Beginning the week after Sept. 11, 2001, and working through the start of the Iraq War in 2003, Canadian live-video artist/animator Pierre Hebert (pretend there's an accent-acute in there) and American composer/programmer extraordinaire Bob Ostertag developed and refined this incredible bit of live video/audio interaction that you might like.

I can only find youtube links for a couple of minutes of it, but the full-length "movie"--50 mins, I think--is available on DVD and something called a "torment." I may have that last word wrong.

You're seeing live-action video and real-time sound processed on the fly. It adds up to some sly political commentary, but by that point it almost doesn't matter.

I think it's fucking cool.

Here's Part 1

And Part 2
 
Yes, I know you think this is a politics thread.

Actually, I guess it is. But not the kind you think.

Point is, watch the clips. You'll dig them.
 
I watched the first one, very cool.

A little too trippy for me at-the-mo, I'm almost kinda falling asleep and it hypnotized me.
 
I did not contain American flags, socialism taunts and birth certificate stuff.

That, and they are Canadian.

Commie asshat.
