Current/Draught

From the Kiez-schaft project. Check out the whole time-line: https://www.kiez-schafft.com/projekt

Following on from Cruz Proxy is Jolon Dixon’s Current / Draught is a work of poetic anthropology meeting a music video. Jolon intended it to be a denouement for the Kiez.Schafft project. Denouement means to untie in French, but he thinks he’s tangled and mangled all the threads that run through the series so in truth it’s a nouement.

The videos explore the themes of modularity, the industrialisation of knowledge and personal reflections upon the works that comprise the Kiez.Schafft series. He react to the robot in Atlasbackflip.com with empathy, recognising the feeling of flipping and failing to flip in a portfolio career life, jumping between day jobs, making art and attempts at being an impressario, between the post-industrial world we walk and commute within and the virtualised realm of the internet. All that demands a sense of weightlessness when we are most definitely tied to the earth.

So Jolon folded the spirit of the robot becoming human and the human being robot into this mix of veiled allusions and visual, sonic and poetic rhymes and references to the whole series.

Everything Wrong With The Force Awakens

I liked The Force Awakens a lot but @portfoliage didn’t and we have a lot of nerd quibbles so here’s a list of petty hateful complaints before red letter media makes a 5 hour video saying the same thing (my comments are denoted by a dash and hers by an asterisk)

-small arms fire stops Poe's x-wing from taking off but the concentrated fire of a stormtrooper squad fails to damage the TIE Poe and Finn escape in

-there are now ethnic gangs in star wars even though human ethnicity is irrelevant in the star wars universe

-the rathtars eat and dismember everyone else right away but decide to save finn as a snack for later

-finn accidentally activates the dejarik board on the millennium falcon and the whole movie grinds to a halt to remind you what it was like to be alive in the 70s

-the only original trilogy alien species we see in the movie are a sullustan x-wing pilot and Squidface McTrap even though we're making callbacks to everything else

*maz was a useless ugly cgi demon who didn't say anything the characters and audience didn't already know

*wise old lady with zero wisdom probably only there to tick off smugly that there's another female character

*I liked the robot that reported their arrival to the resistance vs the weird enslaved sex lady reporting to the death eaters

*it makes no sense that dumb raisin bartender lady has luke's lightsaber but not luke's hand

*so mad she doesn’t have creepy mummy luke hand

*maybe rey ate it and thats why shes a jedi

*i wish rey had been developed more she has potential to be cool, she’s kind of just flawless and boring

-she can shoot better than stormtroopers by her second blaster shot which is really unfortunate for stormtroopers (i like rey a lot)

*get this... we'll make a death star again........ but BIGGER...

-I was ok with this death orb but no more, they’ve used up their death orb allowance

-the briefing to destroy starkiller base is the funniest scene in the movie: “it's gotta have some kinda fuckin’ thermal oscillator” “it does, right here” “ok that'll probably work”

-kylo ren leaves the girl who just out scanner'd him and who's strong in the force defended by a single shitty stormtrooper

-why does captain phasma disable the shields just because they threaten to kill her, why wouldn't her character just say "shoot me" rather than sabotage the key weapon of the first order

-they only attacked with a fleet of x-wings so they didn't need to disable the shield since the millennium falcon established that you can fly under the shield at lightspeed

-lord snoke looks just like a mashup of voldemort and nero from jj trek

*he looks like someone took an actual villain and used the smudge tool in photoshop

-the trench run squeakquel felt really obligatory and pointless besides watching x-wing pilots get fried in familiar circumstances

*ya why would you ever come up with new content if you can just use the same exact shit over and over again why bother actually creating a unique film when you can just slap together a bunch of shit like a clumsy idiot

-rey uses the force to download how to lightsaber fight like it’s the fucking matrix

*junk jizz abrams

-jizz is a canonical genre of music in the star wars universe and it's a crime that of all the callbacks and pandering fanservice this was totally ignored
