you want it, you got it...

Here’s 4 images from the Basement Jaxx ‘Cish Cash’ video I first saw a couple
of days ago. I remember thinking ‘I have to put a post on our site on this intense
video’, but I forgot. Then, today Gyz and I were watching ‘Het bos ruikt naar
Shampoo’ (the woods smell like shampoo), a dutch (VPRO) Bonanza episode
about the work of Michel van Duyvenbode and Koert van Mensvoort, two
dutch artists who have quite some good stuff to say on reality. Especially when
you keep in mind that this episode hails from the year 2001. We’re fashionably
late, I suppose... Besides, if it wasn’t for Nicole’s need to find out all the secrets
of modern day perception, we might have never seen it at all. Thank you!

Anyway, all this somehow reminded me of that splendid video I had seen earlier.
The song (sung by Siouxsie Sioux) is evidently critical in the now-sense of the
word, —morally and politically engaged dance stuff (Which is a good thing!)— but
wait till you’ve seen the video in which communist power display meets american
Superbowl entertainment, as an amazing virtual choreography for army tanks,
helicopters and jet-fighters underline the madness and insatiability of the powers
we are dealing with on a daily basis.

In a weird way I found this a pretty optimistic video, it reminded me of the fact
that thinking, living humans choose construction over destruction. It‘s really,
really beautifull. Have a look! (real player link)
