hehe, nice slow dawning mbresciani :)
originally it was just going to be a still image, but I couldn't resist a little animation in there.
Awesome ! i love the story !
A cinematic masterpiece, that quietly, but profoundly, reflects on the homogenizing effect of culture on individuality reducing co-opted members into seemingly little more than coerced cattle for cultures eventual slaughter. Underneath the underlying tone of pessimism though is the surprising realization that all is not as it seems. It is not all blue as first appearences would have us believe, but a subvesive shift along the spectrum towards teal, as technology (represented by the steers polygonated representation) deconstructs our understanding of a seemingly unexamined life, replacing it with a surprising, but concise polemic on the brief nature of existence as witnessed by the existential metaphor of the film's brief duration of 51 seconds, clearly meant to demonstrate that life begins and ends in under a metaphorical minute, flashing by far more briefly than the stories we expect have led us to believe it will. Accordingly Steers of Teal, not only playfully deconstructs our understanding on labels, names, culture and identity, but also of our shared mortality and existence as well, making it into not only a Warholian dadaist love note towards pop culture reference, but also a perception shifting reframing worthy of Croenenberg or Ang Lee. I was deeply moved by Steers of Teel's reconstruction of post modernist remix culture and it's exposition of culture and identity in a post modernist world, that can no longer be conveyed by linguistics, and yet is paradoxically framed as such both in it's inception and conclusion. This hints deeply at how, despite our attempts to understand the universe, that life, and the nature of reality itself, ultimately both begins and ends in a paradox, that science and philosophy may ever more be at a loss to explain to our full satisfaction. Will they ever come to a balance that is harmonious and fulfilling? We never discover this in the work, leaving the viewer to inwardly reflect narratives of self, place, time and identity.
Two (metaphorical) thumbs up.
@blendiac: you totally get me!!! mind if I use that quote in a poster?
All my comments are Creative Commons (comments?) licensed, although I'm tempted to make this one "ND" so the entire thing needs so be used... but I wouldn't be that cruel! So go for it! Nice to know film school theory units weren't wasted on me, after all! :D
It's also got a great beat that you can dance to! Doof! Doof! Doof!
oh my goodness! xD that's great! When it first came out i kept calling it that by accident
Awesome... I so want an orange t-shirt with a teal steer now!
