This DVD of my (video)work is just finished and brought to you by Vogel Visions Inc. Soon I will put some videomaterial online… Read what my buddy Rufus.K had to say about it:
In the compilation DVD you’re about to see (If you want a copy), Gyz La Rivière takes you with him into the beautiful, versatile world of the VHS age on the one side, and on a journey through his carreer on the other. By doing so, Gyz is showing that one cannot understand his work without understanding the aestethics of the ‘horizontal screen line’, the 25-frames-per-sec. rate or the 3:4 aspect ratio he loves so much. On top of this, he managed to make such an interesting moody promo that it’s not just good fun to watch it if you’re some kind of museum curator. It’s also a document hailing the first MTV era and the early skateboard videos like ‘Public Domain’ or ‘Ban This’.
Over 40 minutes of pure fun, this DVD offers all the highlights of Gyz videotic experimentation, registrations of performances and installations, never before seen promo-material of the ‘This is The Flow’ show (with Spannish comment!), which Gyz made in cooperation with Robert Rosenau and the Girl Skateboard Co., a look back at the infamous Knakendisco nights, his first full blown exhibition on the classic video game system, live VJ sets, some never before seen HuMobisten material, shots of the legendary INGSOC shop and the list goes on and on and on. Let’s waste no more time. Go and check out the promo ‘tape’ of a guy totally devoted to making serious amounts of awesome moments in video history.

Join this premiere! All my old skate-frets are in this movie. You can’t miss it, if you live in the Netherlands ofcourse… And between 24.00 and 01.00 the HuMobisten are playing some records.

All of you who can’t wait to see ‘ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO’, do yourself a favor and wait for the DVD release. It’s ok, it’s fine, it’s quality time, maybe… But it sure ain’t genius! Johnny Depp, though, is always a sight for sore eyes. If I was a girl, I’d move to France and kick Vanessa OUT!

Last Sunday we did the ‘Et Cetera’ gig. The Forma Foundation came up w/ the idea of taking two great bands (in our case: Mono & Feverdream) and hook ’em up with two great artists (in our case: us). Anyway, we came up with the idea of allnite playback-party-action…
The pictures above show that we couldn’t have done it without our HuMobitches (above) (love you, girls) and the playback skills of (in this case) Mono jamming out to the sound of feverdream (below – on the left in total darkness, ACE!)
oh yeah, the bands have websites as well, find ’em here:
the feverdream website

Just when you think you had it figured out, a hell of a jazz
flick is re-issued on DVD!
After hearing MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS
for the billionth time last september, I figured ‘Charlie M. is the
greatest jazz musician that ever lived, period. Some time later,
me and some friends watched my (video) copy of ‘Straight, No
Chaser’ a film portrait of Thelonious ‘Sphere’ Monk. After seeing
it again, I could do nothing but adjust my prior statement…

After some intense websearching I found myself a little piece of heaven in the
Shit Creek called the Web. For whoever is interested in the existentialist hell
of a modern teen Queen bee and her tragic and witty life this weblog is not to
be missed! If you, like me, always thought you were the only normal person
around while experiencing the painful, boring years of adolescence, this site
will make you laugh more than Adrian Mole did quite some time ago. Don’t you
know that it’s different for girls? Yes, I do… I can’t help but being surprised
by girls and their strange obsessions. For instance for older male aesthetics
and mystery. wow… (Dutch Readers Only)

This is Tymen, our very own intern. He’s really not just a nice guy. He’s also good at what he does.
He’s also REALLY serious and just killed the Rotterdam Artschool Web Server by participating at the greytuesday campaign that made it possible to download the HOT HOT HOT grey album (dangermouse). If you don’t know what it is, find out more at tymen and friends’ extraordinary weblog, called 113b.

Kodi and Sasker Scheerder.
