In other news, the G20 con­ver­gence launch went well, drjon snuck off before I could say good­bye, avid­scav­enger gave a talk, and a couple broke up due to polit­ical dif­fer­ences but both seemed to find this quite amus­ing (she said he was too neo-lib­eral, he said she was too Left. Names have been omit­ted to pro­tect the ambi­val­ent). The band towards the end, made up of mem­bers of Trojan Horns found by Alle­gra, was awe­some, reggae ska funk­ster groove. We danced, we boo­gied. I snuck James Geurts’ video work “Micro­cosm” onto the screen, espe­cially for the 4th of July (an egg painted as the Amer­ican flag goes gently around and around in a microwave, inter­rup­ted by static and sub­lim­inal images of tanks until it explodes, leav­ing shattered egg­shell and pulpy egg innards everywhere).
