stupdi dumb pretty test results highspeed negatgive echo mountain echo in the middle 10000 stralings in stupid neggative starling echo then nice at the end there's landscape sublime Kantian quite nice in relation oh and some good effects at 250 miles an hour driving it might be faster than that can't keep track in any case what's beyond the surface of these things nothing nothing nothing it's going to go on youtube as well but the birds will be lost a bit, not know where to go, what happens when a bird's devoured by compression, it disappears forever, not like those tv programs where everything's reconstructed by just enlarging the pixels, beyond the pixel's there nothing, which is why i spend my life worrying the digital sublime - not to mention the phenomenology of the digital sublime, which gets caught on the barbed wire of the real which tears it but then what happens is just a discard of the file - nothing e=changes elsehwere unless of course there's a gun at the end of thedigital chain, in which case there's catastrophe brought to you by that translation, but here it's harmless, the starlings themselves not quite, driving out the native birds, taking over the nests, on the other hand, if there is one, there's the amazement of such huge flocks, unusual anywhere in north america in the late twentieth ce3ntury - what i hate about surfing, the idea that someone's conquering the ocean, or in mountain-lclimbing, conquering the mountain, when all a rock has to do is fall on someone or a big waves comes along and the surfer disappears for ever, there should be more of that http://www.asondheim.org/riverswanted.mp4 it looks better than it will on youtube can't upload on youtube now check this out if you have the patience ======================================================================= Work on YouTube, blog at http://nikuko.blogspot.com .
