Ripperlog (2003)

"I told u I was hardcore." - Brandon Vedas

Live reenactment of Brandon Vedas' 'online' death that occured in a chatroom. Brandon, nicknamed 'ripper', was joking about drugs and actually killed himself. Those online had no idea, and were joking the whole time.

Seen only a few times, video installation from 2003.

thanks for the comments, i think what this was meant to do was to dramatically 'over-act' a textual death. people act in all sorts of ways when they are witnessing someone die. The fact that there is an emotionless chatlog about this guy 'ripper' dying to me was interesting, and i wanted to see what would happen if it were reenacted line-by-line with real actors. Whether you like the re-enactment or not isn't the point - the point is to take this document and dramatize it. thanks for watching.

Yea well I am Cary Gray the infamous Smoke2k...I say get this shit off the internet. Your not even making any money off of it for Christ Sake. I was a dumb kid and did not realize he was that easily influenced by me. And fuck John Walsh he dramatized this shit for fun and profit and did not even pay me. I wish I would have talked longer with Sixty Minutes producer instead of partying with that assistant Def Jam producer. Fuck It I guess I will never get to be a politician but destroy this.

wtf is this shit

I knew Brandon Vedas personally, I helped him throw a rave called FLUD. We grew mushrooms together, and built a bong out of PVC piping that no one, I mean NO ONE could have cleared, even peaking on an acid trip. We once smuggled a shitload of various pills and special K back from mexico in the A/C ducts of my pickup. He always did things to the extreme. He even wrapped his roommates truck around a light pole driving on 11 pills of MDMA. That should have been his wake up call but it wasn't. RIP

Its pretty sad to see how no one tried to intervene more. Brandon shouldve known better but klonopin makes you feel REALLY drunk like and you make dumb decisions. They shoulda got more info outa him before
