Lee Marvin Toolbox

This piece is tremendous!
The description-

<…stylistically ascribed
to the young British
design-school, ….Navigation on the
internet his subject…
…..counters them in an ironical way ….>

made me fear the worst.
The work is great, like a sort of multimedia Ben
Marcus.
Wonderful stuff!
Michael

laughed very quietly…

It's great -worth persisting with, even to the extent
of going to somebody else's place, comandeering their
computer and watching it there.
So frustrating when you've worked hard on a piece
,done all the right things and it doesn't run for some
deeply arcane reason on some particular machine.
But the piece itself- hard to say why it's great but
there's something deeply touching about it. The use of
the Lee Marvin thing is not just tedious chummy
postmodern club irony but transcends it completely.
And there's something about the way the various
windows pop up against the background of the cheesy
and yet rather beautiful song that again I have to say
is *moving*. So hard often to say exactly why one
thing feels like authentic art and another phony but
this piece definitely does it for me. They were right
to give it a prize.
persist!

Will try again - got nothing against irony or satire at all. Some of the
most effective art/music is ironic and still possesses soul…
