ructed consciousness art critique exposure destruction innovation saturday april 04 2009 t c boyle t coraghessan boyle has been one of my favorite authors for a few years now i first read his t c boyle stories a giant collection of ironic black humored short fiction and then his novel the tortilla curtain which i just discovered will come out in movie form in 2010 starring kevin costner and meg ryan boyle is brilliant at exposing human awkwardness and self consciousness the absurd clash of our manifested instincts and our rigid civilization i m revisiting the stories right now and can t help myself from sharing this hysterical passage from the ape lady in retirement an academic observes her audience while waiting backstage before giving a lecture and then while giving it she watched the crowd gather blank faced housewives and their paunchy husbands bearded professors breast thumping students the stringy fur swathed women of the anthropology club watched them command their space choose their seats pick at themselves and wriggle in their clothing she was absorbed in the dynamics of the crowd listening to their chatter observing their neck craning and leg crossing watching their furtive plumbing of nostrils and sniffing of armpits and obsessive fussing with hair and jewelry she watched them fidgeting certainly but patient and intelligent all their primal needs their sexual urges the necessity of relieving themselves and eating to exhaustion sublimated beneath the spell of her words posted by mr bacon at 1 36 pm 1 comment labels t c boyle tuesday march 24 2009 unnecessary apology posted by mr bacon at 10 55 am no comments monday november 24 2008 copulatin blues yesterday i read this nytimes article about an evangelical pastor in texas who conducted an exciting sexperiment a seven days of sex challenge in his church of 20 000 urging married couples to get jiggy as much as possible for a week in order to strengthen their bonds finally a christian message that makes sense if nervous couples needed a little extra help during their week long sex quest perhaps they threw the copulatin blues on the stereo here s the track list i need a little sugar

2008 bruno strikes again with three commissions too much grad school and tons of politics to keep up with this blog took a hit but i ll try to heat it back up starting now bruno in milan sacha baron cohen is one of the best performance artists of our time lately as the gay austrian bruno he s been dabbling in art intervention just 10 days ago cohen managed to act as an extra in a court scene for nbc s medium sitting in the jury and disrupting the shoot earlier this fall he crashed two fashion shows one in paris and the prada show in milan for which he actually walked the catwalk wearing a cross between an elementary school diorama and the derelict line from zoolander other recent bruno escapades include a pro proposition 8 rally in la and two cage fighting matches in arkansas cohen apparently lured people to the fights with promises of chicks and cheap beer and then proceeded to strip down and kiss another man in the ring the audience was a bit put off and many threw chairs and beer at the young lovers hopefully much of this great work will appear in his upcoming film starring bruno out this may what should we make of him is he just a comedian a brilliant neo dadaist like pierre pinoncelli or somewhere in between i m inclined to think his mockery of the fashion and television industries and of homophobia in the past few months alone is more than just laughs posted by mr bacon at 9 54 pm no comments labels art intervention bruno pinoncelli sacha baron cohen sunday september 07 2008 originality not what you think starry night by robert silvers technically speaking according to current copyright law the above work is completely unoriginal it s a replication of a famous van gogh painting and it s made up of nasa images there s nothing original about it this is highway robbery let s sue robert silvers cunningly silvers copyrighted his artistic photomosaic method and can i m sure wiggle his way out of copyright battles at this point but many musicians who aren t millionaires ceo s and legal wizards and who do essentially the same thing with audio have a lot to worry about but isn t silvers work an originality mindfuck i applaud him for that ben franklin said that originality is the art of concealing your sources girltalk robert silvers and others may have altered this philosophy i wrote a pretty long comment on a newmusicbox post about sampling girltalk and intellectual property law so i thought i d just post it here i m a little disappointed that no one else responded the original post by carl stone brings up the familiar debate over originality and what defines this concept today versus what it used to mean you can read my thoughts on the topic below i m glad to read many similar thoughts to my own in an interesting nmb post since taking a class on fair use in the music world and really before that i came to realize how the legal system especially in america is always so horribly behind mainstream culture gay marriage is still illegal in most states the death penalty is still legal in many states the list goes on at least in terms of copyright this is probably largely the result of case law which only gets built slowly over time and maybe less the fault of insane fundamentalist supreme court judges who would be better off behind bars than in a post appointed by the president maybe girltalk is the first one to break through to the next generation of musicians who can sample electronically in just the same manner as you write as brahms and bach and everyone else did acoustically i see absolutely no difference in what girltalk does and what any baroque or classical composer did and what many of these composers instituational incarnates continue to do now acoustically but the world s collective consciousness still won t equate the two we still haven t accepted the digital as the real and it s not but it s a perfect simulacrum of the real meaning it resembles the real so accurately as to take its place