Lacanian Funk

"The geometral dimensions allows us to glimpse how the subject who concerns us is caught, manipulated, captured, in the field of vision."

"The correlative of the picture, situated outside the point of gaze, opaque, is the screen."



Now I'll make an attempt at praxis.  Below I've included a film I made last night with Victor Florence, a collaborator of mine.  This production is an attempt to depict the rebooted cyberflaneur.  Here the digital saunterer has fallen into internet's kailedoscopic streets, where he'll try to be the "perfect flaneur," who, according to Baudelaire, must receive "an immense joy to set up house in the heart of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world." 


The sequence concludes with the cyberflaneur seeing himself seeing himself, I guess, and leaving the internet.
