:15:20.708 --> 00:15:22.341
I keep brushing whilst looking.

00:15:22.341 --> 00:15:24.908
I'll start looking at her.
She looks at me

00:15:24.908 --> 00:15:27.732
and I continue to brush, 
getting faster, getting harder.

00:15:27.732 --> 00:15:30.812
I start to gag.

00:15:30.812 --> 00:15:34.153
My eyes leak and I still look at her.

00:15:34.153 --> 00:15:37.804
She looks at me and I keep brushing, gaggin.

00:15:37.804 --> 00:15:40.349
I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

00:15:40.349 --> 00:15:42.315
Am I gonna be sick?

00:15:42.315 --> 00:15:48.423
Gagging! Paste down my face, 
my hair, on my shirt.

00:15:48.423 --> 00:15:54.427
Dripping, and I still look at her
and she looks at me.

00:15:55.355 --> 00:15:56.580
Enough.

00:16:04.185 --> 00:16:08.512
The sculpture, the painter,
the video maker,

00:16:08.512 --> 00:16:12.335
the figure of the artist has been 
as fetishized in Western culture

00:16:12.335 --> 00:16:15.818
as the Hollywood actor,
the town drunk or the Messiah himself.

00:16:15.818 --> 00:16:19.368
[Michael Peter's take shots],
attempts to reconfigure

00:16:19.368 --> 00:16:23.355
the concept of creator or creatrix
by placing himself in the position

00:16:23.355 --> 00:16:25.274
of artist as meme.

00:16:25.274 --> 00:16:29.048
Watch, enjoy, and be one.

00:16:31.061 --> 00:16:32.466
We are all children of the universe.

00:16:51.939 --> 00:16:53.435
Yeah, absolutely.

00:16:54.786 --> 00:16:57.166
I feel my absence 
in the absence of all things.

00:17:01.461 --> 00:17:05.584
Belief in living has been 
contorted into this shortened life

00:17:05.584 --> 00:17:08.166
of contempt and pre-determined in prison.

00:17:08.166 --> 00:17:09.554
And I...

00:17:09.554 --> 00:17:13.683
(sighs)

00:17:14.943 --> 00:17:16.145
I feel it all collapsing.

00:17:18.306 --> 00:17:20.838
I CAN'T FUCKING EMBRACE IT!

00:17:25.389 --> 00:17:26.821
(sighs)

00:17:30.325 --> 00:17:31.618
(sighs)

00:17:40.705 --> 00:17:44.321
[It's near] and here I stand...

00:17:48.611 --> 00:17:52.183
wasting my last moments, 
cursing thee who impress me this

00:17:52.183 --> 00:17:53.733
[your fate].

00:17:56.677 --> 00:17:57.979
You give nothing.

00:17:58.213 --> 00:18:00.279
No mercy, no empathy.

00:18:02.199 --> 00:18:03.518
Only self-hate.

00:18:03.736 --> 00:18:05.436
To you, I'm just a fucking plaything.

00:18:05.707 --> 00:18:08.051
An amusement replicating the cries of man.

00:18:08.051 --> 00:18:11.474
You replay the last moments 
of my life over and over and over!

00:18:11.474 --> 00:18:15.234
I'm just a fucking charade 
suspended at the core of ridicule

00:18:15.234 --> 00:18:19.609
and I pity for those whose end mirrors mine

00:18:19.609 --> 00:18:21.581
and I pity myself.

00:18:21.581 --> 00:18:24.976
(sniffles)

00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:28.368
I'm helpless.

00:18:29.595 --> 00:18:30.769
Thank you.

00:18:37.793 --> 00:18:40.813
I'm tormented by the inescapable

00:18:40.813 --> 00:18:44.686
rewinding collapse.

00:18:49.121 --> 00:18:50.488
Don't let them see me like this.

00:18:53.673 --> 00:18:54.995
Man is under surveillance.

00:18:56.345 --> 00:18:57.441
Where is he going?

00:18:58.398 --> 00:19:01.213
Almost into a state of euphoria, of relief,

00:19:01.213 --> 00:19:03.049
as though he's happy about it.

00:19:03.049 --> 00:19:06.081
He has to act as a looking glass
rather than a mirror

00:19:06.081 --> 00:19:07.975
of social conventions.

00:19:07.975 --> 00:19:12.101
He disintegrated perfectly,
but never reappeared.

00:19:12.101 --> 00:19:15.495
He became translucent to reveal his reality.

