This beast of a live talk show is now embalmed on YouTube for all interested parties to witness, both now and into the future. I think I did an ok job as a co-host but I am not game enough to watch the whole show again just yet. Shout outs to Sina and Harry Merry.

On December 9 I will leave Melbourne to begin a year at the Rijksakademie (or longer, depending on the funding situation in Holland).
Four weeks to have lasagna at Pellegrinis, float in the ocean at Point Lonsdale, have a beer with Marcos, paint mum’s fence, visit Sam Bear for socks and survival gear, eat stretched zataar from Mankoushé, find office rooftops, make an Oxo Ovo video, learn the Melbourne shuffle, eat spanakopita from Le Bon, watch Ancient Aliens with Bob in the forest, write a script, eat an ‘everything’-bagel from Glicks, throw away old band tshirts, work on my melanomas, eat a bbq pork roll from Nhu Lan. Not to mention Open Archive, Warneet Ngargee, BYOB Melbourne…

After a 7-month self-imposed exile from faceache/farcespace/fakesbook I have returned to the dark-blue citadel. Some thoughts…
Love it or hate it, it is an undeniably powerful form of communication. My primary reason for return is event notifications. I witnessed this in a very concrete way in Indonesia during Video Vortex festival; the local underground runs on facebook. Quick-turnaround gigs that defy the authorities. Moving to Australia for a few months has made me aware of this in Melbourne. I will continue to publicise the events I organise over multiple formats (paper, papyrus, smoke rings) including FB.
Trying to organise an event in Melbourne with very FB-centric people has made the process longer and less dynamic. Giving up my rejection of FB might make these wheels turn quicker. Receiving no response to emails when organising with the IM-minded is very frustrating. Non-response to email is a cultural turn, brought on by platform-burnout, info-overstimulation and a proliferation of services demanding our limited attention.
Upon leaving FB I tried Twitter and the then nascent Google+. The information gleaned from a well-curated tweet-tube can be a potentially useful mess of news, opinion and links. I find it a beneficial resource and a stark contrast to the personal swill on FB. Google+ is in it’s infancy and may be only valuable to unify a suite of google products under one user account. If I willingly submit to the data-mined commercial world of google, which is already hosting my domain name mail service, I may offer myself willingly on the sacrificial altar of FB too. My personal caveats for this re-appraisal of FB include using tight privacy controls and only posting links from my blog into FB rather than transferring the ‘original’ data to their servers. The arrival of G+ has driven Facebook to develop and improve beyond their usual aggresive-algorhythmic user-accumulation method. Privacy controls are cleaner, sharing between groups is simpler and the subscriber function means it is possible to post public and non-personal updates on FB without being ‘friends’ with someone. I will continue to support open-source and small scale social networks such as Diaspora and Mediamatic.
1200+ ‘friends’ – too much. This time inside the walled garden I want to be much more strict – quality over quantity. Those already in my life and dear to me, the people who make me laugh rather than the web 2.0 promo-careerist entrepreneurs who talk loud and do nothing.

Marc de Jong FLOCK WORK
Gould Galleries, 270 Toorak Rd. South Yarra
Opens Thursday 08 September 2011 – Saturday 08 October 2011
EXPANDED FERVOUR (SUBTERRANEAN UNDERGROWTH)
In Marc de Jong’s FLOCK WORK we are presented with explosive moments of energy controlled and contained. Removed from their origin as stock photography they appear to be slowed to the point of growing organically. His images of curling ocean waves, fireworks, volcanos, black holes all deal with brutal, spectacular energy. Electricity, water, gravity, fire – elemental forces man has tried to contain. These are portraits of entropy – a moment of peak energy about to dissipate – the greatest force frozen and permitted to grow a mould-like flock veneer. In this manner they are meditations on the speed of global image culture, overgrown phosphorescent works that contain our shared visual culture.
COPY PASTED (SIGNED AND SEALED)
Stock footage and universal logotypes have long been a fascination for de Jong. From the early sign-jacking of the re-advertising project to his re-appropriation of Mad Max in oils, to the alternate reading of nationalist pride in his combination of Australian Aboriginal colours and the Eureka stockade flag. Marc has continued a tradition of very precise and controlled re-use of contemporary imagery. In FLOCK WORK we are witness to a sifting of imagery from stock photography libraries that privilege moments of dynamic intensity only to seal them in their explosive state and alchemically make them permanent on canvas. Somewhere between printing, painting and electrostatic experimentation lies de Jong’s flock process. Generating sparks in their big bang moment in the studio, these canvases represent and also contain the energy used to make them.
SERENE SMILE (YOU VAIN CREATURES)
de Jong’s Buddhas stare out from the walls, peacefully surveying the folly of man’s attempts at longevity and permanence. These heads stand apart in this body of work as the only manifestation of a human form. A humble, resigned, knowing, curling smile that sees the world from it’s jungle home at Angkor Watt, Cambodia. These faces are the key to understanding Marc de Jong’s metaphysical concerns – they are the serene reflections of man surveying and attempting to understand the world. Fame dissolves, humanity is extinguished, but life continues in the pores of the earth. Surfaces of the world will again creep with lichen and moss, much like de Jong’s flock seems to grow and emit a faceless living energy.

Philip Brophy, in his catalogue essay for Five Production Company Logos in 3D, sees Emile Zile’s groin-level gesturing aptly as a ‘spoof’ on masturbatory corporate excess. It strikes me also as a kind of post-mass-media shadow-puppetry, almost as though Zile might be telling us a story around the campfire, his flickering hands casting the shape of mythical battles or god-heroes onto thin air.
