1
00:00:00,181 --> 00:00:01,347
A thing is happening.

2
00:00:01,847 --> 00:00:04,947
Beauty's at work through 
pure and selfless acceptance,

3
00:00:04,947 --> 00:00:08,195
through everyday transcendence
that remedies the chaos,

4
00:00:08,195 --> 00:00:11,414
an antidote to the sorrow 
on this earth for eternity.

5
00:00:11,414 --> 00:00:14,955
Music heard so deeply 
that it is not heard at all.

6
00:00:14,955 --> 00:00:17,836
You are the music while the music lasts.

7
00:00:17,836 --> 00:00:20,305
Insist on beauty in spite of everything.

8
00:00:20,305 --> 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
00:00:29,203 --> 00:00:31,453
I can see your blue eyes 
and nose peering underneath

11
00:00:31,453 --> 00:00:33,279
the crash helmet.

12
00:00:33,279 --> 00:00:34,255
And it's not you.

13
00:00:34,255 --> 00:00:36,041
It's just a man that looks like you.

14
00:00:36,711 --> 00:00:38,275
I'm disappointed every time.

15
00:00:38,775 --> 00:00:42,700
Every time I see a man on a motorbike,
I think it's my dad.

16
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:45,702
I'm not sure why this is.

17
00:00:47,802 --> 00:00:50,072
Sometimes I forget 
what your bike looks like.

18
00:00:51,032 --> 00:00:53,553
Everyone's eyes and faces 
look the same underneath

19
00:00:53,553 --> 00:00:55,211
black crash helmets.

20
00:00:55,211 --> 00:00:58,114
From a distance, everyone looks like you.

21
00:00:58,114 --> 00:00:59,984
Although soon I realize it's not.

22
00:01:01,354 --> 00:01:03,354
I remember you used 
to paint pictures of naked women

23
00:01:03,354 --> 00:01:05,696
in crash helmets.

24
00:01:05,696 --> 00:01:08,268
Their identities were hidden too.

25
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:10,847
I always wondered who these women were,

26
00:01:10,847 --> 00:01:14,407
their shiny black round heads 
like lollipops.

27
00:01:14,407 --> 00:01:15,526
Props.

28
00:01:17,186 --> 00:01:18,584
Who were they, dad?

29
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:24,035
(inhales softly)

30
00:01:24,335 --> 00:01:26,509
(exhales softly)

31
00:01:27,008 --> 00:01:36,753
(silence)

32
00:01:55,530 --> 00:01:56,612
Breath.

33
00:02:01,433 --> 00:02:03,994
(approaching footsteps)

34
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,279
A laughing heart...

35
00:02:12,112 --> 00:02:13,563
Your life is your life.

36
00:02:14,481 --> 00:02:16,694
Don't let it be clubbed into submission.

37
00:02:17,731 --> 00:02:20,616
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.

38
00:02:21,093 --> 00:02:22,525
There's light somewhere.

39
00:02:23,235 --> 00:02:25,928
It may not be much light, 
but it beats the darkness.

40
00:02:26,558 --> 00:02:27,928
Be on the watch.

41
00:02:28,498 --> 00:02:30,521
The gods will offer you chances.

42
00:02:31,081 --> 00:02:33,536
Know them. Take them.

43
00:02:34,196 --> 00:02:38,682
You can't beat death, 
but you can beat death in life sometimes.

44
00:02:39,782 --> 00:02:41,921
And the more often you learn to do it,

45
00:02:42,641 --> 00:02:44,328
the more light there will be.

46
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:46,792
Your life is your life.

47
00:02:47,212 --> 00:02:48,760
Know it while you have it.

48
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:51,237
You are marvelous.

49
00:02:52,517 --> 00:02:54,901
The gods wait to delight in you.

50
00:03:03,091 --> 00:03:05,972
Rascal was a wildcat 
when it was four degrees outside.

51
00:03:06,888 --> 00:03:09,658
When I moved in she'd stand 
with me in winter and rain,

52
00:03:09,658 --> 00:03:12,095
sleep with me, mostly outside.

53
00:03:12,845 --> 00:03:15,079
Hunter, I never tried to break her spirit.

54
00:03:17,049 --> 00:03:18,685
Hit by a car in front of me.

55
00:03:19,565 --> 00:03:20,755
I was shocked.

56
00:03:21,625 --> 00:03:24,281
I buried her by cat litter and wild food,

57
00:03:24,281 --> 00:03:26,527
her sunshine place 
could only dig the stones

58
00:03:26,527 --> 00:03:29,948
because of city sewage pipes 
about three or four feet.

59
00:03:30,998 --> 00:03:35,176
I wish it was deeper, next to keep 
other animals from digging her up.

60
00:03:35,176 --> 00:03:36,685
When I find stones, I'll cover up

61
00:03:36,685 --> 00:03:39,231
[inaudible] begin to swell.

