Videodrome / vizzbattle 2009

Smearballs is participating in a live video battle on Saturday April 4th at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. We plan on winning the battle by means of slaying the competition.Smearballs Artist statement:

___Utilizing time-based visual media, Smearballs plans to explore the inner relationship between humanity's spiritual ancestry and the collective intellectual dexterity that is responsible for the undeniable duality that exists within the intersections of digital and physical culture in a world where we consciously create the unconscious through the contextualization and appropriation of time-based visual media. This relationship will be realized through a series of visual interpretations designed to stimulate the viewer's perception of reality in order to embrace the inevitability of cultural intermingling by hybridizing archetypal subject matter . Employing traditional and contemporary processes, Smearballs will test the limits of visual and lingual structures in order to demystify established cultural constructs and the significant components of the inherent beauty that shapes our environment. Furthermore Smearballs will expose apparent incongruities within the human experience through a display of interpersonal interactions, manipulating the boundaries of subjective perception. Or maybe I'll put a goddamn party hat on an asshole i saw on tv and hit him in the face with a green screened two by four.
