Public Execution “Faster and faster... until after a while you wouldn't feel anything; and then your body would just burst into FIRE. And the angel's wouldn't help you, 'cause they've all gone away...”
Through my subjective stretch of the imagination, I might not appeal to most people opinions, but to me, this masterpiece is so beautifully arranged in the maze of an abstract that it aroused every follicle and left me in amazement that how could someone bring this art in themselves, as grotesque as they said it might be, through my knowledge its the purest art ever created, for me, it's not grotesque but a pure celestial chaotic cosmos dancing around that celluloid of his
idk why but i listened to it with the beatle's revolution 9, somehow it just worked. there was this strange feeling of completion with it, maybe if i listen with another song i can get a different feel to it

Does anyone else's computer make the image stretch and glitch out when the mouse disappears on fullscreen? I hope I'm not the only one because it looks really cool this way too
+Tristan Johnson Why? There are plenty of lectures, lecture notes, books, academic peer-reviewed articles, textbooks, interviews, documentaries, and entire film classes that cover the technical practice, context, and legacy of Brakhage and his influences. Find out for yourself. Do you honestly expect to immediately understand every art practice that took years to a lifetime of painstaking work to develop? The artist puts in effort, why shouldn't the audience? You wouldn't hear a language you don't know and call it gibberish. Then again, you might... If we're open-minded enough, we can at the very least enjoy finding the more obvious cadences and gestures.
There are a lot of people who listen to Coltrane and think it's no better than listening to someone strangle a cat. You are allowed to have your subjective response to this. That's how art functions as art. But I can't answer any 'why' questions for you.