62
00:03:39,231 --> 00:03:42,143
If so, I'll put more soil on top.

63
00:03:43,123 --> 00:03:47,103
First, cat and friend.

64
00:03:51,293 --> 00:03:53,779
Hi. Yeah.

65
00:03:54,921 --> 00:03:57,160
I saw you last night. Hmm.

66
00:03:58,091 --> 00:04:00,255
I was in the club. Yup.

67
00:04:01,755 --> 00:04:03,211
I saw who you were with too.

68
00:04:04,112 --> 00:04:05,992
She was holding you so tight.

69
00:04:06,263 --> 00:04:07,962
Because she knows you want me.

70
00:04:09,605 --> 00:04:12,265
Oh, naw. She can't love you.

71
00:04:12,995 --> 00:04:14,651
She can't love you like I do.

72
00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:19,415
I said to myself that 
you must be out of your mind.

73
00:04:19,415 --> 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
00:04:23,814 --> 00:04:24,999
Oh, no.

76
00:04:24,999 --> 00:04:26,445
But she can't love you.

77
00:04:27,065 --> 00:04:28,775
She can't love you like I do.

78
00:04:29,835 --> 00:04:32,996
You're missing my beat
and I'm needing your moves.

79
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:37,049
Let's give it one more try.
Let's get back in the groove.

80
00:04:37,679 --> 00:04:39,355
Because she can't love you.

81
00:04:40,965 --> 00:04:42,756
She can't love you like I do.

82
00:04:47,306 --> 00:04:49,749
When I was younger, 
my father was the producer

83
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:53,645
of a transvestite troupe
and it seemed a dream for me

84
00:04:53,645 --> 00:04:56,198
to be able to observe 
what was behind the curtain.

85
00:04:56,858 --> 00:04:59,817
I think this is when it all started,
while growing up.

86
00:04:59,817 --> 00:05:01,818
I kept on searching 
for this feeling of wonder,

87
00:05:01,818 --> 00:05:03,738
this taste for metamorphosis.

88
00:05:04,788 --> 00:05:08,205
I direct speak of cabarets,
shows, or even strange.

89
00:05:08,545 --> 00:05:12,446
From video to another, 
off the same protagonist progresses

90
00:05:12,446 --> 00:05:16,015
in this mysterious 
and phantasmagorical universe.

91
00:05:16,015 --> 00:05:19,180
I consider my videos as living paintings.

92
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:22,013
I use the camera 
as a painter with his brushes.

93
00:05:24,573 --> 00:05:26,235
What could my world be made of?

94
00:05:29,775 --> 00:05:33,453
Red. Green. Blue.

95
00:05:35,715 --> 00:05:39,264
Red. Green. Blue.

96
00:05:41,161 --> 00:05:44,407
Red. Green. Blue.

97
00:05:48,784 --> 00:05:52,110
If you want to turn yourself 
into a proud samurai warrior,

98
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:54,708
you need the katana samurai sword.

99
00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:57,870
This high-quality plastic weapon 
is a Japanese long sword

100
00:05:57,870 --> 00:06:01,639
which will look just perfect 
with your traditional Japanese hakama

101
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:03,805
and the traditional Japanese geta.

102
00:06:03,805 --> 00:06:06,424
And add the finishing touch 
to your Asian outfit:

103
00:06:06,424 --> 00:06:08,435
the black and gold katana samurai sword

104
00:06:08,435 --> 00:06:10,548
comes with a matching black scabbard

105
00:06:10,548 --> 00:06:12,535
so it can be stored safely.

106
00:06:12,535 --> 00:06:14,768
The Japanese sword 
will protect you in fights

107
00:06:14,768 --> 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 --> 00:06:22,634
Blade length, 70 centimeters.

110
00:06:22,634 --> 00:06:24,578
Material, plastic.

111
00:06:29,938 --> 00:06:33,279
Yeah, so... a couple years ago

112
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,781
a bunch of us went down to the beach

113
00:06:35,781 --> 00:06:41,068
and we got there and coast guards running

114
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:43,218
all up and down the sand like,
"You can't get in the water."

115
00:06:43,218 --> 00:06:44,914
You know?
Screaming at us.

116
00:06:45,545 --> 00:06:47,724
So we waited a bit and they went 
further down the beach

117
00:06:47,724 --> 00:06:49,628
and then we decided we would go.

118
00:06:49,628 --> 00:06:51,498
Like, what the fuck?
Why did we come here?

119
00:06:51,498 --> 00:06:55,765
So my buddy went down there and he's like,

120
00:06:55,765 --> 00:06:57,353
"All good, come down here, man."

121
00:06:57,353 --> 00:07:00,461
So I walked over and we looked down.

122
00:07:00,461 --> 00:07:02,038
And we couldn't see it 
from where we were parked,

123
00:07:02,038 --> 00:07:04,468
but when we looked down, 
we were really close,

124
00:07:04,468 --> 00:07:07,066
you looked down and there 
just all these fucking jellyfish.

