Last night i went with Emma Hart, Corinna Till and Dai Jenkins to this performance/lecture by turner prize winner Mark Leckey.
i had seen him deliver his "cinema in the round " talk at a Lux event that me and Emma had performed at. Cinema in the round was a was fascinating and expanded my mind, it was a much more straight forward piece than "Long Tail" at least in appearance, although the ideas where more complex.
Long tail took in the male world of the Internet and its ability to deliver everything to every one how ever niche their taste.
the language he employed was beyond my vocabulary which left me wondering if i had understood more of the words he used then maybe my experience would have been more profound .
the performance was littered with technical problems and the start time was delayed by 20 minutes. the computer slide show kept going back to the apple screen and the whole thing seemed to slightly unprepared.
the devices he used to illustrate his ideas where designed for laughs and big theatrical impact.
but some how came across as clunky.
at the end of the performance he went back stage but his radio mic was still on and we heard him say " that was terrible "
i didn't think it was terrible but i thought it was not the best thing he has done .
and i am not so interested in this idea about the Internet, or at least i understand it and find it not so intriguing
but not a bad way to spend a Saturday night.
