I have seen the SoulSeek version of Flex and was impressed with it, until I went here:
http://www.director-file.com/cunningham/510.html
and downloaded their Quicktime clip at the top of the page. The quality is PERFECT. Does anyone know where they got the clip from? I missed so much becaus eof the degraded image quality of the Soulseek version.

There is a DVD of FLEX available....
but it costs about $25,000 .... slightly beyond the pocket of many I guess....
It is ART after all....and the DVD/whatever is geared towards being sold to Galleries & Art Collectors (i.e. not you bunch of scruffy gits..;) )....
I think there were only about 20 or so made....limited edition and all that.....
You should have gone to see it at the Apocalypse show in London.... that was very special!!!!

I would've done ANYTHING to see that Apocalypse show. I just don't have the argent to shell out. Hmmm... I'm wondering if the people who owned the site got one of the DVDs... I think they are only college students, I'd e-mail them, but I know they wouldn't respond back.

That is good! I wish I'd had the chance to see the apocalypse show.
I'm sure if anyone smart (or not exceedingly wealthy) has a copy on DVd they'll burn copies of the DVD and bootleg them. Crazily, according to the postmodern philosophy, this piracy will actually increase the value of the originals...

I reckon it'll turn up again in some gallery...if it's that amount of money then they're def gonna show it....
Let's keep our eyes peeled....I get a lot of Art Mags so if I see anything, I'll let you know....I know MOMA in NY have a lot of video art so they might be worth a ring; I'll see if I can get one of my more arty mates to contact them via his dealer...
I'm eager to see it too....I loved that video...(even if the partner finds it a bit disturbing...)...

I think Flex is Cunningham's best work, followed by Only You and All Is Full Of Love. I only wish I could see it the way Cunningham intended it to be viewed, in crystal clarity. Still, I am so greatful just to see it at all!

HAHAHA
You break into his UK studio and I'll break into his NY one and then we'll trade all the good stuff we get. I want to intern with him, so maybe I'll do it the legal way. Nah, breaking in is quicker.

Holy shit... Ceri I thought I was tripping out when your avatar face twitched. Very subliminal... we could use that sneakiness in getting the DVD, let's all do it.