125
00:07:07,066 --> 00:07:11,262
Like, one every... like all over the place.

126
00:07:11,262 --> 00:07:13,616
One every two or three feet.

127
00:07:13,616 --> 00:07:16,588
And from where we were standing,
you couldn't really tell

128
00:07:17,258 --> 00:07:20,158
if they were living or dead, you know?

129
00:07:20,158 --> 00:07:22,049
'Cause some of them were still moving,

130
00:07:22,049 --> 00:07:26,656
but then others were just totally limp.

131
00:07:30,796 --> 00:07:34,228
So... tell me what it's like 
growing up in Singapore.

132
00:07:38,727 --> 00:07:43,550
Well, we had... I had 
these really magnificent memories

133
00:07:43,550 --> 00:07:45,409
of my childhood.

134
00:07:45,409 --> 00:07:48,193
We had these magnificent playgrounds.

135
00:07:49,783 --> 00:07:51,734
There was, like, these big watermelons.

136
00:07:54,214 --> 00:07:58,173
I remember I used to climb 
to the top of the watermelon

137
00:07:58,173 --> 00:08:00,818
and I'd rub myself on the ridges

138
00:08:01,438 --> 00:08:02,868
to give myself pleasure.

139
00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:14,645
You think we could fall 
in love on the internet?

140
00:08:20,932 --> 00:08:21,961
No.

141
00:08:26,191 --> 00:08:28,986
'Cause it wouldn't be love.
It'd just be porn.

142
00:08:31,513 --> 00:08:32,794
I don't think so.

143
00:08:36,445 --> 00:08:40,971
Seen from a distance,
almost everything looks beautiful.

144
00:08:40,971 --> 00:08:45,158
As the distance increases, 
the more you romanticize.

145
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:49,540
All the small details from 
the everyday reminisces the past.

146
00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:53,509
Because things we want to forget 
are the things we can never forget.

147
00:08:59,332 --> 00:09:00,507
DO IT!

148
00:09:01,495 --> 00:09:03,116
JUST DO IT!

149
00:09:04,306 --> 00:09:06,930
Don't let your dreams be dreams.

150
00:09:07,310 --> 00:09:09,260
Yesterday you said tomorrow.

151
00:09:09,260 --> 00:09:11,503
So just DO IT!

152
00:09:11,503 --> 00:09:13,920
Make your dreams come true!

153
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,064
Just DO IT!

154
00:09:18,587 --> 00:09:21,475
Some people dream of success
while you're gonna wake up

155
00:09:21,475 --> 00:09:22,860
and work hard at it!

156
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:24,805
Nothing is impossible.

157
00:09:26,435 --> 00:09:29,797
You should get to the point
where anyone else would quit

158
00:09:29,797 --> 00:09:31,857
and you're not gonna stop there.

159
00:09:32,387 --> 00:09:34,189
No, what are you waiting for?

160
00:09:35,229 --> 00:09:36,513
DO IT!

161
00:09:38,093 --> 00:09:41,041
Just... DO IT!

162
00:09:41,191 --> 00:09:42,588
Yes, you can!

163
00:09:42,978 --> 00:09:44,350
Just do it.

164
00:09:48,860 --> 00:09:53,741
If you're tired of starting over,
stop giving up.

165
00:10:02,557 --> 00:10:05,417
Emerging gaming technologies 
operate within a nexus

166
00:10:05,417 --> 00:10:08,981
of social relationships that 
characterize the modern world.

167
00:10:08,981 --> 00:10:11,327
These technologies enable 
a constant commentary

168
00:10:11,327 --> 00:10:13,828
which has become 
the quintessential quality of power,

169
00:10:13,828 --> 00:10:16,676
often operating as mechanisms 
that dictate our action

170
00:10:16,676 --> 00:10:19,133
and pre-ordain our expectations.

171
00:10:19,133 --> 00:10:21,633
The work interrogates 
the cultural logic of feedback

172
00:10:21,633 --> 00:10:24,431
as a metaphor and material condition.

173
00:10:24,431 --> 00:10:29,035
It is live, cybernetic, reactive.

174
00:10:29,035 --> 00:10:33,397
Sensory data translated 
through visual and tactile apparatus.

175
00:10:33,397 --> 00:10:37,300
Disillusion of the virtual 
and corporeal boundary,

176
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:42,674
reorienting perspective of the existing
and the alternative space and time.

177
00:10:42,674 --> 00:10:46,078
An avatar in symbiosis with the subject,

178
00:10:46,078 --> 00:10:49,945
taking the lead in a continuous loop 
of action and reaction.

179
00:10:57,527 --> 00:10:59,303
We're surrounded by forms.

180
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,650
Yet it's still so elusive, right?

181
00:11:04,993 --> 00:11:08,532
You know, sometimes it feels 
like we fill that void between us

182
00:11:08,532 --> 00:11:10,743
with something that grows slowly,

183
00:11:10,743 --> 00:11:12,621
like it's overtaking us or something.

