Superfluid Hologram

Michael Garfield

“What is the internet?,” asks one of the now-hilarious VHS-era videos sampled in the opening sequence of the recent collage-umentary INTERNET RISING For the next hour, the filmmakers take us on a far-ranging journey through innumerable perspectives on that basic question, from technogurus (Kevin Kelly) to e-celebrities (ze frank), media scholars (Douglas Rushkoff) to Second Life activists (Serenity96).

Organized in topical sections, this film’s thesis seems appropriately recursive: the medium is, of course, the message – and the medium of the internet is a kind of superfluid hologram that itself contains and transforms all prior media (cinema for example) with its hyperlinked collective cognition. Gone is the linear narrative – replaced with the “noetic polities” of ideas existing in association, spatialized in and as people, each of us “possessed by” the ideas of creative freedom, anonymous activism, radical expression, or liberation of potential that the web’s Neptunian promise animates in so many of us.

But as the internet is a meta-medium itself, an ocean in which music and video, text and programs flow, internetrising echoes tapes and 8-bit videogames, taking the skin of a gritty, pixilated, cyberpunk aesthetic that confuses past and future. Is it simply ironic, or does the noisy anachronism poke fun at our own silly version of the future?

Halfway through the film, everything suddenly shifts from fake tape noise to spinning mycelial galaxies and the angelic endgame of the internet is exposed. When suddenly the conversation turns to how digital life transcends the survival drive and liberates selfhood into total exploratory richness, it casts the whole conversation of conflict between anonymous protests and web savvy media machines as a drama of cosmic proportions. The corporate cloud as backhanded centralization and #occupy as the first global folk uprising are depicted as characters in a clash of the titans.

To hear people talk about it, you’d think we were building a temple – and maybe therein lies the ultimate point of consensus for which all of us are grasping. There’s something else taking shape here, an angel through the noise…in the midst and mix, a meta-agreement occurs. We may not agree on the nature or potential of cyberspace, but we all recognize its intrinsic value as a medium of (transnational and transpersonal) connection – and maybe that is the first idea that seven billion egoic agendas can get behind. “What’s good for cyberspace?” might be the question that saves the human species.

INTERNET RISING's diverse sources and solid talking points make for a fittingly webby presentation, many-faceted and open-ended like the Pandora’s box this topic is. It’s a film suitable for compassionate mockery by time capsule archeologists in fifty years, wondering how wise and unsuspecting we were before the Great Awakening.

“Free speech, indeed, depends upon the existence of anonymous speech.”

A Trip To The Moon

Georges Méliès’ 1901 classic Le Voyage dans la Lune is a psychedelic adventure. Even more so with color and set to AIR’s new song Sonic Armada.

Rockers (Movie) – 1979

Even now, more than 30 years after its glory days, it’s extraordinary to realise that reggae has not been celebrated, or even just captured, in a raft of films. Those films where rock is the subject or the soundtrack are a dime a dozen, but reggae has really only three, “The Harder They Come” from 1972 (with the unforgettable Jimmy Cliff on the soundtrack) ,”Country Man” from 1982 and this one, “Rockers”, released in the UK in 1979. Back then skinny, spitting British punks had adopted (and adapted) reggae and introduced it to a much wider audience.
32 years on, the sheer life in “Rockers” has survived well. The kind of film where atmosphere is all, and narrative counts for little, this is the Jamaica-set story of a drummer, Leroy ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace (playing, like other musicians in the film, a version of himself) who, talented though he is, is mightily fed up with being ripped off by the local music business. Unable and unwilling to survive on occasional recording sessions and gigs, he opts to buy a flashy red motorbike and distribute records himself. The first result of his part-self-centred, part-idealistic efforts is a severe beating and a stolen bike.
Leroy Wallace amusingly reflects the prevalent casualness of the local men, all the more so when his determination to change things breaks through. Whether it is the uniqueness of male-bonding Jamaica-style, the ease of friendship or brittle relationships with women, “Rockers” certainly conveys the rhythms of local life, all of them matched by the soundtrack which features Burning Spear, Bunny Wailer, Third World and Peter Tosh.

Three Dubstep Comedy Videos Featuring It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, King Of The Hill, & Seinfeld

This Dayman “Always Sunny in Philly” dubstep remix by Joman is the best damn thing I’ve seen in a day full of funny anti-SOPA memes, Rob Lowe tweeting that Peyton Manning is retiring, and schoolgirls losing their shit over Wikipedia being down.

Two other LOLs to check out is Hank Hill and Kramer listening to some Skrillex. I’m sure you can guess who raves and who rants:

You can’t get a much more epic cross-genre collabo than Skrillex and The Doors. Recently Skrillex remixed and re-imagined the traditional music of The Doors to create “Breakn’ A Sweat”. We now have the official visuals which give us a behind the scenes look at them in the studio and Skrillex’s current live show The Skillrex Cell, which is intensely colorful and impressive looking.
