cinema of weather and virtual objects http://www.alansondheim.org/virtual.mp4 you say cinema, but this is clearly a video construction; you say tv, but where are the cameras, the lights and actions; it is true real weather that is the action; and it is the lights of the city that are the lights of cinema; wait you say, but where is the camera of this cinema; the camera is in the house, i cry, the camera is in the house; and it is not the camera of cinema, it is the camera of video; for it is not the camera of television, but the camera of debris; and where does debris take us, but to the grotesque of the virtual; surprise of the virtual in the midst of true-real weather; you say weather, and this is clearly a construction of weather; the weather is out of the house, the weather is outside; you say the weather is outside of everywhere and everything; the weather murmurs its own grotesque of the world (i say); look around you, the weather's taking over, here are its minions; here are its minions and here is the image of cinema and tv.
