The Smithsonian has released a wimpy statement that indicates that they “Stand Firmly Behind “Hide/Seek” Exhibition”. Which is total bullshit. If they’re was anything firm about their stance, David Wojnarowicz’ video would still be on display. If we are going to have to fight another culture war to defend the rights of free expression [...] For your reference, David Wojnarowicz’ piece, Fire in My Belly (via Carol Cheh of Another Righteous Transfer), in its YouTube incarnation. The audio is from Diamanda Galas‘ Plague Mass, which in my opinion is one of the most important and moving pieces of music composed in the last 50 years or so. If [...] So there were elections, and now radical, right wing powers are sharpening their agendas, with incoming House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Representative Eric Cantor (R-Va.) leading the way.

It will loop and repeat itself for the entire 10:43 of the video, so I strongly suggest turning off your speakers before you hit play. [...] Hatsune Miku is a software-based, Japanese singing voice that manifests in many forms, including live concerts. She has a specific appearance, long blue hair, loli-esque body and a Sailor Moon-y outfit, and can be seen and consumed in just about every media imaginable. I guess this is the Aidoru phenomenon in yet another fruitful [...] Here’s an all-to-brief YouTube toast to the man who brought us OMNI Magazine, Caligula and letters that began with “I never thought it would happen to me…” Yes, I had a subscription to OMNI, and believed everything I read because I was like 10 years old at the time. The hypersuggestabilty of prepubescence [...] I’m by no means the only person to have fallen headfirst down Kusama’s infinitely reflected, obliterated work. Flickr user Sanhelsington has captured the distillation of the intoxicating power of Yayoi Kusama. via [...] Loud Music + (Flamethrower x Slomo ) + (Fire Extinguisher x Slomo) = Awesome x 2 via James Rojsirivat |
