Has anyone seen this: http://11somerset.com/jeu ? It's a (Flash) game.
Pretty well done I suppose. Sort of (little yawn by now) Myst like. This
apparently accompanies a TV show called 11 Somerset set in Montreal. I
gather it's a show on the Space channel (see http://11somerset.com ). I
haven't seen the TV show. Anyone seen it? Any good? I did I and II in 'The
Society of Enigmas'. They were OK. The first one was intriguing. The second
one was OK but a lot like the first one. I started the third one but it was
a lot like the previous two.

If anyone has seen the TV show, I'd be interested in hearing about the
relation between the show and the site. Do they go well together? Do you
appreciate each one better having experienced the other?

This site sort of reminds me of the Donnie Darko site in a way: a relatively
ambitious/imaginative site that goes with a piece of film or TV.

Re: Re: Turbulence Commission:


Perhaps it's simply that I'm growing senile, but I am bored quickly with
conventional narrative, poemy poems, songy songs, filmy films, etc etc. It's
a painful and ill-tempered condition! I just really long to see pieces like
Grafik Dynamo that make some space momentarily for the deity or erm
something I haven't already experienced in art. Work that doesn't reproduce
art from some other media, whether it be film or visual art or poetry or
whatever. I think it takes a lot of doing to make that sort of art, a lot of
abandoning presuppositions. And also usually some willingness to actually
learn how to do stuff with digital technology and also unlearn the
conventional uses of it, find the juice in it.

William S. Burroughs said that when you cut tape, the future leaks out. And
it does, you know, it can be that exciting, that unexpected, that fresh.

So thanks, Kate. Your Graphik Dynamo really made my day.
