Transformation trough mutations stages. Evolution as a function gain is called neomorphic.
Imaginary creatures adapt into an Ecosystem and the transformation of these habitats for these creatures generates a fantastic cycle. The mutation symbolism is part of our experiences in that trajectory, changing places, finding a new spectrum, a new phase, evolving.
Neomorphus is the second movie created for the series of free mini-shorts named Praepostere, the first being "Adiantum pedatum" - made with stop-motion technique with the theme of unusual developments in a morbid visionary.
Droz père (1721-1790) made an elegantly dressed boy doll, "The Young Writer," that sat at a desk, dipped his pen into the inkwell, and wrote out a full page of legible script which he then signed before returning to a position of rest. . .
Bettina Fung is one of the core members of the creative team for Strange Factories. Her website has a wonderful selection of her work, her art presents itself as beautiful half forgotten memories from a fugue like dream.
Bettina has locked herself away and is working on the storyboards for 'Strange Factories'.
You might find some surprises on your visit to her site.
Bettina and I will be collaborating on a graphic novel later this year.
The BFI's most startling and uncategorisable DVD of 2010 reveals what happened when mysterious music makers Mordant Music were asked to re-score an array of 70s and 80s public information films and documentary shorts produced by the Central Office of Information (COI). This piece (one of fourteen) combines images from 'Ideal Homes' (c.1970) with a soundtrack sampled from 'Tackling Priority Estates' (1983).
It’s obvious to anyone who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s that high quality science fiction and fantasy for children and young adults isn’t quite what it used to be.
The cloud Thatcher cast over Britain and the growing impending doom of nuclear war created an atmosphere in which ITV created brave and imaginative programming such as 'Chocky'.
'Chocky' was adapted from a book written by John Wyndham, author of the uniquely English tale of the end of the world by alien plant doom ‘Day of the Triffids'.
John Wyndham remains one of Britain's most celebrated post-apocalyptic science fiction writers.
'Chocky' was the story of an alien consciousness sent to scout for planets to colonise, who inadvertently becomes friends with a young boy called Matthew, manifesting to him as his imaginary friend.
Chocky demonstrated that during periods of turmoil and stress we begin to recreate the world in our minds. Our imaginations cut a hole in the sky and neon narratives flood the land with ecstatic visions that teach and enable us to imagine new reallities, which in turn offer glimpses of hope in desperate times.
I know 'Chocky' played some a part in who I came to be.
How sublime it is to see the map of our imaginations, brightly constructed and landscaped throughout our lives by stories such as Chocky?
FoolishPeople invoke the memory of stories such as 'Chocky' for three reasons: to pay respect to the storytellers of our childhood, to remind us of the forgotten possibilities of youth and to offer us protection as we venture deeper into the narrative.
A writer, possessed by a terrifying fiction hunts for the heart of his story in a pagan landscape, haunted by the infamous hum emitted by a Strange Factory.
Strange Factories is the first feature film produced by FoolishPeople.
1957- Seascale, the North of England. Cirxus; an old English circus lost in the shadows of the smoke stacks of Calder Hall, the world's first commercial nuclear power station.
Athalia the ballerina waits in the ring for Loudon the clown to return with directions to the Black Pool, the mythic site of the Home Sweet Home, the final show of the season. Join her as she begins a bizarre and wondrous search for Loudon through the irradiated secrets of Cirxus, where she must face the macabre atomic menagerie, haunted by circus animals and navigate her way through the maze of strange, hallucinogenic sideshows to the other side of time.
Cirxus defies genre and form and offers a literary experience like no other. A combination of hallucinogenic novel and blueprint to a physical experience.
A rowdy gang of Tracey Emins wrestle half a dozen dazed Andy Warhols to the ground. IT IS THE FUTURE AND ALL FORMS OF ART ARE FREE. Perfect replicas exist of every masterpiece ever created, artworks and ideas are stolen from the mind before they’re even created.
Copyright or ownership is meaningless. FLESH-WORTH is all that matters. Arm yourself with weaponised art and explore the notions of open-source myth. What are intellectual rights worth in a decomposing culture?
