Film from the Apothecary Shed

Well maybe not film. Bits. What do you call it these days anyway?! Video?

ThatMcGraw of the production company Indescribably Inconvenient has amassed a collection of films put together for various reasons. We love them, and you will too.

Yearbook Timelapse (check out the amusing scene 50 seconds in)

Again the Room, a Philosophical Exploration
(3:07 is just phenomenal or epiphenomenal or something)

Emotion and Perception, our personal favorite here in the apothecary shed

The Stalin Project

And, in case you wonder how to get here, some directions.

On the Occasion of Eighteen

A toast for Jack at eighteen

May you and your generation…
Cool the tempers and the tempests of the planet,
Bend the bits to your collective will,
Not only stand on the shoulders of giants, but reach into the stars,
Understand and empathize with the human condition,
Create art that challenges, soothes, and startles.

We are proud to know you, proud to grow you, and proud to provide your
launching pad. Remember us as you accelerate.

Chernobyl, Verizon red alerts, and well-armed liberals

Leave a comment

Marcus goes to Chernobyl. Read about it here http://www.ranum.com/fun/projects/chernobyl/. I was reminded of the Polidori exhibit on Chernobyl (zones of exclusion) that I saw at the Tate a few years ago or maybe it was in Montreal. Human insignificance shines through Polidori’s work in the form of dissolving cities.

Meanwhile, the safety situation here in the United States could not be more different. Some hourly Verizon guys in trucks asked permission to park in our driveway to check a nearby pole. We thought it was great when they set out orange safety cones in case the traffic on our driveway became confused. As if the yellow flashing lights were not enough…

Safety cones in the driveway. I bet their supervisor makes her kids wear bike helmets.

We spent the afternoon blowing as many clay pigeons as we could out of mid air. Jack is a good shot. Fits right in with the rest of us well-armed liberals.