and therefore as far as we can tell it is the real that could be why the courts can t change the laws just yet it is so seemingly real whereas a reorchestration is somehow so different but really not i agree that girltalk is recontextualizing the hits he mashes up to the point of fair use or de minimis or however you want to classify it but i m pretty sure if he was taken to court it d be copyright infringement for sure the point at which the legal system s assault on this particular component of our creativity will stop is when it and the record labels realize that allowing this type of creativity is more profitable than the court settlements that prohibit it maybe that s finally happening right now i wouldn t be surprised if girltalk is getting courted by a couple big labels or will be soon this quote from the nytimes opinion piece sounds quite familiar all aspects of creativity are basically reconstituted bits and pieces of things we ve seen heard and experienced finely or not so finely chopped and served in a form that hopefully blends the ingredients into something new the ancient greeks seemed to know this expressed in their belief that the muses of creativity were the daughters of mnemosyne titan goddess of memory it resembles fredric jameson s extensive writing on originality and death of the subject from the 1980s he apparently agreed with the greeks but now over 20 years after he wrote about these topics i wonder what he thinks though i hear he still buys the same music that adorno was praising in the early to mid 20th century still every piece i ve read by jameson has amazed me with its foresight and analogies but the realization that girltalk really is original that the digital age has spawned an original form of originality in itself is something that the courts haven t grasped yet and jameson couldn t in the 1980s what the current discussions of originality today are missing is that a originality has changed we can t discuss it today with the old definition and b it s pointless to discuss originality at all today because it either doesn t exist if you buy into jameson or it has changed so much in the last few decades that we need a new word for it furthermore maybe jameson is right subjects are dead how can anyone today begin to claim that she s 100 original with no outside influence i personally stick to the word innovation and wholeheartedly believe in the obsolescence of the greedy money driven copyright industry and that s why i spent most of the day remixing the final movement of mozart s 40th posted by mr bacon at 4 47 pm no comments labels fredric jameson girltalk robert silvers tuesday august 26 2008 twin cities my favorite line from hillary s speech tonight it s no surprise that mccain and bush will be appearing together in the twin cities next week it s pretty hard to tell them apart these days and from the nytimes article about biden s speech mr biden who referred to his childhood struggle with stuttering made a few verbal slips including referring to mr mccain as george freudian slip folks he said freudian slip posted by mr bacon at 11 08 pm no comments labels biden bush hillary mccain sunday august 24 2008 this week s bookmarks a few world wide web links for the three to five readers per day who haven t arrived here via a google image search i ve never searched the world wide web for world wide web before why isn t sir tim berners lee the most famous guy on the planet art by christoph niemann sweet bathroom art a very different way to spruce up the water closet than what the pictures in my previous post illustrate if i had money he d be way up on my commission list composer charles wuorinen with his cat who the fuck are these people in the home stretch of an election that i fear might confirm my utter lack of faith in the people of this country finding this pathetic website has not helped my optimism apparently charles wuoronin s opera based on the brokeback mountain story or gay 12 tone cowboys as ross puts it will be radical and dangerous in its celebration of the homosexual lifestyle i m surprised these ultra conservative hominids are able to maintain a website considering their desperate attempts to exist in a different century than the rest of us american sprinter tyson homosexual this is the same news censoring site that reports on tyson homosexual s track and field successes and rudy homosexual s basketball career conservatives apparently still like to view being gay as a psychological disorder rather than a common sexual orientation and thus prefer the term homosexual the most clinical and scientific word and a term that many gays and lesbians consider highly insulting for this reason to the word gay so they use a software program that automatically converts every instance of gay to homosexual so its readers won t be quite so threatened by this horrible and potentially contagious disorder some results are the ridiculous articles about tyson and rudy homosexual i agree with michael scherer that nonfiction writer homosexual talese should chime in on the issue a couple questions for the homophobic writers how would they censor their own scientific classification as homo erectus and shouldn t they censor the name of the brokeback article s author charlie butts sounds pretty vulgar to me maybe charlie rears or charlie backsides i m constantly baffled at how people who claim to live by a strong moral code can hold such horribly derogatory completely immoral vastly inhumane highly bigoted overtly frightened and simply uneducated views it s a shame and it s depressing and i m embarrassed to share a nation with them the fact that our country still insists on denying a giant proportion of its citizens the right to get married is preposterous so is the fact that states can legally murder their inmates how is it wrong to abort a 2 week old fetus but ok to kill a full grown person or torture a suspect these are issues that the true leftist obama that i hope hides behind his campaign facade will tackle head on if he does win this election posted by mr bacon at 10 46 am no comments labels bathroom tyson gay
