TOUCH MY BODY (green screen version)

 

author: OLIVER LARIC – duration: 04:15

A while ago we revlogged ANIMAGIFAQTSI by Wreck & Salvage and someone was reminded by THIS WORK of Oliver Laric. Only a few days ago I a realized we must have met in Eindhoven at MU. Oliver Laric (1981, born in Innsbruck, Austria, lives in Berlin) is a wicked artist, working mainly with video and taking maximum advantage of the wonder called the Internet. He’s co-founder of the art blog VVORK and the collective NEEN, standing for: "Neenstars: a still undefined generation of visual artists. Some of them belong to the contemporary art world; others are software creators, web designers, and video game directors or animators."

Touch My Body is a conceptual miracle. Take Mariah Carey’s video, cut out every sound and image except for Maria and fill the rest with fluorescent green. Then publish it on YouTube and wait for the people to fill in the void. Insubordinate art for the masses, republished on his own site HERE. We curate a second chef-d’oeuvre by Laric: AIRCONDITION. You’ll love it.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

author: ROBERT CROMA – duration: 02:15

Here are some of the comments on this powerful video by Croma (as found on his site):

David writes: “That was really hard to watch. It stirred up way too many emotions for my comfort level. Extremely well done”
Cheryl: “Ow. Ow. Oh. Audio: vibrated my kidneys somehow. Confused the heck out of me. Video: broke my heart”
Philip Campbel: “So powerful. so moving. so razorlike pain, so unforgiving.”
Indielab: “Compelling. Thought-provoking. Maddening. Etc, etc, etc…”
Sull: “Disruptive piece. Fascinating murderous wonder”

We completely endorse these statements. We bow deeply to Robert Croma.

CHOCOLADE HAAS – CHOCOLATE BUNNY

authors: LERNERT ENGELBERTS and SANDER PLUG – duration: 02:55

Oy Gevalt, the horror. And quite brilliant actually, come to think of it. Made by Sander Plug & Lernert Engelberts, the latter being a poet and filmmaker and a very dear & beloved former colleague @ Dutch public broadcaster VPRO. I do believe Lernert is a conceptual genius. Most of his work is in Dutch (see links below) but you’ll find a showreel with English subs by CLICKING HERE.

Chocolate Bunny was commissioned by CUT ‘N PASTE and sardonically this little masterpiece was transmitted by catholic broadcaster KRO and more specific, as part of their children’s program KRO’S KINDERTIJD.

Engelbert’s television work is somewhat scattered around the net. Some links: WASKRACHT, HET GELUK VAN NEDERLAND & WROETEN
