The Museum of Extraordinary Anomalies, Volume III

[fjdoreza]

Maybe this was meant to be a showcase of your visual/computer art as the viewer takes a trip through your little museum, thank god I just Shot up some junk so I didn't get all righteous about this vid..As a painter/visual artist it seems like a good way to get your art seen and I just might try it myself although I would be more straightforward and maybe not use such dull ambient music, try tortoise, amon tobin, explosions in the sky etc. you might get a more positive response, if that matters.

[machinemolle]

@fjdoreza No, it wasn't meant as much of anything, except as an experiment using graphics and music. If the complaint is that my music is not as good as that of Amon Tobin or Tortoise, I plead guilty. But there is also the matter of timing, you see. Don't bother to get all righteous; it's merely another video effort tossed onto the vast sea of youtube. It's Borgesian, if that helps. Thanks for your commentary.

[RampantArtist]

this is misleading and i am too sober to watch this. i hate being mislead.

[machinemolle]

@RampantArtist I think you mean "misled." I meant the title to be fairly clearly ironic, and certainly not literal in the sense of a tool catalogue. I posted it for a few friends. Why it took off, I do not know, nor especially care. My friends understood my approach to collage, and to titles, quite well. I am not asking you to buy a product, RampantArtist, nor am I making money from this. It is your choice to watch or not. Seek out literalist titles like "Flowers," "Cars," "Babes," etc.

[RampantArtist]

@machinemolle Yes I misspelled mislead but i have a physical disability that affects my typing. It took off because you put a title on it that was something people wanted to see. If you don't want people to tell you then either change the titles or disable comments. I wish it showed descriptions or a snap of the comments or something... the number of dislikes, anything to let us know this is NOT what we thought. You put up video, people make comments, deal with it.

[machinemolle]

@RampantArtist I do. Thanks for your interest.

[TheBushdoctor68]

I think that the title of the video is misleading for many viewers, hence the hater responses. I have to admit that my first reaction too wasn't nice. Then I kept watching and noticed that the video is nicely put together, has a good ambience and shows good quality pictures. It's just not what I was expecting. I do however like the creator's relaxed attitude towards haters. Keep it up Machinemolle!

[machinemolle]

@TheBushdoctor68 Thanks. The title, as related above, was not intended as a literal description. There are lots of precedents for this in the artistic, literary, and musical worlds.However, I am no longer doing anything quite like this (it was 4 years ago), although the titles are even more opaque -- or at least subject to interpretation. I don't even really have any interest in this video anymore, and would delete it if it weren't for the 13-year-olds scrawling their little vulgarities. NOT you

[Nayseph]

fuck off museum of extraordinary pot smoking

[machinemolle]

@Nayseph Thanks for your thoughtful and witty repsonse.



[cmsclaudio]

Closed gallery o closed brain ?

[machinemolle]

@cmsclaudio Did you mean "or"? I plead guilty or innocent. Or perhaps, "Gulity, o Innocent!" I still can't believe that this is my most popular original video. Why?

[RampantArtist]

@machinemolle because you mislead people into watching it. i am now one of your "popular" statistics and i hated all 10 seconds that i could bear watching. It might be a great video for the right audience, but most of us hate being mislead by titles. Try "Photography for Trippin'"

[machinemolle]

@RampantArtist And here you are again! Misspelled "misled" again. Haven't you anything better to do than obsess over this -- such as creating rampant art? Yes, "Photography for Trippin" is a GREAT TITLE. Uh huh. Misleading, too, I can't help adding.

[alexcondurache]

impressive

[GeorgesVI]

I think this want to be artistic...but fail

[LinkMyBoy]

Each frame of this video would make some Extraordinary TP for by Bunghole.

[isaidmurder]

Really dig the Blue Skull

[leanmachene]

good editing but very missleading, its so easy to get a captive audience on the pretence of " Extraordinary Anomalies"

u would still have got views under the heading exquisit photogaphy!

[DeanoPiano]

Whats so not right with them photos? they have just had a colour change and inverted colours.. that's not strange or an anomaly

[JessiiRawks]

[stuarthass]

I found this a relaxing & intriguing potpourri. And more of the same wouldn't be monotonous to me.

[kernelklaus]

what a peice of trite sheeite

[machinemolle]

Thanks for your feedback.

And it's spelled "piece," but I'm sure you knew that, and the lack of punctuation and creative spelling are purely "stylistic."

[tprhhemm7887]

ill back this. its purely 'stylistic'

[7foot6munchkin]

This is not what I percieved it to be, anomalies? Am I missing something???

[dududam]

[JBOTTSIOWA]

Good video but how is this Extraordinary Anomalies?

[3dayzgracerox]

[satweavers]

Nice montage. You have created some interesting textures with the justoposed images.

[machinemolle]

Thanks. Two years ago! I'll have to try some new videos.

[Hamano17]

Nice. :) I personally liked :25 and :40.

[jenny1dsr]

absolutely gorgeous...breathtaking... how can someone not appreciate this??? if we didnt have art life would boring...simple to me art is like a drug.. makes you see the world differently

[htcsnavybrat]

very unique and intriguing. thank you!

[machinemolle]

And thank you.

[wolfensen]

This is boring

[qwertyXYZ23456]

wolfensen, If it is boring, then why are you watching it?

[NotAgain90]

I'm with qwertyXYZ23456 - if you're bored, don't watch, hit the little "x" at the top right of your screen and do something useful with your time. And if you're watching and care enough to respond then it is definitely NOT boring. For your future comments try to find a more appropriate adjective & try to be amusing - as this video is. Quite amusing in fact.

[itshauntingme]

dumb dumb dumb!

-Juan Luis

[machinemolle]

Thank you for your incisive commentary, and Happy New Year to you, too.

[machinemolle]

Quite so, quite so.

[killerkimmy]

What are we looking at here?

[machinemolle]

Evidently we're looking at controversy, if you scan the comments below.

To be plain, we're looking at a work of imagination compiled from this and that, and scored from synthesizer. I rather liked it, though some did not.

[redhedfreak123]

how were those 'Extraordinary'? most of them were pretty mediocre.

[machinemolle]

Because calling it "The Museum of Mediocre Anomalies" did not sound terribly interesting.

[redhedfreak123]

Well than that title would fit for this video.

[theonewhitstyle]

Wonderful.

And as for the critic---videos and fingerpainting,as a comparison are idiotic to begin with,not to mention...ah,I'm not gonna go mean here....

[machinemolle]

Thank you. We get some amazing people leaving these droplets and smears of wisdom here, don't we?

[MacSing59]

What is this crap? My 7yr old daughter makes this kind of stuff when finger painting!

[machinemolle]

And mine writes more interesting letters.

What can you do?

[hijinxee]

mr. mouse, this whole MOEA series has the most awesome, freaky images! nice collage work, but each one could stand alone, too...mesmerizing...nice work!!

[hijinxee]

i'm assuming that some(?) of these images are posted on fluckr?
