After looking at the colors of the 8 Track Shack, I was reminded of the colors of Christopher Doyle's cinematography and photography. Sadly, I've had a heck of a time finding examples online. But! I didn't give up and so here we go. Some stills from Wong Kar Wai's, 'Fallen Angels': http://www.dragonsdenuk.com/reviews/fallen_angels.htm Although the review of the film isn't all bad, I want to say that I do not agree with the critique. I love that movie to pieces. AND, I hope Phil doesn't hate me by now. …ok…I hope I’m not too out of line here, but I feel the need to make a third entry.

Oh good. After throwing out my little "C90" exclamation, I was asked what that meant and in looking for a nice photo to do my talking, I came across what I consider to be a very enjoyable website/artwork AND my next addition to this mixtape. My reasoning is, of course, that I like it. Also, since this is a visual mixtape, I think that a virtual visual of tapes is just good sense. Without further ado: http://www.tapedeck.org/index.php May I have a second turn? Oh good.

I think we could draw a link to another polarizing artist who incorporates ready made objects into his work: Jeff Koons. Three Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (Two Dr J Silver Series, Spalding NBA Tip-Off) 1985 http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=21383&tabview=image has the added bonus of echoing Daniel's Damien Hirst post. And they are floating circles...like the Noland (in a way).

We've got issues of industrialism, war, the role of the artist, reconsidering everyday objects, and redefining art. Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking...How 'bout a ready-made by Marcel Duchamp?! The porcelain white of "Flying Pup King" brings to mind one of my favorite works of art, "Fountain." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readymades_of_Marcel_Duchamp Noland, Spitfire, Shark, Flying Pup King, Kaboom.

John's Flying Pup King instantly made me recall Magritte's The Treachery of Images from those good old art history days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images For me, they are visually similar. I think the connection ends there unless Pup King is a pipe smoker. Ceci n'est pas un blog comment. Love the video Despi!

Really cool stop-motion animation that creates an amazing visual, but also calls into question our own observational skills as everyday objects, usually friendly ones, are turned into warfare by the artist, Pes. Check out 'Kaboom' by PES.
