The final 17 years of American singer and musician Karen Carpenter, performed almost entirely by modified Barbie dolls.
Hiding inside&out, writhing about, taken out&in.
Pounding backbeats beaten by [(Don't Get)] warm[welcomes]th.
Slowed, stowed, achingly retold.
Rather pointless, rather stilted, fetid; not what we want us going after.
This cacophony runs over me, over everything I see, everything I want to see: it's me.
It's time the times met each other over & over.
Don't ask me why, but I feel we're about to cry trying.

A poetic, semi-autobiographical short film of the sun setting over a village, shot from behind the curtains of a small, dimly lit room.
This fantastical movie inspired by the music of Michael Jackson features imaginative interpretations of hit tracks from the iconic 1987 album “Bad”.
Part of a collection of restored early works by Nam June Paik, the haunting Beatles Electronique reveals Paik's engagement with manipulation of pop icons and electronic images. Snippets of footage from A Hard Day's Night are countered with Paik's early electronic processing.
Your raging romp results only in rescinded regret @ the hands of radder cadets.
Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.
Return to 'burn' only to find out you're already in that urn.
(Some of us) Still run down the same [mental&emotional] streets we revered/reproached/replaced as children.
Global Groove was a collaborative piece by Nam June Paik and John Godfrey. Paik, amongst other artists who shared the same vision in the 1960s, saw the potential in the television beyond it being a one-sided medium to present programs and commercials. Instead, he saw it more as a place to facilitate a free flow of information exchange. He wanted to strip away the limitations from copyright system and network restrictions and bring in a new TV culture where information could be accessed inexpensively and conveniently. The full length of the piece ran 28 minutes and was first broadcasted in January 30, 1974 on WNET.
TRAUMA is a collaborative film project by Jesse Kanda and Arca first partially exhibited at MoMA PS1 at the end of 2013.