00:19:15.495 --> 00:19:20.108
It's impossible unless he is, 
or was, insane.

00:19:20.108 --> 00:19:25.470
He changed his mind.
You know how men are.

00:19:25.470 --> 00:19:29.662
Perhaps it symbolizes something deep 
in the subconscious.

00:19:30.051 --> 00:19:37.567
(silence until 19:43)

00:19:43.796 --> 00:19:45.739
Feeling genuinely upset.

00:19:49.974 --> 00:19:51.983
Tears [level]. Hmm.

00:19:57.475 --> 00:19:58.671
Shame on me.

00:20:00.382 --> 00:20:02.827
My face is [receptical] on surface.

00:20:02.827 --> 00:20:06.365
A surface that's throwing up 
what's already there.

00:20:07.866 --> 00:20:09.708
[Wet ware and ? stuff].

00:20:09.708 --> 00:20:14.486
Confrontation is post. Preferably.

00:20:14.486 --> 00:20:17.635
Living in [?] like over and under.

00:20:17.635 --> 00:20:20.768
With grapple here 
is approaching confrontation.

00:20:20.768 --> 00:20:23.122
Or surface lump rolled out.

00:20:23.122 --> 00:20:29.713
You go through the dump 
to form a projectile semi-bound

00:20:29.713 --> 00:20:31.857
like protest song collapsed.

00:20:31.857 --> 00:20:35.329
Needs filled for no other.

00:20:36.388 --> 00:20:38.955
Forced partly forever as long 
as I leave you together.

00:20:42.145 --> 00:20:43.307
Art hits.

00:20:45.367 --> 00:20:46.693
Whatever I point at is big.

00:20:52.595 --> 00:21:33.491
Snapped leg. Snapped leg. (until 21:35)

00:21:36.896 --> 00:21:38.916
Chalk circle.

00:21:38.916 --> 00:21:42.242
Another one of those days where you think,
"Shit, I've done nothing today."

00:21:42.242 --> 00:21:43.416
This London Underground journey

00:21:43.416 --> 00:21:45.841
needs no excessive 
mental activity to perform.

00:21:46.288 --> 00:21:48.375
I'm stuck in a strange 
modern day meditation.

00:21:48.375 --> 00:21:50.643
This space asks for an interruption.

00:21:50.643 --> 00:21:53.533
When it happens, it's a moment 
of pure panic and confusion.

00:21:53.533 --> 00:21:55.928
All previous expectations are obliterated.

00:21:55.928 --> 00:21:57.722
[A second velation].

00:21:57.722 --> 00:21:59.672
The rules are being broken here.

00:21:59.672 --> 00:22:02.432
Quickly, it passes.

00:22:02.432 --> 00:22:05.921
I'm back in the routine.

00:22:05.921 --> 00:22:08.954
There's an expansion 
of discovery and limitation,

00:22:08.954 --> 00:22:11.508
even if I'm thinking, 
"Fuck. This is boring"

00:22:11.508 --> 00:22:14.388
as I scribble repetitively onto the floor.

00:22:18.708 --> 00:22:21.881
Between the visible and invisible lies 
a glistening rectangular pane,

00:22:22.833 --> 00:22:24.668
a transparent veil.

00:22:25.904 --> 00:22:28.201
This thin glossy sheet of glass, 
so innocent looking,

00:22:28.201 --> 00:22:30.941
is the frontier between 
the physicality of toil

00:22:30.941 --> 00:22:33.261
and the ignorance of immateriality.

00:22:33.261 --> 00:22:38.383
Liquid crystals oscillating between 
a seamless fluid and solid state

00:22:38.383 --> 00:22:41.645
produce a viscous reality 
that's almost palpable,

00:22:41.645 --> 00:22:44.969
almost attainable but succeeds 
only in abstracting.

00:22:44.969 --> 00:22:48.582
The heightened artifice 
perpetuates [animinity],

00:22:48.582 --> 00:22:50.905
outsourced far away.

00:22:50.905 --> 00:22:55.376
Dead labor turns to capital
and power relations dissolve.

00:22:55.376 --> 00:22:58.395
All that is solid melts into the air.

00:23:03.325 --> 00:23:06.088
These light installations do
not provide an original experience.

