One thing I love is great video and I love Bjork’s Wanderlust. The production is amazing. The concept is so unique; fantasy that is awespiring. (That’s right, inspiration combined with awesome. Remember I am a linguistic evolutionist but that is for a different rant). Bjork’s music is always such a journey and I enjoy it more with video.

Matthew Barney

On a trip to Manhattan I was privileged to see Matthew Barney’s “The Cremaster Cycle” at The Guggenheim with agualadie and bwashbu. Although Matthew Barney’s style and subjects are often “uncomfortable” they are undoubtedly some of the most thought provoking, original , creative and important works of our times. Matthew Barney is Bjork’s partner. I can really see Barney’s influence in the style of Wanderlust and I like it. It would be a lot of fun to see those two work more closely on projects.

The Wanderlust Video

There is a more digestible version of this video on youTube but it is low quality. There is also a 3d version that requires 3d glasses. I have not seen that version and will not testify to its strength. Below is a link to a very high quality version of the video. I suggest you watch this version. It takes a long time to load. Pause it, let it load, turn up your speaker, dim your lights… Hit Play! It is great!

This is just a short post from me this week. I love the video techniques used in this video. Plus it is a fun and great song. I hope you like it too. If you do enjoy it, you can support this artist by buying the video for $1.99 at iTunes.

Artsy by The Grouch

Lately I have really been digging street art. I love it for many reasons: Because the artists are obviously not concerned with art for financial gain, I identify with the subjects of most pieces, and I respect the statement street art makes when compared to advertising. We all accept advertising everywhere–outdoor billboards and signs, online ads, TV–you guys know it all. It’s literally in our faces. Yet many are offended by street art and graffiti. It seems to me the only difference between a billboard and an awesome piece of street art is the fact that a corporation made money off of the advertisement. And usually the graffiti is much more credible from an artistic standpoint. Have a look:
