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).
Klaus aspires against all odds to become America's next great action hero. We met him in the previous BBtv episode "Point Break and Heartbreak," in which he revealed his devotion to the great Keanu Reeves; then followed him to swordfighting class. Today we learn that becoming a great action hero isn't all about the fight -- it's about pickup lines, too.
Special thanks to Nick Nardelli and To the Wolves for music in this episode.
Remember those LED signs from the great Boston Mooninite debacle of 2007, in which a street promo campaign for a television show turned into a big security scare? They are in fact fun to make, and not at all deadly -- I spoke with Windell from Evil Mad Science, which sells kits so you can make pegboard signs at home. Here's a related post by Phil Torrone on the MAKE blog.
