White Bait Run On  1997                                                    

A catalog of things near and dear to their hearts: Metallic seashells,
plastic baskets, hybrid corkscrew-strainer-restraint mechanisms,
discorama, Brain flip-flop multi-vibrators, and other assorted objects
precisely manipulated, choreographed and orchestrated to release your
tensions and make your sides split open with laughter.


Five Stoics  1997

This work studies the inner souls of 5 inanimate proxies of Man.  Nobody
knows the trouble they've seen.


FoulMouth Rotorvations  1998

Still feeling sick over their last trip to Coney Island, Stackable Thumb tried
to settle their stomachs by making this video. It concerns the very crux of
their stomach trouble; the jelly ring they saved from that last Coney Island
trip.  It ends ominously, as the whole universe begins to be washed down the drain.


Grant Me the Krammer Chuck  2000

A double exposure of two simultaneous revolutionary improvs.  Naval tests
the impact of centrifugal forces on various objects on his vari-speed motor
while Valued rolls his own hand cranked Kitchen Magician to impel other
things in circles.  These actions take on different import as the video
progresses: hypnotism, spin-art, basement voodoo rituals.  As the experiment
closes, the results are conclusive: meaning can be uncoupled from form with
sufficient spin.


Meet the Many  2001




On The Way...

The Futures Past Backwards

Post-comsumptive come-down and the Shame of Waste.  Normally we like this
kind of stuff, but we acknowledge there's a country song in there somewhere.
A strong undercurrent: the flipside of California Dreaming we never knew
out East.
