A*le, an aluminum helmeted and sometimes gauntleted creature who is possibly a human female.The sixth installment in the A*le series, shot on a Canon Vixia. The murals and grafitti in this video are in Hayes Valley, San Francisco at Octavia & Hayes, near Patricia's Green.

Full Description

In this episode, A*le stakes out territory for her/itself. Ale's unfettered behavior is a bald expression of the kind of anxiety that we all experience from time to time. sylviatoyindustries, a San Francisco based artist whose performance art career began in grungy black boxes way off the beaten path to legitimate theater, brings grungy, sweaty, crazy-out-of-her-mind humor to the international Internet art world through But more than likely, A*le is a monster who, like Mr. Hyde, has morphed from angsty emotions and desires. Ale's place is not in her/its accepted place in society. A*le is not a prisoner in the urban landscape - she/it revels in the trash on the street, the outdoor smells and manmade stink, the graffiti. Yes, if you need a translation of all that graffiti, if you want to know what it means before you paint over it, if you really do seek the truth about society - about yourself - take a runnn with A*le.