00:23:07.581 --> 00:23:09.548
Instead, the audience 
will witness occurrences

00:23:09.548 --> 00:23:11.905
they have previously encountered 
in their everyday lives

00:23:11.905 --> 00:23:15.036
on bedroom walls, floors, 
and through bus windows

00:23:15.364 --> 00:23:17.221
but may have never noticed.

00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:20.609
Observing, recording, 
and recreating studies of light,

00:23:21.505 --> 00:23:23.859
this series of events are light occurrences 
that have captured

00:23:23.859 --> 00:23:26.443
and digitally recreated using projectors

00:23:26.443 --> 00:23:29.076
as the technology [was staged 
then] in this space.

00:23:29.076 --> 00:23:32.269
Do you either go noticed or unnoticed?

00:23:37.229 --> 00:23:41.289
What you're about to witness 
is quite definitely horrible.

00:23:42.585 --> 00:23:45.344
British artist [Jack Evans], 
when he was raised in Mansfield,

00:23:45.344 --> 00:23:50.012
[part of the midlands], is now one of the most 
southern parts in the UK,

00:23:50.838 --> 00:23:52.240
Brighton Beach.

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.701
And the hellish winter cold 
laid out nothing but [rains].

00:23:55.701 --> 00:24:00.560
His favorite pair of speedos 
and a fucking tacky shit gold watch,

00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:04.051
eating what I believe 
those Brits call a [99 Flake].

00:24:04.051 --> 00:24:07.507
His body looks glorious 
as it shivers in the wind.

00:24:07.507 --> 00:24:10.894
I do have to remind you, 
especially the ladies,

00:24:10.894 --> 00:24:13.655
it was fucking cold.

00:24:13.655 --> 00:24:15.760
Enjoy.

00:24:20.225 --> 00:24:22.773
Hold your breath.
Count to two.

00:24:24.285 --> 00:24:26.486
Come with us in a world of pure imagination.

00:24:27.386 --> 00:24:30.213
Take a look and you'll see 
into our imagination.

00:24:31.553 --> 00:24:34.278
We'll begin travelling 
in the world of our creation.

00:24:35.567 --> 00:24:38.030
What you'll see will have no explanation.

00:24:39.317 --> 00:24:40.785
Look around.

00:24:40.923 --> 00:24:43.585
There's no life to compare 
with living with no [pixellation].

00:24:56.781 --> 00:25:01.338
[Joe Mass] was Shia LaBeouf 
before Shia LaBeouf was [Joe Mass].

00:25:06.492 --> 00:25:08.378
We only got 30 seconds, 
so I mean, I'll try his voice

00:25:08.378 --> 00:25:10.998
but... I don't know.

00:25:11.641 --> 00:25:13.730
Who makes that choice?
Who's pretending to be who?

00:25:13.730 --> 00:25:17.219
We're pretending to talk 
to a you that doesn't exist yet,

00:25:17.219 --> 00:25:18.824
but what's really going on here?

00:25:18.824 --> 00:25:22.589
I... fuck, I don't think 
any of us understand.

00:25:22.743 --> 00:25:24.371
Maybe you do.

00:25:25.483 --> 00:25:26.845
There's always reflections 
of you in the screen,

00:25:26.845 --> 00:25:28.264
but I can't speak.
I'm dumb.

00:25:28.264 --> 00:25:30.036
I'm the dumbest when Shia talks.

00:25:30.036 --> 00:25:33.165
Fuck, 30 seconds.
All right.

00:25:33.303 --> 00:25:34.740
Pressure, whatever.

00:25:35.005 --> 00:25:36.298
Hey, mom, it's really Joe.

00:25:36.298 --> 00:25:38.106
I bet you never thought
this would fucking happen, huh?

00:25:38.106 --> 00:25:39.467
(chuckles)

00:25:43.307 --> 00:25:45.747
Work number 24 oscillates somewhere between

00:25:45.747 --> 00:25:47.867
a [durational] performance in live sculpture.

00:25:48.149 --> 00:25:51.866
The work seeks to act both 
as a social and institutional critique

00:25:51.866 --> 00:25:55.512
of "What is an art school?"
presented then in a form

00:25:55.512 --> 00:25:57.371
of a bookshop, as opposed to a library,

00:25:57.371 --> 00:25:59.531
arguably a democratic equivalent.

00:25:59.531 --> 00:26:01.854
The work seeks to explore 
the currency of ideas,

00:26:01.854 --> 00:26:04.688
how trade and exchange 
is not only [commoditized],

00:26:04.688 --> 00:26:07.898
but perhaps how conversation 
is perhaps a vital component

00:26:07.898 --> 00:26:10.626
in the flow and disruption 
of how culture manifests.

