you cant beat a bit of pseudo english pagan folk from the ex-members of the Betaband, looks cheap and rubbish and we’ve seen backwards stuff before but i think the rhythm of it really works.

Heres the latest vid from Gondry for Bjork.
I wonder what my late Nan would have made of this, as a girl she used to work in the cotton mills in Rochdale on very similar looking machines.

I came across the work of Tim Noble and Sue Webster mentioned on the CR Blog, it reminds me of the Shadowplay illustration Carys did for the Travelling Light Theatre group. Seems to be a long line of ‘shadowplay’ trains of thought out there, nice.

Remember Tim Hunkin, he used to be on TV in the 80’s, he was a mad professer type who’d show you how a vhs recorder worked with some iron filings and a piece of selotape, he’s still going and making mad machines like this Art Apocolypse machine.

You may remember Steven from Blue Peter in the eighties, he was this kid with autism who could draw amazingly detailed pictures from memory. Now and again i’ll remember him and look him up on his website and you see these quite nice detailed drawings and i think yeah theyre ok, what was all the fuss about, then you read the info and its a view of san francisco that he visited about 5 years before and he did it from memory and then i find myself swearing with amazement, for instance he spent nearly a week doing a detailed mural drawing of Tokyo’s cityscape after just a 20 minute helicopter ride over the city. I bet he never forgets his packed lunch. Refresh your memory here Picture via lineandcolours.com
