HEAT DOZENS (Architecture of Simmer-toy stove with attitude)

Part 1 of a video poam series about a toy stove with way more attitude than the Easy-bake oven also available in the sixties.

If the Empire toy stove came with warnings and cautions about potential dangers of young children playing with electricity, sticking and jabbing prongs into electrical sockets, I don't recall being told about them

nor do any warning labels remain affixed to the stove, if any were ever there --no trace evidence of sticker

though the toy stove has not been subjected to intense forensic examinations, not even with toy microscopes or imagination.

12 images of an Empire toy stove interact with sound made by an oven door with attitude and given musical structure by Strexx of http://www.youtube.com/Strexaudiolab
and http://www.strexxaudiolab.com.

This segment of HEAT DOZENS (a fifteen minute video poam that may be seen in its entirety at iTunes in the Limited Fork podcast)

places the toy stove in a story of an identity heated by a neurological disorder that "plays with" the nervous system, with the wiring into which identity is plugged

and through visual shifting and juggling

attempts to produce in the simmering
here and there some aesthetic usefulness

--a proxy for purpose of neurological disorder
