Dead media and living light
Today on Boing Boing tv, another episode in our ongoing series of experimental animated shorts.
First, regular BBtv contributors monochrom from Austria give us The Void's Foaming Ebb, a hallucinatory retrospective of ancestral media -- from the eight-track to the VCR to long-extinct PDAs -- and a meditation on dead data-forms of the future (created by: Frank Apunkt Schneider, Christoph Sonnleitner, Johannes Grenzfurthner, Stefan Scheder, Roland Gratzer, David Dempsey). German version here.
Next, 198090 by BBtv favorites Peppermelon from Argentina -- a sweet short suggesting new forms of luminous eco-erotica (created by: Fernando Sarmiento & Tomás Garcia).
I'd have liked to have seen more of the Peppermelon animation, if there is more. It reminded me of the animation from "The Universe Song" in Monty Python & The Meaning of Life and parts of Heavy Metal. Was that The Chemical Brothers for the backing music?
Anybody figured out how to make their TiVo download these? Mind doesn't seem to recognize the feed when I type in the URL.
Why does the All-Knowing Cuneiform Tablet have baguettes for arms?
@ Chocolatey Shatner:
For economic reasons.
the song at the end is by Aphex Twin, its Beetles. Off the top of my head its off of the Richard D James album. Either way you should listen to the richard d james album.

I've actually got it already, thanks, just not at immediate access. I couldn't remember what techno god of which I was being reminded.
