Bike Art

It has been said that nothing is ever easy but it always gets done.  The following exposition is a prime example of this—not just its content, which will be obvious, but the actual making of the film as well. After certain time and sanity-consuming crises, such as needing to search for and use a free file format converter (hence eerily fitting watermarks) in the editing process, thinking that out of impatience I may have accidentally deleted the entire project (which, while restoring my operating system, caused much smoking, twitching, and praying—but imagine the triumphant bliss when I knew I was mistaken!), and of course, finding ideal points and actually splitting the film (digitally, of course) to makes its length compatible with certain broadcasting interfaces…

we have a finished product. 

As you enjoy this journey from frustrated toiling to satisfied ecstasy—resulting in genuine gratitude—ask yourself questions and bask in life’s inevitable and everlasting duplicity: it is the balance—even the opposition—of poles that makes us wholly empty.

Each time I go to lock that bike up I am filled with gratitude, satisfaction, calm, and even happiness. These float away like all feelings, and what am I left with? Only this awake beingness full of nothing.

Behold: it is here, but I HIGHLY recommend watching it on youtube because of the 'full screen' feature. Enjoy my newest film. Thank you.

I am tempted to turn this into a performance piece and delete the files from my computer so the film exists solely on the Internet, thus highlighting the transience of existence. But I am experiencing a figurative cryptorchidism.

It is important to know that everything you see came about completely spontaneously and organically out of the moment at hand. There were no plans.
