50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

I made a thing, which I believe is best experienced as ambient background noise, projected onto a bare brick wall. This is not something that you sit down and watch, the way you’d watch a movie or a TV show.

This work was created by combining audio and visual works obtained from the Internet Archive, at archive.org. The visuals are from Panorama Ephemera, which was found in the Prelinger Archives. The audio was remixed and processed in Audacity, and comes from several different sources, also originally found at the Internet Archive.

Everything used to make this video is in the public domain, or is licensed for remix and reuse.

    Maybe ill get lucky and youll see this hehe.

    Installation from iceland, Trajectories 2014 – Sigurður Guðjónsson & Anna Þorvaldsdóttir

    This video doesnt do it justice but i think youll still dig it.

    in the vid, you can see walls, ceiling, corner edges. in the room, which was much darker, you could see nothing other than being in a sea of iron filings. and the bass notes were a physical experience. the combination of the powerful bass-heavy ambients, and total loss of visual orientation, was like being in Trent Reznor’s womb, feeling him from the inside.

    it will sound hyperbolic (is that a non-math word?) but i want just enough money to have my coffin eternally in this room.

    “I made a thing.”
    Can’t tell you how much I love those words… not can I guess how often I’ll borrow them in the future.
    You made a good thing. Be proud of it.

    I had to stop watching. I was worried that if I kept watching a little drowned girl would climb through my TV and make me watch David Lynch’s films.

    This is the most mesmerizing thing I’ve ever seen. I can feel my brain melting. I think I want to project this on the side of my house next Halloween with the soundtrack just barely loud enough to make out the words if you listen.

    Wil, this could easily be displayed in an art gallery. You’re very talented! I had no idea you were so artistic.

    This is similar to Adam Curtis’ work sans his narration – http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis

    If you’ve not seen “All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace”, that’s well worth catching up with 🙂

I haven't actually listened to a full album in a really, really long time. Like, other than Pink Floyd records, which must be listened to in their entirety, always (I will not be taking questions at this time), it just hasn't occurred to me to listen to, say, all of In Utero.

I looked at it, curiously. Why do I still have this?
