Election Collectibles by Bryan Boyce
10 August, 2009 by Andrew RosinskiOh my gosh, we have triple pay on this.
This video is brilliant and is chocked full of perverse artifice.
Bryan Boyce, a San Francisco-based experimental filmmaker, employs astute image/audio juxtapositions by combining 2000 campaign footage of Al Gore and George W. Bush with found audio from late-night TV infomercials. Artificial animated mouths are superimposed on both Gore and Bush — seemingly the presidential canidates sermonize a sales pitch for an overpriced election 2000 collectible light-box (which clearly is made from construction paper, adhesive metallic stars, and other dirt-cheap arts/crafts materials).
The best part of this vid is that it enables absurd audio taken from the late-night cutlery basement infomercial (you know, the katana sword dudes) and, through effective application, it sheds light on an American truth about the QVC party, it’s a super big party, where they party for profit motive during election time. Remember the Obama commemorative plates that popped up shortly after his election win?
Election Collectibles sums up our epoch of millennial consumerism, which, of course, is rife with dirty, dirty infomercials.
Elections Collectibles is available for purchase on Peripheral Produce’s Greatest Hits compilation DVD, which also features work from Deborah Stratman, Miranda July, and Animal Charm. View more on the release here.

Do you recognize the yacht rock song? Is it Toto? 10cc? I can’t remember.

As a video game grows old its content and internal logic deteriorate.
For a character caught in this breakdown problems affect every area of life.

8 Films by Animal Charm
27 July, 2009 by Andrew RosinskiStuffing by Animal Charm
Nothing is safe from Animal Charm: They’ll eat garbage and cough up an avant garde gem.
Animal Charm is the found footage collaborative of Rich Bott and Jim Fetterly. Gleaning outdated footage from VHS and Beta Max tapes that’d you find at a garage sale or your local Goodwill, Bott and Fetterly deconstruct then construct absurd, experimental videos that they piece together with heavy visual looping, manipulative editing, and sometimes abrasive audio looping. Bott and Fetterly really get off by subverting the original intentions of their source material — corporate videos, consumer instructional videos, Hollywood movies, jewelry videos, and so forth — have all been used and abused by Animal Charm. Nothing is safe.
Animal Charm employs a special combination of jump cuts paired with bizarre image/audio loops, which results in an arousal of emotional responses — hypnotic, psychedelic, surreal — some viewers that are sheltered from avant-garde cinema may become annoyed, but it’s the unpredictable humor and feverish montages that make the films of Animal Charm a must see for fans of the avant-garde cinema.
Below are seven more films from Animal Charm, including (more…)