00:26:15.366 --> 00:26:17.890
A practice revolves around 
questions of fact and fiction

00:26:17.890 --> 00:26:19.840
and the blurred line that lies between.

00:26:20.690 --> 00:26:22.657
I'm interested in how surveillance images

00:26:22.657 --> 00:26:25.113
can be manipulated 
and orchestrated in order to create

00:26:25.113 --> 00:26:28.179
a particular narrative, 
creating an unreliable narrator.

00:26:28.179 --> 00:26:30.518
There are three parts to the work:

00:26:30.518 --> 00:26:34.071
Footage of a factual space,
whereby a sequence of events

00:26:34.071 --> 00:26:37.001
has occured, the digital 
drawing of the space,

00:26:37.001 --> 00:26:40.925
and a stripped-back stage 
to its crude simplest skeletal form,

00:26:40.925 --> 00:26:43.251
where the sequence 
of events is re-enacted.

00:26:43.251 --> 00:26:46.945
The stage is a factual representation 
of a real life space

00:26:46.945 --> 00:26:49.847
whereby every property 
is identical in dimensions.

00:26:53.857 --> 00:26:56.506
57,910,000.

00:26:57.618 --> 00:26:59.951
108,200,000.

00:27:00.471 --> 00:27:02.940
149,600,000.

00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:06.471
227,940,000.

00:27:06.471 --> 00:27:10.201
778,330,000.

00:27:10.201 --> 00:27:13.856
1,429,400,000.

00:27:14.590 --> 00:27:18.347
2,970,990,000.

00:27:18.506 --> 00:27:20.403
4,000,000,500.

00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:21.786
4 million, 5 billion...

00:27:21.786 --> 00:27:24.856
913,520,000.

00:27:29.376 --> 00:27:31.935
I can't stop looking at my phone and computer.

00:27:33.376 --> 00:27:36.433
Separate connected entity making 
me lose time and space awareness.

00:27:36.433 --> 00:27:38.100
Where's my phone?

00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:40.185
I need to make this sunset digital.

00:27:40.185 --> 00:27:43.042
[A stone] preserved in binary code

00:27:43.042 --> 00:27:44.973
until the server breaks 
and the national grid

00:27:44.973 --> 00:27:46.705
runs out of gas.

00:27:46.705 --> 00:27:48.335
I can't find my money.

00:27:48.335 --> 00:27:50.049
Dad left the physical sphere long ago.

00:27:50.049 --> 00:27:53.542
All I see remind me of things online
or in a video game.

00:27:53.542 --> 00:27:55.635
They are so real in the moment.

00:27:55.635 --> 00:27:58.670
I climbed that mountain 
with my mind and fingers.

00:27:58.670 --> 00:28:00.688
My body didn't even get close.

00:28:00.688 --> 00:28:04.688
All my experiences turn 
into light and pixels.

00:28:09.148 --> 00:28:11.927
Errrrrrmmmm

00:28:12.468 --> 00:28:15.297
Ummmmmmmmm

00:28:15.905 --> 00:28:19.026
Oohhhhhhhmmmm

00:28:20.826 --> 00:28:23.995
Ooohmmmmmmm

00:28:24.795 --> 00:28:28.790
Errrrrmmmmmmmm

00:28:28.790 --> 00:28:32.610
Ummmmmmmmmm

00:28:32.610 --> 00:28:35.469
Ooohhmmmmmm

00:28:37.097 --> 00:28:39.996
Ohhmmmmmmm

00:28:39.996 --> 00:28:46.109
Errrrmmmmmmmm

00:28:46.109 --> 00:28:50.025
Ummmmmmmmmm

00:28:50.025 --> 00:28:53.615
Ohhmmmmmmmm

00:28:55.915 --> 00:28:59.435
Ohhmmmmmmm

00:29:00.395 --> 00:29:03.688
Errmmmmmmmm

00:29:04.331 --> 00:29:07.388
Ummmmmmmmmm

00:29:07.861 --> 00:29:11.022
Ohhmmmmmmm

00:29:12.275 --> 00:29:15.369
Ohhmmmmmmmmm

00:29:15.991 --> 00:29:20.615
Errmmmmmmmmm

00:29:21.290 --> 00:29:23.488
Ummmmmmmm
