...NIBSTOCK (formerly known as june's gin-soaked psych-o-delic summer of love trips festival) continues...
...and another occasional series starts today here on MojoTV with "200", an animated celebration of amerika's bicentennial, animated by vincent collins and produced by the United States Information Agency -the government's propaganda agency.

...wilf wolf says "Bicentennial" (aka "200") is pure 1970s psychedelia. The designs remind me strongly of Peter Max and Yellow Submarine. This short film is a series of flag and other American symbol motifs, almost done to abstraction. Interesting bits include the remnants of the hippie culture (the Woodstock logo, the flag shaped around a peace sign) contrasted with the symbols of mainstream consumer culture (a cornucopia spewing out cars, tvs, hamburgers, and hot dogs). Washington crossing the Delaware becomes a Fauvist riot of color. While trying to use all the American symbols it becomes a oblique critique of those symbols, as they are shown to be changeable and repeated unto abstraction. The fact this was made for the US Information Agency is all the more surprising.