184
00:11:13,961 --> 00:11:16,407
Through the way we speak,
or what we do,

185
00:11:16,407 --> 00:11:17,792
where we put stuff around us,

186
00:11:17,792 --> 00:11:21,529
even the stances we inhabit
or the faces we make

187
00:11:21,529 --> 00:11:23,953
or even the body parts, you know?

188
00:11:23,953 --> 00:11:25,793
The food we eat. Whatever.

189
00:11:25,793 --> 00:11:29,426
Sometimes it gets heavier, you know?

190
00:11:30,396 --> 00:11:33,250
Or more light, but 
it's like all the distinctions

191
00:11:33,250 --> 00:11:36,196
are starting to melt away.

192
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:39,911
The forms, the resemblances,
the symmetries,

193
00:11:39,911 --> 00:11:42,686
the repetitions, the patterns.

194
00:11:42,686 --> 00:11:45,721
Patterns that we know we have always had,

195
00:11:45,721 --> 00:11:48,521
that have always been there
and we're not sure why.

196
00:11:49,231 --> 00:11:54,923
And now... the outside looks 
more and more like the images

197
00:11:54,923 --> 00:11:57,229
that were contained in us 
since the beginning.

198
00:12:04,049 --> 00:12:06,352
Hi. Thank you for waiting.

199
00:12:06,607 --> 00:12:09,157
We've been running 
a little bit behind today.

200
00:12:09,817 --> 00:12:11,072
Right.

201
00:12:11,072 --> 00:12:13,437
As you know, we've taken a few readings

202
00:12:13,437 --> 00:12:15,289
and these get sent away.

203
00:12:15,289 --> 00:12:17,647
We have a look at them.
We meet, a group of us.

204
00:12:17,647 --> 00:12:19,856
Many years of experience.

205
00:12:19,856 --> 00:12:22,253
We have a look and we see what we can see.

206
00:12:22,253 --> 00:12:23,710
Does that make sense?

207
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:25,065
If I ju--

208
00:12:26,275 --> 00:12:28,147
If you just have a look here, really...

209
00:12:29,777 --> 00:12:34,527
The system's really slow, 
so it's a case of monitoring.

210
00:12:35,057 --> 00:12:36,980
And you monitoring 
and you just letting us know

211
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:39,030
if you notice anything unusual.

212
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:40,933
Would you be able to do this?

213
00:12:41,813 --> 00:12:42,730
Hmm?

214
00:12:46,010 --> 00:12:47,477
You have any questions?

215
00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:55,847
Double.

216
00:12:57,122 --> 00:12:58,257
Double-sided.

217
00:12:58,814 --> 00:13:01,611
Minds. Different paths.

218
00:13:02,141 --> 00:13:06,245
One runs after sunlight,
one follows the rising moon.

219
00:13:06,245 --> 00:13:09,427
They either congregate, 
connect, intersect, touch,

220
00:13:09,427 --> 00:13:12,873
unite at sunset for eclipses...

221
00:13:12,873 --> 00:13:15,791
play and then separate 
for long interstices.

222
00:13:16,311 --> 00:13:20,814
Later, re-enacting past meetings 
forever lost in repetition.

223
00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:28,991
Ebb and flow, edging closer.

224
00:13:29,792 --> 00:13:31,411
Expanding warmth.

225
00:13:32,121 --> 00:13:34,988
That point just before the pressure bursts.

226
00:13:35,928 --> 00:13:37,645
Capillary rush.

227
00:13:38,475 --> 00:13:41,424
Tension. Resisting.

228
00:13:42,354 --> 00:13:48,703
Each muscle, each limb, 
each breath under control for now.

229
00:13:49,623 --> 00:13:52,661
Questions of limitations 
dissolve into the blur.

230
00:13:53,231 --> 00:13:55,812
Eyes open, but horizons fall away.

231
00:13:56,392 --> 00:13:58,261
The burn increases now.

232
00:13:58,601 --> 00:13:59,651
(Shia grunts)

233
00:13:59,651 --> 00:14:01,266
The pain sensors...

234
00:14:02,316 --> 00:14:04,850
one of you escapes, but I pull you back.

235
00:14:05,570 --> 00:14:07,535
Heh. Duality.

236
00:14:08,305 --> 00:14:10,901
Existing only as a whole.

237
00:14:11,501 --> 00:14:13,877
Weakened by quivering joints.

238
00:14:13,877 --> 00:14:18,215
Lungs push for release,
a struggle to hold on.

239
00:14:19,195 --> 00:14:24,302
Control surrendered, suspended in dullness.

240
00:14:25,192 --> 00:14:26,865
Eyes close.

241
00:14:28,695 --> 00:14:29,892
Now numb.

242
00:14:33,962 --> 00:14:39,316
Running, reaching, falling, 
skipping, turning, sliding, walking.

