On day 2 we were asked to do some background research on new media performances that we might have seen and that had provoked in us mixed feelings of repulsion and curiosity. La Fura dels Baus was my choice: Violent body manipulation and helplessness freak me. Although I had never seen La Fura perform live, I have heard much about them! I showed some videos of the Naumon project from their website.
Other choices by fellow students included:
- Orlan - undergoing plastic surgery as a performance
- Cremaster - psicadelic, surreal films
- Ymim - unusual tatoos
- Markus Copper - this guy is said to have cut his hand off with a chain-saw and cooked it in the microwave so that it wouldn't be sewed back. We didn't see that one, luckily.

Hi :) I have watched the Cremaster 3 and perhaps this one is exclusive since it superimposes a celtic story. CREMASTER 3 (2002) is set in New York City and narrates the construction of the Chrysler Building. It generates different dimentions of the story's interpretation and generates (spiritual) transcendence.
Most of all your blog is interesting and I will keep adding comments to it every now and then, have a good time. Laila :)
