The top two clips are from movies that were historically referred to as Race Films. Years ago the CBC broadcast them on Saturday afternoons.

Following up on a quote from Tom Moody which I'll repeat:
"Artists, too, have to compete with real world content far more captivating than anything they could come up with, which the Internet effectively gathers all in one place (sneezing Pandas, etc). Two possible responses are (1) to continually rise above it through aesthetic and conceptual framing and posturing or (2) to disappear into it and trust the viewer to ultimately sort out what's going on. The Web is a consumer's medium, not a producer's, so the artist is inexorably led to consumption as a "practice." The degree of criticality can only be inferred, not implied."Here are some more posts on net aesthetics.

Bill Burns ... sardonic, suave and smart as whip. He has a nice show on right now at Michael Klein's gallery on Ossington called Some Dogs and Boats and Airplanes.
The show ends on Saturday, so drop by this week if you want to see it. There are a couple of really funny letter-writing projects. I don't want to give spoilers, so take my word for it, but here's a hint, there's some fun for those of us who love to hate Fantino and some more fun for people who are sick to death of yogurt yogurt everywhere yogurt as if yogurt was the answer to all of life's ills. Also a funny watercolour treat for Toronto artists who have been snubbed by Toronto curators. And, of course, a lot of very cute doggies.
