Andrew — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 19:38:31 +0000

A cursed relic of our revolting age, Male Tears remixes vintage comic book imagery into a verbo-visual slurry for your shame or amusement: forty pages of thwarted privilege, humiliating failure and unchecked emotions exploding into shocking acts of violence.

The Supercruft Induction Terminal allows the viewer to search for uncanny collisions of meaning within a hypnotic stream of video detritus. Using a custom remote control device the viewer generates abstract compositions out of found footage by exploiting the technical limitations of digital video. At the press of a button, compositions are printed onto photo paper. Several times a day all compositions are automatically posted to Science-Family-Government.com.
