Dinner and Art

Back in November 2009 I discussed burning videos to CD. (DVD for all fifteen.) With the three new clips, "Near Miss", "Interspersion" and "Trifles" at four, five and six minutes respectively there is an hour and fifteen minutes all told. How about a cyber dinner to go with? The above stills are in the listed order, three, three and two. The "Amateur Night" production below is recut from "Near Miss".

Length: 43 sec.

There is no sound but sing along if you know the tunes. Please play four times to get past the stalling if necessary.

Song Sheet

To the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"

Row, row, row your boat

Gently into place

Verily, verily, verily, verily,

Ruin the bribe brigade.

To the tune of "Sandman"

Sandman send me a dream

Who mugged Sandman?

That was obscene.

Mr. Sandman send me a dream.

To the tune of "Round and Round the Mulberry Bush"

Round and round in the early morn

The bluster chased the easel.

Time to lay your money down,

Chesty or evil?

To the tune of "Mayim" (Hebrew)

Come elections you should know

These sensations get our goat.

Maya, maya, maya, maya,

Sensations come and go.

Maya, maya, maya, maya,

A good word now to know.

To the tune of the red shoe mobile jingle

Oh how sweetly I can come on

Oh how sweetly I can sound

Oh how sweetly I can come on

Oh how sweetly I can hound.

"Lastly", "Latitude", "Disregardful", "Likewise", "Semifinished", "Ostensibly", "Relate" and "Colorless"

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence." Daniel 12:2. Eight five-minute clips are broken into blog size posts. This will be confusing but I will try to track them for you. "Semifinished" starts with this quote and "Likewise" has the other three images above. The garden sculptures are from "Likewise" and "Ostensibly". Gusting and brisk wind animate similar sculptures in the top clip, '"Colorless" and "Semifinished"' on the blog Lauren Rothstein's Video 2. The bottom clip, "Can Black Holes Be Used as Nuclear Waste Dumpsites?" at http://laurenrothsteinvdo2.blogspot.com/ is a newspaper sculpture from "Relate". The middle two clips from "Relate" and "Colorless" use text abstractly and to cite the Holy Scriptures respectively.

The Commemorative Editions in the "Reading Room" post on Art Silo are actually all quotations from the Good Book. The first image on April First Edition is from "Disregardful" and the second image and first clip come from "Lastly", however "Lastly" is sans text. Selections from "Latitude" are in the other April First Edition video. "Lastly" also is the source of the images in Song of Songs and Presidents Day Tribute. Art Silo is at http://virtualartvenue.blogspot.com/. Cards 14 and 15 at Glocal Card Shop are also from "Lastly". Addresses follow.

Upon seeing the five minute clips people say, "It looks different". Yes, I shorten and/or reorder the material.
