philthy gives this blog a resounding yes.
I want killer-vision. Some people say it was discovered accidently by some scientists conducting a clinical drug trial. Actually, they were giving the patients ecstasy and one of them, known only as “pp”, developed an in incredible insight into how the world should be run. The whole world would be run by a political party called “The Party Party”. Nobody would have to go to work. Their campaign slogan would be “Teach the children to sing!” in reference to their policy of turning all primary schools into karaoke bars. Actually nobody ever bothered to vote for the party party cos everyone was too busy frolicking and making out
The utopian vision goes on and on and on and on like this.
Whenever you have a genius moment like this, drug induced or not, it is called killer-vision. And the finest pracitioner of this art that the world has ever seen, is philthy philhtosa.
Happy birthday Philthy!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE killer
The philthosa/destruction model was created in the summer of 2003. The aforementioned inventors fancied themselves as rather good art critics, particularly when under the influence of cheap wine and reeling from previously held annoying conversations with fellow gallery-goer’s.
It is a simple, and intensely effective way of distinguishing good art from bad art, or as philthosa/destruction term “total shit / totally excellent”
The p/d model requires only one art viewer, but the model works most effectively with two participants. Three or more can also participate, but all must be in agreement of the inherent validity and complete accurateness of the p/d model. Conversations that challenge the model whilst it is being implemented serve no purpose apart from revealing the argumentative participant as a “wanker”.
1. Participants begin at the art piece to the furthest left of the art space. If this beginning point cannot be determined, the participants should agree on a randomly determined piece.
2. Participants ponder the piece together in silence for approx 10 seconds.
3. In no particular order, participants should vocalise one of two potential responses, “Yes” or “No”.
4. Participants move to the next piece and repeat steps 2 & 3.
note: If the gallery is jam-packed full of stuff, and it is not possible to look at each individual piece, the participants may rate the entire exhibition with the “Yes” or “No” response.
A “Yes” response may inspire the participants to further engage in cheap wine and annoying conversation.
A “No” response may inspire…..exactly the same thing.
dearest madame de philthy. this is a blog i have crafted with painstaking indentations of my keyboard for you, on the occasion of your 30th birthday, sweet lady. i have hopes that i may visit it into the future to get the low-down on where to find free booze, good times and good/bad/mediocre/life-changing art (depending on the vagaries of the creative output of the artistes of melbourne), or info on yr own many wondrous projects of art and craft. i have long admired yr propensity for art spam, and dream of you spamming the world with it, so that the words and phrases “art opening”, “gallery show”, “drinks n nibbles” and so-forth are as ubiquitous around the globe as “cheap viagra”, “enlarge your penis” or “PjbvHARMACY”. it is only fitting that the philthiest drummer of spam fame carry on to the task of art spam at this latest creative juncture. i hope to see chuba-sightings galore, and all manner of melty-beads fashioned into objets d’art, as well as following along as you journey through other linguistic and artistic adventures. much love from a xx
For some god awful reason i was watching some crap channels news section with the traffic helichopter in the sky and it set me thinkin bout the parallels b/w lunar based tidal patterns wot happen with the sea-side & the mass movements of cars/transport/people flooding into & da shity in the morning and being flushed out again at evening times. I'm sure there are heapsa other analogies, but i canna think of any at the moment. But i'd gladly steal other peoples ideas & promote them as my own...
Glowing pig passes on fluorescence to offspring
Posted Thu Jan 10, 2008 0:41am AEDT http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/01/10/2135222.htm
A pig genetically modified in China to make it glow has given birth to fluorescent piglets, proving such changes can be inherited, state media report.
The sow was one of three pigs who had fluorescent green protein injected into their embryos when they were bred in December 2006 by scientists in north-east China, Xinhua news agency says.
The pigs glow green when placed under an ultraviolet light.
Liu Zhonghua, a professor at North-East Agricultural University in the city of Harbin, says after the sow mated with an ordinary pig, two of the resulting 11 piglets inherited the feature.
"The mouths, trotters and tongues of the two piglets glow green under ultraviolet light, which indicates the technology to breed transgenic pigs via cell nuclear transfer is mature," he was quoted as saying.
Scientists in Taiwan had bred fluorescent pigs in January 2006, but Professor Liu said the birth of the fluorescent Chinese piglets proved such changes could be passed on to offspring, which expands scientific and medical possibilities.
"This technology promises to breed excellent transgenic pigs and even raise special pigs to provide organs for human transplant operations in the future," he said.
His teams used somatic cell nuclear transfer technology previously employed in the cloning of animals by US, South Korean, and Japanese scientists, Xinhua said.

Lions may have eaten Kenyan corpses: Red Cross
Posted 24 minutes ago
Big cats and scavenger mammals and birds may have eaten some of the bodies of human victims of recent post-election violence in Kenya, the counrty's Red Cross says.
"There are also an unspecified number of uncollected bodies due to accessibility difficulties and it was feared the bodies may have been consumed by animals and birds of prey," the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) said in a statement.
Aid workers fear that the Kenyan death toll could overshoot at least 600 after they confirm the number of bodies in the bush, mainly in the country's Rift Valley province, which hosts more than 80 per cent of the 255,000 displaced.
The society said at least 1,300 people had been injured across the east African nation.
"The destruction and loss of property and crops worth millions of shillings have aggravated the situation since many people are affected and lack their means of livelihood," the statement added.
"The affected communities cannot buy commodities after business premises were completely destroyed.
"Government peace building efforts are yielding fruit as calm slowly returns in the violence plagued areas."