243
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:42,690
These are all words 
that describe ways of moving.

244
00:14:42,690 --> 00:14:45,939
Each action is packed 
with many micro-movements.

245
00:14:45,939 --> 00:14:49,362
It's hard for us to recognize 
these small movements individually.

246
00:14:49,362 --> 00:14:52,294
When describing how to walk, 
we use the simplest terms possible

247
00:14:52,294 --> 00:14:55,635
and struggle to explain all 
the mechanics of a simple movement.

248
00:14:55,635 --> 00:14:58,320
Understanding body movement 
in the terms of everyday language

249
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,384
should be simple, however 
our muscle memory takes over

250
00:15:01,384 --> 00:15:03,493
for our brain and our body 
becomes a strange system

251
00:15:03,493 --> 00:15:07,186
of levers and pulleys 
that maneuver by our command.

252
00:15:12,106 --> 00:15:13,446
She sits.

253
00:15:15,054 --> 00:15:16,720
I squirt toothpaste in my mouth.

254
00:15:16,796 --> 00:15:18,051
I start to brush.

255
00:15:18,741 --> 00:15:20,338
She's looking at me.
I look at her.

256
00:15:20,338 --> 00:15:23,111
I keep brushing whilst looking.

257
00:15:23,111 --> 00:15:24,588
Whilst I look at her,
she looks at me

258
00:15:24,588 --> 00:15:27,732
and I continue to brush, 
getting faster, getting harder.

259
00:15:29,632 --> 00:15:31,262
I start to gag.

260
00:15:31,962 --> 00:15:34,833
My eyes leak and I still look at her.

261
00:15:34,833 --> 00:15:37,804
She looks at me and I keep brushing, gagging.

262
00:15:38,554 --> 00:15:40,309
I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

263
00:15:41,009 --> 00:15:42,235
Am I gonna be sick?

264
00:15:43,445 --> 00:15:48,573
Gagging! Paste down my face, 
my hair, on my shirt.

265
00:15:49,113 --> 00:15:53,587
Dripping, and I still look at her
and she looks at me.

266
00:15:54,795 --> 00:15:55,830
Enough.

267
00:16:03,605 --> 00:16:08,952
The sculpture, the painter,
the video maker,

268
00:16:08,952 --> 00:16:11,985
the figure of the artist has been 
as fetishized in Western culture

269
00:16:11,985 --> 00:16:15,818
as the Hollywood actor,
the town drunk or the Messiah himself.

270
00:16:16,498 --> 00:16:19,008
Michael Peter's TateShots
attempts to reconfigure

271
00:16:19,008 --> 00:16:23,125
the concept of creator or creatrix
by placing himself in the position

272
00:16:23,125 --> 00:16:25,274
of artist as meme.

273
00:16:25,274 --> 00:16:28,868
Watch, enjoy, and be one.

274
00:16:30,401 --> 00:16:32,056
We are all children of the universe.

275
00:16:51,259 --> 00:16:52,495
Yeah, absolutely.

276
00:16:54,176 --> 00:16:56,796
I feel my absence 
in the absence of all things.

277
00:17:00,901 --> 00:17:05,564
Belief in living has been 
contorted into this shortened life

278
00:17:05,564 --> 00:17:08,166
of contempt and pre-determined imprisonment.

279
00:17:08,766 --> 00:17:09,764
And I...

280
00:17:11,494 --> 00:17:12,763
(sighs)

281
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:15,805
I feel it all collapsing.

282
00:17:17,876 --> 00:17:20,628
I CAN'T FUCKING EMBRACE IT!

283
00:17:24,779 --> 00:17:25,881
(sighs)

284
00:17:29,485 --> 00:17:30,518
(sighs)

285
00:17:40,045 --> 00:17:44,161
It's near and here I stand...

286
00:17:48,101 --> 00:17:51,863
wasting my last moments, 
cursing thee who impress me this

287
00:17:51,863 --> 00:17:52,863
your fate.

288
00:17:55,917 --> 00:17:57,429
You give nothing.

289
00:17:57,643 --> 00:18:00,279
No mercy, no empathy.

290
00:18:01,489 --> 00:18:03,098
Only self-hate.

291
00:18:03,098 --> 00:18:05,317
To you, I'm just a fucking plaything.

292
00:18:05,317 --> 00:18:07,641
An amusement replicating the cries of man.

293
00:18:07,641 --> 00:18:11,294
You replay the last moments 
of my life over and over and over!

294
00:18:11,294 --> 00:18:15,904
I'm just a fucking charade 
suspended at the core of ridicule

295
00:18:15,904 --> 00:18:19,539
and I pity for those whose end mirrors mine

296
00:18:19,539 --> 00:18:21,221
and I pity myself.

297
00:18:23,481 --> 00:18:24,976
(sniffles)

298
00:18:26,269 --> 00:18:27,668
I'm helpless.

299
00:18:28,925 --> 00:18:30,039
Thank you.

