Sleepwalkers, Night 16
Last night I forgot to mention that I ran into Yael and Anne in the garden tonight and Doug Aitken was with them. I took the opportunity to ask him if the 6 o'clock clocks were an intentional gesture. Every night at 6 pm while the bells are ringing in the neighborhood every screen is filled with the image of a clock. Turns out that it is, in fact, a happy accident. That makes it even better. Chance, as ever, gets it done.
Tonight I viewed Sleepwalkers with painter Steve Flanagan. He made a great observation about the cascading shower water. He said that it reminded him of a Pat Steir painting. Perfect.
And lastly . . . are the idiots winning? There was an odd moment when some escapees from the the Sugarape offices let out a collective "Oohh!" in reaction to the moment when the businessman was hit by the cab. It felt a bit, "Watch this. This is cool. Heh-heh." Dan Ashcroft would have cringed. Then he would have written an article about it. But just before the cringe he would have laughed at them laughing, which is what I did. The idiots. They are winning.
