'I WUV YOU'
So anyway, I've been interested lately about the relationship between humans and pets.
Basically i stumbled across a whole load of you home made you tube videos of owners getting their pets to say 'i love you' or 'mama' or ' i want one' or what-have-you.the majority of them where from America, actually all of them where.some owners seemed loving and some of them where annoying and forceful.Its odd to me how much pets will do for us and also how demanding we are of them.I also think that there is quite a few people who wished that they're pets could talk (i think its a good thing that they cant!) , i know i wanted that soo bad when i was a kid.Its interesting that the main thing that we are getting our pets to say to us is 'I love you'. of course the pet is just mimicking but we like to be fooled and its a good trick.Like i do think animals feel affection for us but id rather let them be animals, thats why i like them in the first place!
So what is compelling us to make them seem more human? It strange what humans will do once they realize they have a certain control over another living thing, especially one they consider weaker or smaller. Certain tribes and culture hold animals in respect and admiration , adorning themselves with representations of the beast that makes them run off in the other direction (eg. bear). Pets are like our suburban link to our ancient times when we had to live side by side with animals in ready made shelters of caves and jungles.
so i did a sound collage , and its on myspace.

Bowie's original teeth + the Ikettes (1970's)
5 min 20 seconds of full on singing in Young Americans.
This song grew on me after watching the Lars Von Trier films in which he matches this song up with images of a decaying America over the end credits.
Baby Get it ON!
"...i wanna stick to you like white on rice,..so c'mon!"
i think this is tina's original hair. I saw the biopic "Whats love got to do with it"
at a very early age and i always felt sorry for tina, i cant really listen to the early stuff like "I Idolize you" without feeling uncomfortable.
watch for the Ikettes doing the robot!

cat farts @ anastasia's house.co
The kaleidescope is going well!, the internal mirror section is done! me and my dad figured out a way of securing the cheapo mirrors from the reject shop together.Anything you put inside its centre becomes beautiful thanks to repetition of pattern. Its kind of amazing to me.