300
00:18:37,213 --> 00:18:41,633
I'm tormented by the inescapable

301
00:18:41,633 --> 00:18:44,636
rewinding collapse.

302
00:18:48,401 --> 00:18:50,258
Don't let them see me like this.

303
00:18:52,873 --> 00:18:54,605
Man is under surveillance.

304
00:18:55,555 --> 00:18:56,601
Where is he going?

305
00:18:57,668 --> 00:19:00,793
Almost into a state of euphoria, of relief,

306
00:19:00,793 --> 00:19:03,489
as though he's happy about it.

307
00:19:03,489 --> 00:19:05,711
He has to act as a looking glass
rather than a mirror

308
00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:07,975
of social conventions.

309
00:19:07,975 --> 00:19:12,101
He disintegrated perfectly,
but never reappeared.

310
00:19:12,871 --> 00:19:15,495
He became translucent to reveal his reality.

311
00:19:16,265 --> 00:19:20,018
It's impossible unless he is, 
or was, insane.

312
00:19:22,118 --> 00:19:25,340
He changed his mind.
You know how men are.

313
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,282
Perhaps it symbolizes something deep 
in the subconscious.

314
00:19:30,051 --> 00:19:37,567
(silence)

315
00:19:43,186 --> 00:19:45,049
Feeling genuinely upset.

316
00:19:49,384 --> 00:19:51,853
Tears level. Hmm.

317
00:19:56,815 --> 00:19:58,041
Shame on me.

318
00:20:00,262 --> 00:20:02,827
My face is receptacle on surface,

319
00:20:03,747 --> 00:20:06,195
a surface that's throwing up 
what's already there.

320
00:20:07,286 --> 00:20:09,268
Wet wear and hard [inaudible] stuff.

321
00:20:11,458 --> 00:20:14,486
Confrontation is post. Preferably.

322
00:20:15,316 --> 00:20:18,165
Living in lilts like over and under.

323
00:20:18,165 --> 00:20:20,998
With grapple here 
is approaching confrontation.

324
00:20:20,998 --> 00:20:23,212
Or surface lump rolled out.

325
00:20:25,542 --> 00:20:29,623
You go through the dump 
to form a projectile semi-bound

326
00:20:29,623 --> 00:20:31,727
like protest song collapsed.

327
00:20:32,677 --> 00:20:34,979
Needs filled for no other.

328
00:20:35,928 --> 00:20:38,775
Forced partly forever as long 
as I leave you together.

329
00:20:41,435 --> 00:20:42,687
Art hits.

330
00:20:44,787 --> 00:20:46,383
Whatever I point at is big.

331
00:20:51,885 --> 00:21:33,281
Snapped leg. Snapped leg.

332
00:21:36,296 --> 00:21:37,746
Chalk circle.

333
00:21:38,296 --> 00:21:41,792
Another one of those days where you think,
"Shit, I've done nothing today."

334
00:21:41,792 --> 00:21:43,276
This London Underground journey

335
00:21:43,276 --> 00:21:45,711
needs no excessive 
mental activity to perform.

336
00:21:45,711 --> 00:21:48,625
I'm stuck in a strange 
modern day meditation.

337
00:21:48,625 --> 00:21:50,603
This space asks for an interruption.

338
00:21:50,603 --> 00:21:53,533
When it happens, it's a moment 
of pure panic and confusion.

339
00:21:53,533 --> 00:21:56,088
All previous expectations are obliterated.

340
00:21:56,088 --> 00:21:57,952
There's a second of elation.

341
00:21:57,952 --> 00:21:59,672
The rules are being broken here.

342
00:22:01,042 --> 00:22:02,432
Quickly, it passes.

343
00:22:04,352 --> 00:22:06,481
I'm back in the routine.

344
00:22:06,481 --> 00:22:08,794
There's an expansion 
of discovery and limitation,

345
00:22:08,794 --> 00:22:11,808
even if I'm thinking, 
"Fuck. This is boring"

346
00:22:11,808 --> 00:22:14,138
as I scribble repetitively onto the floor.

347
00:22:18,458 --> 00:22:22,281
Between the visible and invisible lies 
a glistening rectangular pane,

348
00:22:22,893 --> 00:22:24,668
a transparent veil.

349
00:22:25,224 --> 00:22:28,241
This thin glossy sheet of glass, 
so innocent looking,

350
00:22:28,241 --> 00:22:31,101
is the frontier between 
the physicality of toil

351
00:22:31,101 --> 00:22:33,941
and the ignorance of immateriality.

352
00:22:33,941 --> 00:22:38,783
Liquid crystals oscillating between 
a seamless fluid and solid state

353
00:22:38,783 --> 00:22:41,375
produce a viscous reality 
that's almost palpable,

354
00:22:41,375 --> 00:22:45,769
almost attainable but succeeds 
only in abstracting.

