Zombie labour: Send me your mailing address if you are into collectors editions

In response to the paper I wrote:

How have I come to learn, love, then reject, and now use ‘Free Labour’ (aka. You Tube) to tap into the media generation’s collective intelligence in my own practice?

I am shooting a new video piece that is inspired by our class and fearless leader . . .Prof. Chun.


This video takes place in Houston, TX and is tentatively titled Labour. It is about a woman who comes home from work every day and does the same thing. Her house is filled with red balloons floating on the ceiling and on the floor. In this house she paints images of post-apocalyptic scenes that are neon, vibrating, sparkling, and fantastic. She is in constant labour until she falls asleep. The work must be done, shown, and shared. The viewer senses the acceleration of time towards something. Maybe a deadline? The pace increases and this is her routine till one day she finds a zombie right before she goes to bed in her apartment. The zombie makes gestures with paint. She focuses the zombie’s gestures on her work and channels the activity. This then becomes her routine. She comes home from work, she works, she finds the zombie in the apartment, the zombie gestures, she channels, and she goes to sleep. In the morning the paintings are done. One day the balloons begin to pop and a man in a suit appears at the door he represents the zombie in legal action against her.

My intention is to dedicate the video to our class and share collector editions of the work with those that provide mailing addresses in January once I can finish postproductions. I will send links to all once the website is done.
