The Memoirs of a Self-confessed Surrealist

An art documentary on Google Video.
A poser narrates his trip to an art show.
The video was good, but the audio was cheap and trite.
check out: the actual art pieces shown.
I guess you can be a poser at anything. The violin kicking scene really pissed me off. besides that, the whole thing was shit anyway.

The Reproduction Cycle of Martian Pinworm

An art piece on Google Video.

The audio was as strange and funny as the video.

This is absolutely awesome. Some of the craziest animation I have ever seen.

Biology, Psychology -Brain Story-

A BBC documentary on Google video.
Pseudo-scientists present functions of the human brain along side examples of people in which these functions have been damaged.
The video had a standard google video amount of pixelation and was late compared to the sound. Some of the sound distorted due to volume level differences.
During 6 45 minute parts, there was a lot of talk, but very little actual information. This series seemed to be focused around the presentation of negative stimuli. The woman with one arm was disturbing, there were scenes of old people in swim suits for absolutely no reason and the child singing "twinkle twinkle little star" really got on my nerves. Probably not the best thing to watch.

paganini's daemon: a most enduring legend

a music documentary on google video
the life of paganini is examined by the documenteurs.
the video was mostly still shots of drawings and old advertisements. at some points, violin performances were presented. the violinist pictured was obviously playing the music.
check out: 1 picture in particular of a devil with a violin sitting on the side of a bed.
I thought it was pretty cool. it made me want to pick up my instrument.
