video still from Utopics Video Guide by Geoffrey Pugen

I was very taken with Geoffrey Pugen's video in the current project room show at MOCCA, Future Species: Hybrids. Some of the themes, physical fitness and physiological recomposition, remind me of an early Kristin Lucas video, Watch out for Invisible Ghosts. The dancers with animal heads are really great, and Pugen morphs video to good effect, creating spooky/cute post-human monsters (with more narrative content than Kevin Krivel and David Warne). And today I am in love with the internet again because...you can see the video online!

My personal fave from that show was Edith Dakovic's skin balls.

But I do like the antler images from Utopics Video Guide, they remind me of Oberon from Max Reinhardt's 1935 movie "Midsummer Nights dream". (a film that is truly adored by all 11 year old figure skaters, myself included)

I liked those skin balls too! they have warts and hair, and stand about mid-thigh high.
