Description: Call It Sleep is the first visual work produced in the United States which makes use of the situationist technique of detournement - the devaluation and reuse of present and past cultural production to form a superior theoretical and practical unity. This is not as good as "The Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord, but still has many important points from the american perspective. it is a VHS rip, a little poor quality, but still. Here it is. Enjoy... |

| fastmailfm ::: Favorites 2007-09-22 02:06:48 Th point of life in this society is to try to acquire a position sheltered from that blowback. Failing this-as must be the case-the fallback position is just self distraction, "culture" consumer life, "love" etc. But notice this-everywhere in tis film you see the distribution or consumption-where is the production? Non of this can exist without petroleum, mining, logging assembly etc. __________________________________________________ | |
| fastmailfm ::: Favorites 2007-09-22 02:01:55 This is actually kind of bad. It makes the spectacle sound so mysterious, even as it's trying to demystify it. So it comes across with a tone of conspiracy or even religious evil. In fact it is just the product of all our activity that we do everyday-which is determined by the economy and politics instead of human need and joy-combined into force blows up in our face. __________________________________________________ | |

| exobscura ::: Favorites 2007-05-21 05:23:04 This is very intelligent. "A perpetually schizoid state... this is daily life." The only analysis of modern westernised society that will last irrefutably. (You only have to look at every anti-social artefact exploited as "humour" to realise how low we are as a "civil"isation.) __________________________________________________ | |
