He's got an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 160G hard drive, a big fat tail, and a mission to protect the forest and all critterdom from destruction. On today's episode of Boing Boing tv, we learn more about the troubled origins of Compubeaver, a most unlikely woodland superhero. In part two of today's episode, the taxidermied fighter of evil floats high and free above Silicon Valley, the land that gave him guts.

In today's Boing Boing tv, Xeni visits Machine Project in LA to check out artist Brody Condon's piece "Performance Modification," in which....

10 performers outfitted in medieval/space/fantasy armor re-create Bruce Nauman’s 1973 work “Tony Sinking into the Floor, Face Up and Face Down”. Performed in slow motion and combined with movements based on computer game death animations, this piece is accompanied by a high volume binaural beats reputed to induce out of body experiences.

Condon has a history of work involving computer game modification, and performance events with medieval re-enactment and fantasy live action role playing games.

In part two, an impressionistic montage of iPhone snapshots taken among those living, slow-mo dead.

Klaus Pierre, a French/German actor, aspires against all odds to become America's next great action hero. We met Klaus in the previous BBtv episode "Point Break and Heartbreak," in which he revealed his devotion to the great Keanu Reeves; today, Klaus studies broadsword combat, in hopes of conquering the RenFaire circuit and moving every zig for great justice. But breaking through to true action hero stardom requires endurance, dedication, talent, and Keanu Reeves underwear -- guess which one out of four Klaus actually has.

Special thanks to Nick Nardelli and To the Wolves for their song, "Bloodwings," in this episode. Their rockin'/scary-ass album, "Death, and the Company You Keep" came out a few months ago, and may lead to involuntary Satanic hand-gestures in unsuspecting listeners.

Thanks also to the sword school Academy of Arms.
