Flooded McDonald's by Superflex

Seems like I have missed that wonderful artpiece by the superflex collective which had been screened during January and February 2009 at South London Gallery. More Info on the project website.

"Flooded McDonald's is a film work in which a convincing life-size replica of the interior of a McDonald's burger bar, without any customers or staff present, gradually floods with water. Furniture is lifted up by the water, trays of food and drinks start to float around, electrics short circuit and eventually the space becomes completely submerged." Superflex

Glory At Sea

I have seen this awesome short film now about 5 times and i am still overwhelmed by it: Glory at Sea, conceived and executed by the youthful Court 13 collective who is also responsible for the award-winning short Death to the Tinman or Chairlift's "Evident Utensil" datamoshed videoclip.

"While the film is first and foremost about New Orleans, celebrating the undying spirit of that city and its people, it also succeeds as a universally uplifting tale about humanity on a grander scale. Glory at Sea celebrates hope and community and love in a world that is cruel and indifferent. To survive we must all stick together, we must love one another, we must believe. Without those grand human forces at work, we’ll never make it to the bottom of the sea to hug our loved ones once again." Michael Tully
