ARBOL_SEX_MEX
Video: Arturo Gil
Audio: Wakal, Monoploid

This nano-film is the animated version of an illustration comissioned by WOW-INTERNACIONAL, a well-known cultural magazine from México D.F. It attempts to map out some of the archetypes that mold the sexual behaviour of the average inhabitant in this strange land. It's structure and style is based in the arboles de la vida, "trees of life", pieces of popular art sold in souvenir shops around the country. hence the title, Arbol_Sex_Mex.

Too Fucking Pure

Hours and hours of zapping and information overload compressed in three minutes of headache-inducing, rapid-fire cuts. The story is told in the cut. Edition is the invisible language off this age, wrote Mr. Orridge. You can read more about this subject in the ideas section of this page.

ZOE
ZOE : DEJA TE CONECTO
Video: Arturo Gil, Julio León, Eduardo Márquez.
Audio: Zoé

Made with three pesos, in a week or so. The result wasn't so bad after all (methinks) ; there are parts I like and other ones I totally loathe (the playback sections suck for example). An "MTV" syle video.

KONFORT

Video: Arturo Gil
Audio: Manrico Montero, texto: xpollo

Urbe Probeta involved the creation of music tracks from various poems, and its release in a CD. It's main subject was Mexico-Tenochtitlán and its inhabitants. The piece in question was part of a set of visuals custom-made to be screened at the presentation of this project while the writers read their texts and the laptop musicians triggered the noises. The poem it illustrates is about a murderer, and the stream-of consciousness of his thoughts while he points and clicks on the web, planning his next killings.

TERRAZA MANTEL
TERRAZA MANTEL
Video: Juan Manuel Arias, Arturo Gil, Cristian Cardenas
Audio: Jorge Govea

An interesting idea from chilango-soundbyte collector Wakal; his first CD was an audio portrait of Mexico City, stemming from street sound recordings. He organized a promotional micro-tour around D.F. to "give back the sounds to the street". XNO did the visuals with fellow VJ Nicolás Chirokoff. We are lucky our equipment didn't get fried by connecting it to streetlamps...we had fun : )
