"The difficulty for a critic brave enough to tackle work like this is she'd need to be able to discuss Cubism or its throwaway varieties such as Picabia's série transparences, a little something about how GIFs are made and what they mean, and how it all ties together. This is damn hard, which is why we get endless rubbish about circulation, dispersion, post media aesthetics, and other concepts that assume art has some grand socially responsible purpose." [/rant]

Mermaid Intern

Recommended: "Mermaid Intern," a video short by Julio Torres and Lena Einbinder [YouTube]
This deadpan comedy, floating between conventional SNL-type skit and performance art, explores the plight of the creative soul in the modern office environment. Einbinder's earnest fin-footed Seapunk finds herself "trapped in a world she never made," as Steve Gerber once wrote about Howard the Duck.

"Two Rhythms"

"Two Rhythms" [mp3 removed -- tune is now on Bandcamp]

This started out as two different beats, each in its own section, made using a delay that Native Instruments no longer offers (Spektral Delay), ported in from an older PC in real time as an external hardware effect (note: about 150 ms of latency).
Then I cut it into loops, moved it to the Octatrack, and added older (Reaktor Titan) synth riffs sliced into new patterns. Went a little overboard with the "loop" function where a single note repeats in a stutter but have never done anything quite like this, ultimately.
