That cat masking is the most subtly insane thing I've ever seen in an art work. Every time I see it I still wonder where the hell it came from.

Thanks L.M! What do you mean by masking?

The painted window masking the flight decks and videos.

okay, that's kind of what I thought. The big rabbit is quite a bit like a mask.

Oh I see what you mean, I should have written rabbit mask masking the cats. (or said love that thingy) It's been a long long day.

I so want this to be a weekly series with Gerry Anderson production values.

I gave it an "awesome" rating, because it's awesome.

I especially like the quasi-scientific video screen content (replete with "tv static").

Thanks Joester and Tom! In case anybody doesn't know, the Hubble space images are public domain (and the Ken Burns effect comes with imovie).

"..I still wonder where the hell it came from." Someone asked me the other day where I get my ideas from. It's sort of a good question, although, of course, pretty impossible to answer without just babbling on and on about stuff the questioner isn't interested in. Thicket is a real collaboration, so that makes it even harder to unpack. Von Bark and I would probably have very different answers. For me, the big rabbit spaceship face is like a animal/person (machine), and to see what's in the animal/person's (machine's) mind you have to look in through the eyes, like backwards perception, and then the action, which spans a period of time, is lodged concurrently in the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

I was just wondering about the crazy-ass graphic. But the other stuff (like: what did you mean by that?) is good to know too.

I thought I was explaining where the graphic came from. I suck at this.

I'm teasing you, that sort of thing is always unexplainable, I am still marvelling at its teeth.
