Through Common Language:
Her music is on the radio from time to time. She speaks to different djs around the country. Her music videos are kinda awesome. They speak to a generation of cheap drugs, cheap beer, and innovations in mass media.
Her videos connect to an absurdist character of what the media thinks young people do. Some of her early work comes across as a sincere attempt to connect to the american youth. She uses images of college young America. Imagine walking through a large university parking lot during a very strange and drug laden rush week. There are fresh juxtapositions of young folks dancing in the streets and acting in stereotypical fashons. These fashions are highlighted with repetion withe in editing and audible recognition of mood. These spontaneous bursts of activity comes across to me from a very informed point of view. Formalist rules are often seen as obstacles to either be broken, respected, or often by students, even twisted in the name of art. I believe that she creates a reflection of the fears, hopes, and strange moments that are being lived right down the street, or across the hall, down the stare well, behind that door that you never check.
Eventually we discover our own rhythms and we decide who we are for a while. Always reinventing to survive, thrive, and even collaborate. Well, I guess thats all of my commentary.
