I was filmed in two scenes. I exited the Mars Cafe and gave down and out actor Ethan Cohn a dollar. This was cut from the final film. I was an extra at the High Life bar scene. My glasses were taken off. I am not sure you can see me in the background sitting at a table with another guy. Someday I will confirm again. Friend Ian Miller was a production assistant on the film.

I attended this lecture and asked Tyson to answer questions that I created. I then combined that with a Dawkins exam.

Only one festival played this and it was a small one.

The thirteen-part film installation Manifesto, produced by Berlin-based film and video artist Julian Rosefeldt, is an homage to the explosive poetic power of key artist manifestos from the last hundred years. Australian actor Cate Blanchett plays thirteen different characters who navigate everyday situations. Here are my photos and some of the manifesto text. You can watch each video at https://www.julianrosefeldt.com/film-and-video-works/manifesto-_2014-2015/

I was asked to videotape the event at the Hoyt Sherman. I had two Panasonic HVX-2000A cameras and had my actor run the static two shot camera on the main floor. I ran the panning camera on the balcony. I also went to the house party and Dawkins was a bit of an ass to me. I was initially to be paid but wasn't. Not sure if I paid my camera guy. I did have Dawkins answer my question in his book.

Need to add photos and explanation

I have always been a purger of stuff. But throwing away my art hurts me the most. I have tossed out art, photographs, and negatives. I have thrown out mementos like bike ride patches, bike medals and purchases from overseas, like a Lomo camera kit purchased in Melbourne. I had over 40 film festival catalogs, threw them out, got them all back, threw them out and have about 1/2 now. I don't have my first anything. It makes me sad and I don't do it any more. I am always trying to locate these items or try to recreate it.

In summer 2006, Sheryl Oring staged a cross-country tour of "The Birthday Project." For this work, Oring wore a 1960s party dress and set up a portable "birthday party" in parks and flea markets. As people passed by, she invited them to send cards to the President for his 60th birthday. Using a manual typewriter, she typed their thoughts onto the card. With this project, Oring offered people across a broad spectrum of society a chance to extend very personal wishes to the President on this landmark birthday, thereby painting an intimate portrait of American views on the presidency halfway through his second term in office.

A St. Louis radio station ran a "Pop Art for Pop Mart" contest for U2 tickets. I submitted several items in a see through poster holder. I won tickets and took my then girlfriend to the show. I threw away all of the art entries. I recreated two of the submissions at the bottom of the page. One was a drawing of Max Beckman's woodcut portrait. Maybe I thought they would think it was Bono. I also created a monkey to man thing from U2's own designers. Take a look at the videos of the show from Mexico. The opening is similar to a prize fighter entering the ring.
