Joester's Top Ten "Research" Hits
Mr. Nobody, you have totally inspired me! I've had a copy of the camper guy rant for years on my "found footage" DVD, and it's always a show stopper. That tape also has a great spring break video with the phrase "you are the worst fucking shitter-bonger in the history of fucking shitter-bongers". I too have been time wasting on you tube but I am going to use it in my art so I get to call it "research". So here's what I have learned doing "research".

4. Number one Segway accident video. I suggest downloading it (figure it out yourself) and looping it endlessly.

darling, we couldn't make it much past 2, let alone 10, but if you're willing to disregard our disregard, here are our choices for the best exhibitions of the past year (curiously enough, neither were reviewed by us in our regular little endeavour):
-Shary Boyle and Doug Paisley at the Pleasure Dome: perhaps grafting plaintive pop songs on to her projections is cheating slightly, but nevertheless, the closest we've come (in Toronto) to weeping at an art event.
-Auto Emotion at the Power Plant: brilliant display of curatorial skill; thorough, ambitious, and funny (unfortunately rare in art shows, let alone video art shows). For all the reaming we gave them for their Toronto show, we must give credit where (and when) credit is due.
