Hmm. "Experimenting with video in looping, repetitive formats".
This sounds bad. But consider it in the context of her "decade of experience
playing in rock bands" and it provides a title almost in the same league as "I
Hate Myself And Want To Die", "Unit-Shifting Radio Shit" etc. I mean, aren't we
all "Experimenting with looping, repetitive formats"? [Cf. induction, the
problem of].
Still, it's all less interesting surely than whether, and if so to what extent,
art should be met 'on its own terms'? Yessir. The main drift.

Amazingly it seems I was born on the very same day as the writer of some above
titles and worked as a bouncer at a gig they played in London at SOAS before
they went global (we didn't bond afair; I don't remember what he was doing; I
was busy doing what I was paid to do and throwing people off the stage and back
into the crowd; the only band I remembered by name were The Young Gods - from
Switzerland afair. Fascinating.)
No, this was post was not just a pretext
