I keep meaning to write a detaled overview of the biennial. I did take detailed notes durring my several (free friday) viewings, I just can't really deal with trying to extrapolate some greater meaning, or even short pithy notes on the pieces i dug (de beers, AZ-West, AVAF, Chloe Piane, Opie (ps- see her on The L Word?) and others I can't recall). Luckily, for me, tom moody has a bunch of impressions that I, for the most part, agree with, or are at least a good starting off point.
I for one really dug the, way over the top, Assume Vivid Astro Focus' "post-psychedelic" roomthing. I am not really sure why but there seems to be a lot-of this post-psychedelic (although I think in a lot of ways it is really post-post, reflecting more on early 90's rave culture than the merry pranksters and that 60's ilk). I am not sure where this longing, this use of lots of color and disorienting sense comes from or is going, I have my ideas (reaction to- war/"clean" digital art", etc.) but I am not really ready to enumerate them yet, to myself or others.
