Goodbye for now ye old blogger.

I have decided to try out Tumblr for day-to-day blogging. Please follow me there.

Thank you and goodnight.

The theremin was originally the product of Russian government-sponsored research into proximity sensors during the Russian civil war. Lenin was so impressed with the device that he began taking lessons in playing it. He sent Theremin on a trip around the world to demonstrate the latest Soviet technology: the invention of electronic music.

The theremin is controlled without discernible physical contact from the player. It is named after its Russian inventor,

Professor Léon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928.

Always an echo from my heart.

THE CHELSEA HOTEL CLOSED TODAY.

Hopefully, this beautiful building, filled with an energy unmatched by any other, will re-open with only minor modifications to plumbing and electricity -- though I was fond, in a way, of how we always had to go out in the hall and pull a breaker.

i have a new website.

There is an article up on MUBI about the video I directed for the Memory Tapes / CREEP remix of "Green Knight". I was interviewed by Kendah El-Ali. She has written for publications such as The Independent, Filter Magazine, BlackBook Magazine and SOMA Magazine.

In the interview I discuss the thought process behind the imagery, working with an amazing senior producer: John Durgee, and with the beautiful Mari Kussman.

The music video premiered on Stereogum July 7th.

VIDEO PREMIERE OF MEMORY TAPES "GREEN KNIGHT" (CREEP REMIX)

AT 18 WOOSTER WITH ALIFE, G-Shock & KRINK

Last night at 18 Wooster (the old Deitch gallery) CREEP did an awesome live performance, complete with cellists and projections. It was the premiere of music videos by both Thalia Mavros and myself. The whole gallery was packed with such amazing artists, including Ryan Mcginness, who gave me my very first job in New York City. Pretty amazing to see him watching my work almost nine years later.

"TAO LIN'S CAMP" - haha

"Creep is an electronic group based in Brooklyn, New York. Their first single ‘Days’ has recently been signed to Young Turks Records, and a remix version has already been put out by Romy of the band The XX (Young Turks Records as well). Lauren Flax has been a DJ for a decade, here is an interview I did with her over at the Brooklyn Rail in 2009 in which she talks about her single ‘You’ve Changed’, featuring Australia’s Sia. Her musical partner Lauren Dillard, (known to some as Lauren Chillhard) was a bit of a scene queen back in the day in the city we both grew up in.

The Laurens sat down via email to do this interview for 3:AM, and in doing so, we discovered some 3:AM connections. Small world. (Note the Ellen Frances connection the ladies mention, of (3:AM’s former poetry editor) Tao Lin’s camp, for example.) Likeminded people, I think is the answer to the interesting coincidence. As the Laurens mention later, maybe metaphysics, who knows? ..." [ 3:AM MAGAZINE ]

"In a stable position without solid physical contact."

Dreams in which I am suspended are my most memorable.from being a little girl. I rarely have floating dreams as a woman.

I am shooting a friend and great talent very soon. I asked her if I could do some shots of levitation. Just because. Everyone should get to levitate. Tonight I tested lighting on myself.

All I listened to all night long was Valentine's Day from Za Bakdaz.

Maybe you can hear why...
*Za Bakdaz is an uncompleted new wave opera German countertenor Klaus Nomi

was working on up until his death in 1983 from AIDS*

Perhaps this is why I have started getting more hits from Italy?

... Nei suoi lavori tante fonti d’ispirazione ma nessun signifi cato nascosto: impera il puro piacere della lettura, quella sensazione che solo un libro in carta e ossa sa regalare e che Jones sente di provare quando scrive. Perché Shane, che adora leggere (sul comodino ora ha Ghost dell’argentino Aira, ambientato tra le impalcature di un palazzo in costruzione infestato dai fantasmi), tra e-reader e la tradizionale carta non ha dubbi: “Paper! Io voglio toccare la costa del libro, guardarmi la copertina, sentire lo spessore della pagina, criticarne il design”. Tuttavia usa Twitter e tiene un blog (http://ivomiticecubessowhat.tumblr.com) dove lancia post su qualsiasi cosa gli venga in mente; e quando scrive (di notte e nel week-end) sta alla scrivania o sul divano con il rischio di addormentarsi facilmente, raramente sceglie la biblioteca ma mai il bar: “Se non fossi uno scrittore – sorride – sarei uno che mangia!”.

I diritti per girare il fi lm di Light Boxes sono ora nelle mani di Ellen Frances, artista, dj e blogger newyorchese di culto, nel frattempo Shane è alle prese con il nuovo libro Daniel fi ghts an hurricane, su cui vige il silenzio. Ci è concesso di sapere solo che esce per Penguin nel 2012, guarda caso in febbraio. Forse, il suo mese fortunato.

Also this, which is inaccurate but kind of funny: Cautivado por Las cajas de luz, el director de vídeos musicales y cine Spike Jonze (Donde viven los monstruos, Cómo ser John Malkovich) ha comprado la opción de hacer una película sobre el cuento. Jones decidirá si le da los derechos a él o a Ellen Frances, encargada del clip de presentación del libro.

I received a nice message from Mike Bushnell. In the message he wrote this sentence:

"You are a gentle world slayer."

It is perhaps the most radical compliment I have ever been given.

He is also sending me a review copy of his new book Traumahawk. I can't really comment on it - being that I have not actually read it yet, but I love the title.

(it also recently came to mind that this is the same person who had an afro and was apart of the 'jaguar uprising' -- an internet group that made some kind of weird parody videos in 2007. They made one about me, but I honestly cannot remember what on earth the point of it was.)
