Ernesto Neto's Coconut Manifesto

What's the bigger news, that the traditional shell-and-machete-based distribution system of beachfront coconut water is threatened by industrial-scale canned product? Or that Ernesto Neto is releasing catchy video manifestos for the cause on YouTube?

There's also an Ernesto Neto listed as direção--along with Celso Vilalba and Tiago Gil--and as direção de fotografia [along with Vilalba] on this music video for "Ultimos dias," by Brazilian heavy metal band called Kiara Rocks. What else is Ernesto hiding there on YouTube, hmm?