355
00:22:45,769 --> 00:22:48,752
The heightened artifice 
perpetuates anonymity,

356
00:22:48,752 --> 00:22:51,205
outsourced and far away.

357
00:22:51,205 --> 00:22:55,776
Dead labor turns to capital
and power relations dissolve.

358
00:22:55,776 --> 00:22:58,155
All that is solid melts into the air.

359
00:23:03,325 --> 00:23:06,488
These light installations do
not provide an original experience.

360
00:23:07,231 --> 00:23:09,278
Instead, the audience 
will witness occurrences

361
00:23:09,278 --> 00:23:12,155
they have previously encountered 
in their everyday lives

362
00:23:12,155 --> 00:23:15,486
on bedroom walls, floors, 
and through bus windows

363
00:23:15,486 --> 00:23:17,051
but may have never noticed.

364
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,609
Observing, recording, 
and recreating studies of light,

365
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:23,699
this series of events are light occurrences 
that have captured

366
00:23:23,699 --> 00:23:26,443
and digitally recreated using projectors

367
00:23:26,443 --> 00:23:29,386
as the technology to stage
them in this space.

368
00:23:29,386 --> 00:23:32,249
Do you either go noticed or unnoticed?

369
00:23:37,229 --> 00:23:41,099
What you're about to witness 
is quite definitely harrowing.

370
00:23:41,915 --> 00:23:45,594
British artist Jack Evans, 
when he was raised in Mansfield,

371
00:23:45,594 --> 00:23:47,658
part of the Midlands, is now at

372
00:23:47,658 --> 00:23:51,780
one of the most southern parts 
of the UK, Brighton Beach

373
00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:55,801
in the hellish winter cold 
laid out in nothing but Raybans,

374
00:23:55,801 --> 00:24:00,670
his favorite pair of speedos 
and a fucking tacky shit gold watch,

375
00:24:00,670 --> 00:24:04,431
eating what I believe 
those Brits call a 99 Flake.

376
00:24:04,431 --> 00:24:07,707
His body looks glorious 
as it shivers in the wind.

377
00:24:07,707 --> 00:24:11,754
I do have to remind you, 
especially the ladies,

378
00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:13,755
it was fucking cold.

379
00:24:14,665 --> 00:24:15,760
Enjoy.

380
00:24:19,605 --> 00:24:22,773
Hold your breath.
Count to two.

381
00:24:23,625 --> 00:24:26,316
Come with us in a world of pure imagination.

382
00:24:27,156 --> 00:24:30,163
Take a look and you'll see 
into our imagination.

383
00:24:30,923 --> 00:24:34,218
We'll begin travelling 
in the world of our creation.

384
00:24:34,877 --> 00:24:37,830
What you'll see will have no explanation.

385
00:24:38,597 --> 00:24:39,925
Look around.

386
00:24:40,283 --> 00:24:43,585
There's no life to compare 
with living with no pixelation.

387
00:24:56,841 --> 00:25:01,148
Joe Moss was Shia LaBeouf 
before Shia LaBeouf was Joe Moss.

388
00:25:05,842 --> 00:25:08,028
We only got 30 seconds, 
so I mean, I'll try his voice

389
00:25:08,028 --> 00:25:11,078
but... I don't know.

390
00:25:11,081 --> 00:25:13,730
Who makes that choice?
Who's pretending to be who?

391
00:25:14,740 --> 00:25:17,119
We're pretending to talk 
to a you that doesn't exist yet,

392
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,654
but what's really going on here?

393
00:25:18,654 --> 00:25:22,033
I... fuck, I don't think 
any of us understand.

394
00:25:22,033 --> 00:25:23,311
Maybe you do.

395
00:25:24,713 --> 00:25:26,435
There's always reflections 
of you in the screen,

396
00:25:26,435 --> 00:25:28,214
but I can't speak.
I'm dumb.

397
00:25:28,214 --> 00:25:30,966
I'm the dumbest, but Shia talks.

398
00:25:30,966 --> 00:25:33,113
Fuck, 30 seconds.
All right.

399
00:25:33,113 --> 00:25:34,385
Pressure, whatever.

400
00:25:34,385 --> 00:25:35,938
Hey, mom, it's really Joe.

401
00:25:35,938 --> 00:25:38,076
I bet you never thought
this would fucking happen, huh?

402
00:25:38,076 --> 00:25:39,307
(chuckles)

403
00:25:43,317 --> 00:25:45,657
Work number 24 oscillates somewhere between

404
00:25:45,657 --> 00:25:48,377
a durational performance in live sculpture.

405
00:25:48,377 --> 00:25:51,556
The work seeks to act both 
as a social and institutional critique

406
00:25:51,556 --> 00:25:55,052
of "What is an art school?"
presented then in the form

407
00:25:55,052 --> 00:25:57,281
of a bookshop, as opposed to a library,

408
00:25:57,281 --> 00:25:59,371
arguably a democratic equivalent.

