Thinking about it, the overall theme of Leckey's work seems to be of a visceral nature: 1. Felt in the internal organs of the body. 2. Not intellectual: instinctive, unreasoning. That's not to say there is not deep ideas behind the work just that Leckey seems to be guided primarily by instinct and life experience when making work. As a viewer you don't have to understand it to like it. I may be wrong but that's just my opinion.
Not really sure what I've just watched - According to the other comments it's an art piece, but I'm having real trouble working out a year for the footage, or what's going on for the most part. Currently on my third watch through, which would lend credence to the idea that this video does it's job, I guess.
Thoroughly enjoying looking for clues and such though, it's really well put together.
they have this in the turner contempory at margate. it's my favorite thing there. i like the way anyone over the age of 45 marches out in disgust once it gets to the acid house (the good bits).
End... With rave death... Alot of shots of strobe lighted yelling... SCHOOSH... People on drugs are always funny... And make sure to give them a stupid repeated soundtrack for them to dance to.... CLOUDS... Silence...SILENCE.
@hideouschud I thought the opposite - this video seems to be a celebration of the past that the internet is killing off. Go see it at the Manchester City Gallery and you will think differently. Its the dogs bollocks.

2. A pretentious attempt at...???
3. Nice that you got footage of the 70s and made it creepy...KUDOS.
4. HA HA... Funny.
5. Sweaty...
6. ??? Embarrassing footage of people getting down.
7. Stalker
8. The past really sucks and it is depressing.
9. Holigans walking in the 80"s... suck.
10. Club... They behave and dance like this then... They will dance like that now.
