Poetry of the Spectacle

[avisualfeel]

...I just want to pay...to exist!!!

[KoekaZ]

Impressive...

And true, unfortunately.

Nice work!

[Milicroque]

La propiedad me ha hecho cruel. Siempre que compraba una gallina la ataba dos días a un árbol, para imponerle mi

domicilio, destruyendo en su memoria frágil el amor a su antigua residencia. Remendé el cerco de mi patio, con el fin de evitar la evasión de mis aves, y la invasión de zorros de cuatro y dos pies. Me aislé, fortifiqué la frontera, tracé una línea diabólica entre mi prójimo y yo.

[Milicroque]

Dividí la humanidad en dos categorías; yo, dueño de mis gallinas, y los demás que podían quitármelas. Definí el delito. El mundo se llena para mí de presuntos ladrones, y por primera vez lancé del otro lado del cerco una mirada hostil.

[Milicroque]

Mi gallo era demasiado joven. El gallo del vecino saltó el cerco y se puso a hacer la corte a mis gallinas y a amargar la existencia de mi gallo. Despedí a pedradas el intruso, pero saltaban el cerco y aovaron en casa del vecino. Reclamé los huevos y mi vecino me aborreció. Desde entonces vi su cara sobre el cerco, su mirada inquisidora y hostil, idéntica a la mía.

[Milicroque]

Sus pollos pasaban el cerco, y devoraban el maíz mojado que consagraba a los míos. Los pollos ajenos me parecieron criminales. Los perseguí, y cegado por la rabia maté uno. El vecino atribuyó una importancia enorme al atentado. No quiso aceptar una indemnización pecuniaria. Retiró gravemente el cadáver de su pollo, y en lugar de comérselo, se lo mostró a sus amigos, con lo cual empezó a circular por el pueblo la leyenda de mi brutalidad imperialista.

[Milicroque]

Tuve que reforzar el cerco, aumentar la vigilancia, elevar, en una palabra, mi presupuesto de guerra. El vecino dispone de un perro decidido a todo; yo pienso adquirir un revólver.

¿Dónde está mi vieja tranquilidad? Estoy envenenado por la desconfianza y por el odio. El espíritu del mal se ha apoderado de mí.

Antes era un hombre. Ahora soy un propietario...

[polite777]

your so correct Im 30 years old and now Im realizing I need money for too many things Im living off the system even more. happy without money is very hard to adjust to almost went suicidal doing it.

[leftysergeant]

Absolutely stunning. I think the visuals are greeat presented in such a muddled, unreal form.

Rather like our humanity, filtered through the layers of material dreck that we heap on top of ourselves.

[pennilesscripple]

excellent

thank you

[OttOmOlOtOv]

Exactly!

[ontheraido]

Well done!

Having only recently become aware of the Situationists and how important they are, it's heartening that their practice is alive today in projects like this. . .

. . . Now we just need to find ways of taking it to real action.

[pennilesscripple]

this video is real action....

[clennon84]

Guy Debourd baby!!!

[isidormarcel]

You have even to pay to allow you to die

[OttOmOlOtOv]

True...and even sadder!

[DaVaulkster]

cool shit

[electricrussell]

Did Radiohead get this idea from you? or the other way round?

[OttOmOlOtOv]

I don't know what you are refering to. So maybe Radiohead got it from me. But more likely, the two things are independent and possibly mutually influenced by similar things.

[votya23]

I think electricrussell is referring to the "fitter, happier, more productive" track--im not sure of the exact title--on radiohead's OK COMPUTER album. Nice job on the video.

[samscydia]

@electricrussell

Radiohead most likely got it from Guy Debord.

[HeltekMedia]

@samscydia yep

[Berardinonize]

Money = The Matrix

[spittingcheerios]

Jesus is the image of God, unseparated. Human beings were created in the image of God. In rebellion the image was defaced. The spectacle defaces. Jesus came to restore the defaced image in us. Jesus is the image of restored humanity. Personality is given true expression in the transformation of our selves in his image. Jesus is the solution to our disfigured humanity. When our selves are conformed to the image of the spectacle personhood is lost. In Christ personhood is salvaged and restored.

[spittingcheerios]

i love the situationists. i love the critique. i also love the solutions. read kierkegaard. read jacques ellul. read thomas merton. read the bible. apply when necessary. it is always necessary.

[delbubba]

[aaron18711]

[liquidrunning]

It's getting harder to live.

[JDBS99]

Interesting. 4/5

[yecido]

[taxamo]

Hmmm. Hearts in the right place i'm sure!

[adgoodge]

enjoy your immortality live forever nobody is alive, struggle to defeat by nothing buy nothing lie back get a job earn money enjoy it, change your mind rebel subvert contradict, lose yourself, life is what you..., a game, play within the stretch the break the rules stick to your guns do not use guns stop start go collect £$200 be happy, do something.

The situationists provide another way of thinking about work/life/commodity, they are/were/could be, a bit up their own arse tho'.

[lhook]

I really like this particular film of yours.

It is, in fact, International Situationiste.

I think, nowadays, that we have to go deeper, far deeper...and yet I do not know how...

[yupper99]

I've been reading Johnathan Beller's "Cinematic mode of production." Facinated by his stuff around the "attention economy."