409
00:25:59,371 --> 00:26:02,004
The work seeks to explore 
the currency of ideas,

410
00:26:02,004 --> 00:26:04,738
how trade and exchange 
is not only commoditized,

411
00:26:04,738 --> 00:26:07,668
but perhaps how conversation 
is perhaps a vital component

412
00:26:07,668 --> 00:26:10,626
in the flow and disruption 
of how culture manifests.

413
00:26:14,816 --> 00:26:17,890
A practice revolves around 
questions of fact and fiction

414
00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:19,840
and the blurred line that lies between.

415
00:26:20,420 --> 00:26:22,297
I'm interested in how surveillance images

416
00:26:22,297 --> 00:26:24,773
can be manipulated 
and orchestrated in order to create

417
00:26:24,773 --> 00:26:28,179
a particular narrative, 
creating an unreliable narrator.

418
00:26:28,919 --> 00:26:31,018
There are three parts to the work:

419
00:26:31,018 --> 00:26:33,721
Footage of a factual space,
whereby a sequence of events

420
00:26:33,721 --> 00:26:37,191
has occured, the digital 
drawing of the space,

421
00:26:37,191 --> 00:26:40,925
and a stripped-back stage 
to its crude simplest skeletal form,

422
00:26:40,925 --> 00:26:43,491
where the sequence 
of events is re-enacted.

423
00:26:43,491 --> 00:26:46,945
The stage is a factual representation 
of a real life space

424
00:26:46,945 --> 00:26:49,847
whereby every property 
is identical in dimensions.

425
00:26:53,787 --> 00:26:56,506
57,910,000.

426
00:26:56,878 --> 00:26:59,581
108,200,000.

427
00:26:59,811 --> 00:27:02,640
149,600,000.

428
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:06,471
227,940,000.

429
00:27:06,471 --> 00:27:10,201
778,330,000.

430
00:27:10,201 --> 00:27:13,856
1,429,400,000.

431
00:27:14,110 --> 00:27:18,007
2,970,990,000.

432
00:27:18,136 --> 00:27:19,639
4,000,000,500.

433
00:27:19,639 --> 00:27:21,496
4 million, 5 billion...

434
00:27:21,496 --> 00:27:24,546
913,520,000.

435
00:27:29,376 --> 00:27:31,935
I can't stop looking at my phone and computer.

436
00:27:32,756 --> 00:27:37,013
Separate connected entity making 
me lose time/space awareness.

437
00:27:37,013 --> 00:27:38,310
Where's my phone?

438
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:40,845
I need to make this sunset digital.

439
00:27:40,845 --> 00:27:42,782
A stone preserved in binary code

440
00:27:42,782 --> 00:27:44,503
until the server breaks 
and the national grid

441
00:27:44,503 --> 00:27:46,095
runs out of gas.

442
00:27:46,095 --> 00:27:47,735
I can't find my money.

443
00:27:47,735 --> 00:27:50,179
Dad left the physical sphere long ago.

444
00:27:50,179 --> 00:27:53,712
All I see remind me of things online
or in a video game.

445
00:27:53,712 --> 00:27:55,955
They are so real in the moment.

446
00:27:55,955 --> 00:27:58,740
I climbed that mountain 
with my mind and fingers.

447
00:27:58,740 --> 00:28:01,498
My body didn't even get close.

448
00:28:01,498 --> 00:28:04,688
All my experiences turn 
into light and pixels.

449
00:28:08,958 --> 00:28:11,927
Errrrrrmmmm.

450
00:28:12,258 --> 00:28:15,157
Ummmmmmmmm.

451
00:28:15,485 --> 00:28:18,906
Oohhhhhhhmmmm.

452
00:28:20,136 --> 00:28:23,755
Ooohmmmmmmm.

453
00:28:25,035 --> 00:28:29,060
Errrrrmmmmmmmm.

454
00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:32,410
Ummmmmmmmmm.

455
00:28:32,750 --> 00:28:35,299
Ooohhmmmmmm.

456
00:28:36,617 --> 00:28:39,866
Ohhmmmmmmm.

457
00:28:40,846 --> 00:28:45,919
Errrrmmmmmmmm.

458
00:28:46,259 --> 00:28:49,945
Ummmmmmmmmm.

459
00:28:50,275 --> 00:28:53,425
Ohhmmmmmmmm.

460
00:28:55,635 --> 00:28:59,275
Ohhmmmmmmm.

461
00:29:00,225 --> 00:29:03,688
Errmmmmmmmm.

462
00:29:03,911 --> 00:29:07,088
Ummmmmmmmmm.

463
00:29:07,741 --> 00:29:10,722
Ohhmmmmmmm.

464
00:29:11,585 --> 00:29:15,259
Ohhmmmmmmmmm.

465
00:29:15,991 --> 00:29:20,375
Errmmmmmmmmm.

466
00:29:20,850 --> 00:29:23,378
Ummmmmmmm.
