The Museum of Extraordinary Anomalies, Volume III

The closed gallery. Quite consistent with the prior entries in the series, only longer, and with a bit more of an air of a thematic rummage sale to it.

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.

@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.

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

[italiano674]

extraordinary?

[machinemolle]

@RampantArtist I do. Thanks for your interest.

[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 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.

[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

[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 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'"

[RampantArtist]

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

[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!
