In many ways this is the antithesis of my understanding of the voodle form which is much less determined, more immediate and casually opportunistic.Steven Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470957702511115115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38653043.post-13539717052031471822007-06-30T12:56:00.000+01:002007-06-30T12:56:00.000+01:00that was quick Sam!that was quick Sam!Steven Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470957702511115115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38653043.post-78815555920116919662007-06-30T12:40:00.000+01:002007-06-30T12:40:00.000+01:00a true concrete urban voodle "celebrating the imme...a true concrete urban voodle "celebrating the immediacy of the everyday". <BR/>it sort of conveys, in the hectic and abrupt cut-up(s), the tensed absurdity of nowadays urban "normality".<BR/>news, re-told in a different way; the particular image becoming a generic visual of an urgency, that unfortunately seem to become a part of the urban chores. Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" sort of had anticipated some of that.SAM RENSEIWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04693688588411438188noreply@blogger.com
