Animal Charm’s Golden Digest. DVD published in US by Other Cinema.
An influential precursor to the modern VJ movement, ANIMAL CHARM has  
screened its unmistakably strange brew of live video mixing at  
festivals and museums worldwide since the mid-90s. GOLDEN DIGEST is a  
compilation of 25 mind-blowing videoworks and performances from the  
past ten years of their prolific career. By compositing TV and  
reducing it to a kind of tic-ridden babble, Animal Charm force  
television to not make sense. While this disruption is playful, it  
also reveals an overall 'essence' of mass culture that would not be  
apprehended otherwise. Videos such as Stuffing, Ashley, and Lightfoot  
Fever upset the hypnotic spectacle of TV viewing, revealing how  
advertising creates anxiety, how culture constructs 'nature' and how  
conventional morality is dictated through seemingly neutral images.  
By forcing television to convulse like a raving lunatic, we might  
finally hear what it is actually saying. http://
