Cannes Diary 3

This is the Cannes Diary, Day 3 Samedi, 20 Mai 2007 By 10AM it’s clear that there are no passes offered that are any good to me. They give out some for the Classics and the Cinefondation screenings – there is at least one evening premiere, but since I’m in a no-tux situation, I decide against […]

Cannes Diary 2

This is the Cannes diary, 2007, Day 2 Vendredi, 18 Mai 07 Les Cinephiles, I have come to realize, are Les Bottom-Feeders. On the way in today I was accosted by a dozen or so Cinephiles looking to score an “invit’ “ to today’s film at the Palais. Remember that Cinephiles can go to the […]

The first draft of the article turned out to be over 22,000 words and included quite a bit of extraneous but interesting detail. More than one notebook was filled with […]

super*MARKET

But Leon can not only create confusing electronic devices. He can also, by means of great effort and muscle control, […]

Aluminum or Glass?

OK, this time for real! I had originally wanted to keep “A or G” for just the DVD, but the promotions guy for the disc thought it was better on YouTube as part of the whole publicity campaign. Tell others, and then place an order for the DVD. Show those people at OCD that our […]

Now you’re famous… on the Internet.

That’s what my nephew Benjamin says to cut me down. Even a small boy knows that “virtual” means “not really,” and that if something is real on the computer, it might be fake otherwise. Despite his clear-headed pragmatism, I’m still quite thrilled to have been listed in Wikipedia.

Printing Now

The new Negativland DVD “Our Favorite Things” is at the printer’s. This package, which contains a DVD with many animated bits featured at this site (including the super-secret “Aluminum or Glass” – the subject of many posts back in April) also contains a CD featuring the smooth stylings of the “180-G’s,” an R&B cover band […]
