What is flex???????? |
||||||||
|
|

It's a 17 minute video piece Chris was commisioned to do for some museum in the UK. The soundtrack was done by Aphex Twin and from what I've read the video involves the form of the body and sex admist black surreal backgrounds. The still images are AWESOME... so I can only imagine what the video is like. Unfortunately the video is not commercially available and is almost impossible to see... at least if you live in the US. |

I have a MPG of it... Camcorder job...but good quality...can stick on a server after the weekend... E me .... You can get it on DVD but the fucker costs 20 grand or so...aimed at galleries etc.... ART etc... But my flex version is pretty cool... |

Man that sounds crazy! Why is it so difficult to see? |
||||||||
|

Flex is Chris C experimenting with shapes, colours, lights, the human body...etc. the afx "soundtrack" is a mix of different tracks RDJ he's done; Gwely Mernans, Hankie (i think)...SawII. it fits pretty well with the pictures. |

ive seen it. its really cool. but there is some sick shit in it too. cocks and stuff like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup. foreskin being pulled back. nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ugghggh...(Shuddering) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's not much cock in it. just a brief moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd love to see it. Just the idea of Gwety Mernans being involved with some haunting or odd imagery alone, is awesome. |

Yeah that dick part totally suprised me hahaha!!!! |

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, and I hope that no one is overly bothered by this. I'm trying to write a report on Flex for an Art History Course, but it is essential that I watch the whole video in order to do so. I've been scouring the Internet, but to no avail. Well, until I got here, sort of. I don't want to stir anything up by mentioning jand, since he is no longer with us, but did anyone acquire his file, and was it around the full 15 minutes? Please and Thank you! |

Quit your course now. You're going to fail if this is part of your research. |
||||||||

I make a point of doing research on multiple fronts - I simply like to cover all of my bases. Don't assume that I am only using online sources. I am covering the piece from a structuralist point of view, and it would behoove me to view the piece in its entirety, as I structuralism is most concerned with an art piece in and of itself, before any other aspects. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"as I structuralism" ? that doesn't make sense. "Don't assume that I am only using online sources" I didn't. I wrote "if this is part of your research" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I apologize for the typo. I couldn't edit the post after making it. It should say "as structuralism is..." I admit that my second post was reactionary, and I made my own assumptions about what you were saying. "This" as a pronoun, does not define whether you mean asking people on a forum or viewing the piece. I should still be able to bs my way through the paper based on other people's experience of flex, but I would really prefer not to. sorry for jumping to conclusions |

yeh but it's pretty moot so why bother. |

I've seen it I think. It was him mixing live so it might have been different but the version I saw was easily over 10 minutes. It was a three screen jobby which is probably why it can only be viewed in certain circumstances, is not online etc. |

They played the full version ages ago in the break of the London Sinfonietta/Squarepusher/Jamie Lidell performances in 2004 I saw it twice on that tour. The only other place I've seen it was someones YouTube video from the big chill festival in the uk, it had the video playing before he mixed and chopped it up with afx's elephant song. I just looked for it but they must of taken it down due to all the graphic content and also because the user had uploaded a video of the whole set which Chris Cunningham might not have been happy about. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the dvd only contains the first minutes of it, which is a shame cause it looks really brilliant. still the filmed mpg has an impact. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Thank you!! You're the best ^_^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
