Der Lauf Der Dinge (Faster and to the tune of the William Tell Overture)

[AustinDoggie]

It wasn't in 1 take. They cut it at 2:21

Does anyone have any helpful background of the artist goal of this dam thing our teacher made us watch it and now we have a paper to write on it, and its to be called "artificial life". Thank you!

[riddlywalker]

If I find you, I will tie a bottle of solvent to you, attach plystyrene wheels, and launch you at a tyre on a ramp through a stepladder past a burning matress.....you have destroyed the pace of a masterwork, you , oakear, are a complete Wan***.

[DocterCross]

I never saw a Der Lauf Der Dinge till now and all I gotta say is that was a lot of fire for that how did you not get burned while filming it?

[riddlywalker]

@DocterCross -You still haven't seen it! all you have seen is someone with no talent or ideas messing about with

a masterwork by others. please find the original- its pace is part of it's observation of 'the way things go' not this gibbering wreckage......

[strapazin]

Why destroying a masterpiece by speeding it up? Makes no sense at all.

[oakear]

@strapazin 53,000 people would seem to disagree with you....

[saIamander]

@oakear yeah, if you've sat through the real time version a few times this is a welcome way to review.

[oakear]

@saIamander thank you sir. :-)

[alicatinwonderland]

@strapazin I agree :) The original was a work of art. This has taken out the anticipation and relief and I also loved the sounds of sellotape stretching, flames crackling, water sloshing. Also likes mean nothing, read the comments, most people are looking for the original and are having to make do with this.

[MaryStewart]

@strapazin the original is too slow! lol

[strapazin]

@MaryStewart Sure. And "Huckleberry Finn" is too lengthy, "Moby Dick" too impressive, the Mona Lisa too dark. Have a Big Mac.

[BongoPedro]

This is a stupid thing to do. What's your justification for turning it into Tom and Jerry?

[oakear]

@BongoPedro because i could sir. and 59,000 have seen it so far so obviously someone out there likes what I did with it :-)

[TheBlomberFactory]

Is the slow version on Youtube? I can't seem to find it.

 Does the original have music?

[wndndrsn]

@TheBlomberFactory no the original film is to long for you tube, and there is no music.



[TheBlomberFactory]

Is the slow version on Youtube? I can't seem to find it.

[BurcuLoveJonny]

voll lww mann wasist das für ein vidio?? :D

[HRHBoof]

Oakear, your decision to post the 'fast' version was right on. I think it's nice to be able to see the quick version to get the excitement facter satisfied, ya know? Now that I've seen it, I can try to find the 'long' version, and I'll appreciate it more, because I won't be so impatient. Great video....it's a classic on Rube Goldberg machines. Love it!!! Give it a big Thumbs Up!!! :D

[riddlywalker]

@HRHBoof -feel kinda sorry for the girlfriend dude.........

[Inferno29Skipper]

That shows exactly what people doing with this planet. Great video!

[CeccaChap]

hi my names ed and i'm simply at a loss for words as to what happened. its just TOO fast! really quite upset by the way you've condensed it. please take this travesty off of youtube.. thanks.

[oakear]

@CeccaChap well just looking at the likes and dislikes, it seems that most people disagree with you by a ratio of 25:1. I personally prefer the slow version, and if you do too, then watch that one. But denying everyone the fast version because you don't like it is a bit immature don't you think?

[haiviva]

@CeccaChap i'm your opinion. it's simply too fast. you cannot even recognise some of the awsome features because our eyes cannot follow as quickly as it would be necessary. i think it is just not in the sence of fischli/weiss to hurry up the happenings. they do have their reasons that it often takes more than one hour until the end. it's a part of their art.

[Celiecinema1]

3 people were the brave cameramen!

[Lucklarin]

This just might be the most dangerous-looking Rube Goldberg machine I've ever seen. Interested me enough to kill time watching the full version, too.

[AubynStafford]

I understand the desire to condense the piece time-wise, but speeding it up and adding such familiar, almost cliche music completely removes all the poetry from the piece and turns into a spectacle rather than a sad and beautiful observation of the mechanics and physicality of modern existence. Better to break it up into pieces.

[oakear]

@AubynStafford I understand what you mean. I myself do prefer to watch the entire thing at full length. But I also like it this way too, and others seem to feel the same way. At the time of this post, 24,000 people have seen the video, which makes it the second most highly watched Der Lauf Der Dinge video on Youtube. Some people like the artistic version, others prefer this fun, fast, and whimsical version. I believe it's fair to say that the two videos are separate entities.

[bjjwinti]

Absolut genial! My kids love to watch it over and over.

[becuteforme]

What is amazing is the fact that they are Artists* not Physicists!

[willdbrtn]

@becuteforme Why do you put an asterisk after artist?

[becuteforme]

@willdbrtn Because it is the keyword of my sentence

[invaderzimrules132]

That's some serious Tom and Jerry shit right there.

[zerstranser1]

absolut geil Leute....^^

[ThePezter]

this is made of pure awesome. who'd have thought that noxious chemicals and fire could be so much fun!

[manitobatouch]

2:00 nice!

[oakear]

The original "Der Lauf Der Dinge" is 29 minutes long, thus will not fit into one video on Youtube. It is brilliant for those who have 29 minutes to kill. But for everyone else, try my 7 and a half minute long version. It's the entire movie, just played 4 times as fast. And the William Tell Overture was added into the background. You're seeing exactly what you'd see in the original, just faster. and instead of hearing the audio you hear music. Please stop complaining about it being short.:)

[w00per]

were can i find one with orginal speed

[cyyyggnus]

@w00per The original speed video is 29 minutes long....

[cyyyggnus]

@cyyyggnus Go to veoh and search for it there.

[cyyyggnus]

@cyyyggnus  The new youtube won't allow me to post the link....I keep getting an error message.

[cyyyggnus]

@cyyyggnus ...so if you have to know and can't find it on your own, send me a message on youtube, and maybe I can send you the link there.

[cBrugge]

bin dagegen.

[BallooInTheHouse]

the speeding up kinda ruins it but I still love it

[erscott13]

5 stars!  Love it! Elisa

[cushycrux]

TOO FAST!
