You can buy their DVD for $50 from Dynomighty, on east 10th st, or, like Alain Ducasse did for Mix, you can commission a custom version. They're also planning "complete never seen night programmes to TV stations, financed by sponsors from the luxury industry."
Goodlooking execution? Yes. Growth market? Definitely. But new idea? Not at all. The duo's dsytopian main mission sounds familiar: "Our main mission is to collect pictures of life on earth today, in case humans would need them later..." It's the glass-half-full, luxury industry-chasing version of "Life out of balance," the subtitle/translation of Godfrey Reggio's 100% narrative free classic Koyaanisqatsi.
[Coincidentally, the last time I saw Koyaanisqatsi, it was wall candy on a flatscreen for a party in a bigtime art collector's Central Park West apartment. It had a bigger audience than anything else, and at $25, it was easily the cheapest work there, by a factor of several thousand.]
Another wall candy video option: "Want to throw a great party? Put this on!"FunviewTV's 20-scene DVD includes a fish tank, a fireplace, falling snow, falling leaves, disco lights, and a microwaving pizza.
And just to loop the Whitney back in: there's new-to-you Biennial star Eve Sussman's debut video show in 1997. The artist labored for nearly a month to construct a 3-story scaffold/ramp in an airshaft, and then trained video cameras on the pigeon nests hidden within. Wall sized projections of oblivious pigeons filled the gallery. Congratulations, Eve, on your overnight success.
