Last weekend, Cochella kicked off the season. I didn't go this year
but friends have reported that one unique new thing was PDA (Public
Displays of Affection). From what I hear, snogging couples were so
frequent, some attendees may have made out with each other just to fit
in.

San Francisco's HowWeird Street Faire just a hare under two weeks away
and usually kicks off the season for me. Alas, I am single, but that
doesn't stop me from big PDA for myself in the art world. I just got
very warm with myself the other day. I'll explain:

I've been meme-sensing and have a fix on a really excellent theme.
Tied in deeply with the public's 2012 obsession is the idea that life
on earth was seeded from elsewhere. That the calendars of the Pyramid
building cultures came from another place than earth. I think this is
a huge year for aliens and content in pop culture. So at the lab over
the last few months I've been channeling, sensing, researching and
really examining the idea "Alien Life" and letting the exploration
inform my art.
I was making art the other night and thinking about the pop-culture
portrayal of aliens as objects. Just as media objectifies people with
stereotypes that provide us the smallest rational leap possible to
treating them any way that "satisfies" us, the media also portrays
alien life in a similar "disposable" "single use" manner. But aliens
usually don't hit the bedroom before their ultimate objectification as
we always portray humans killing off every form of life that doesn't
originate on our planet. But what if we had sex with them first? I'm
just joking of course, that's even too pervy for me. But I did get to
thinking: If aliens were visiting earth, would they want to get lucky?
Would it be easy or hard. How would it work? That is assuming they
even have sexes and if they do, two of them.

The first video in the Alien Sex series is called Teenage Crime. I
play Twin Aliens who've been on their space ship too long. They are
anxious to get to earth to enjoy the last days of the era of sexual
repression and pent up natural desire. Humans have made a planet full
of people who either aren't getting any or are feeling bad for getting
it and these two aliens are looking forward to being "greeted as
liberators" There is no visible sex or nudity in the piece, which I
would have written to spec for a PG13 rating but the Motion Picture
Association doesn't publish guidelines on how to achieve each rating
class.

Teenage Crime

That is the pinnacle of repression: ambiguous authority. If you never
know if what you are doing is right then validation will cause a
mentation changing surge of dopamine in the VTA of the brain if you
find out what you are doing is right. Also, a fight or flight liver
and kidney experience if you are exposed and rejected. Either way, the
participants in ambiguous authority systems like that end up hooked on
the experience. Believing that there is logic beyond the establishment
of authority in the judging model.

I there are more videos in this series below. Contact me if you are a VJ and
want content to spin. I'd be happy to hook you up with a native
resolution copy of this set.
