Wow. The images combined with the music in this video make it weirdly emotionally charged, and give it some unique artistic flare. Check it out…if bone-breaking ski jump falls don’t make you too queezy.

A goat that shoots silk is a work of art.
Gnarly Fun Surprise
At first you’ll be like “what the hell is going on here!?” especially if you don’t speak spanish, but wait until halfway through for a surprise.
A Bolt of Lightning!
Here is a 12 second clip of a magnificent bolt of lightning I happened to catch yesterday while out doing some filming.
What will people do for some free gas?
This is a strange little article on what people will do to get some free gas these days, given the outrageous prices. It reminds once again of the desperation, humiliation, and even savagery that people will sometimes go to for as little as $100 in gas. Let’s hope the days of Thunderdome are still far off!
Grizzly Bear - KNIFE
This is a cool song and video. Bizarre and delightfully so.
Fantastic Flying Dildo!
This is just an amazing little piece of footage. Absolutely Brilliant.
Goatsilk’s PORTRAITS FROM AN ARK on Youtube
Goatsilk has just placed all of the PORTRAIT’S FROM AN ARK project onto it’s own tidy little youtube channel. It’s pretty cool. Check it out at:
http://www.youtube.com/user/GoatsilkArk
For anyone unfamiliar with the PORTRAIT’S FROM AN ARK project, here’s a brief synopsis. When it has appeared in galleries, the videos are activated by voice request activation.
The 55 participants in Goatsilk’s PORTRAITS FROM AN ARK project sat down without knowing what animal they’d be painted to look like. When they were told midway through the filming, they enacted the creature using only facial expressions and minor hand gestures. Each video is set to music that we wrote to bring out the particular spirit of the painted animal, and digital effects are added at the end of each video to define the animal even further.
Photogenic Butte, Montana
If you haven’t guessed yet, Goatsilk loves Butte, MT. and wants to live there someday, to be fully submerged in Butte’s beauty. One remarkable thing about Butte is how photogenic it is. Photogenic-ness is a bit of a mystery, isn’t it? Why do some people always look good in pictures, and others always look busted? When someone is photogenic we have to wonder whether or not the camera captures some attractive energy which is beyond what the naked eye can see. Butte is like this. It’s hard to take a bad picture in Butte, whether you’re in the hills of nearly abandoned Walkerville, the historic district, or the commercial strip. The surrounding mountains and ruins and old mining infrastructure add poetry to nearly every shot/angle. Here is another set of photos from beloved Butte.
Improv Everywhere’s Living Mirror!
Improv Everywhere has done a number of clever performance projects in NYC, including the Central Station and Home Depot freeze/slo mo actions, but this may be their best yet, IMO. They got 15 pairs of identical twins to ride the subway, sit across from each other, and mimic each others actions on the train. Talk about a mindf*%k if you happened to step onto that car. Check out this video to see for yourself. Great idea!
