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://
