The Technological Creation of a Monster in Collusion with the Technological Creation of a Monster http://www.alansondheim.org/fookit2s.mp4 (12 minutes) with Foofwa and Jonathan and ghosts, as well as Japanese tsunami reportage. [small image because of length] What happens when everything boils over, and nothing occurs: this is the video where nothing occurs. This is the video where ghosts are made and they're made from monsters made from ghosts. It's also a video of preparation for Foofwa d'Imobilite, Pina Jackson in Mercemoriam at The Kitchen as I have often said, but it is not that piece, it is a piece of the creation, by technology, of a monster in collusion. Everything in the world is a cell, and every cell, like every electron, is the identical, not equivalent, cell; what makes the monster _is_ the monster, and what makes a ghost _is_ a ghost. What I am trying to say is that it's 'one and the same,' and it's this 'one and the same' that the video is about; the video is of course in collusion with video. I want to thank Foofwa and Jonathan for allowing me to freely video, not only this, but other, events, that they have been nothing but kind to me and in this life and the 'life of the future' which is now, I will have already paid them back in kind. Thus the monster in collusion with kindness, with power, with electrical energy, and the sound of the voice in earthquake and empty halls in collusion with voice and earthquake, fecund with electrical energy. All choreography and text by Foofwa, lighting by Jonathan.
