Being Fucked Up -- video still

Attention Public

 

 

Karen: What do you think?

Cooper: Ummm See now, can you see the camera in your shot that you've got?

Karen: Mm-hmm, it looks good.

Cooper: I mean not the camera but the TV?

Karen: Yes.

Cooper: So we can see that you're shooting it?

Karen: Yeah.

Cooper: Ok, umm it looks great. That's good.

Karen: How are my levels? Do I have enough wind?

Cooper: You've got great wind. Let's go.

Karen: When I was a tiny small baby, I was kidnapped by my mother. My mother, Anna Ruskin and Tim Eckman, (who love me very much) took me away from stupid everything. And especially away from language. They took me in the Underground.

Tim Eckman said when I was a baby that I would teach them a new language.

Tim Eckman said that we would, with our language, make freedom!

First we did make freedom, in a small place. A tiny, small building in Nova Scotia. We had freedom there, and explored in the new dimension of p-e space. We got very deep in p-e space. Ok, it was natural, funny, experimental, boring, hard, ok.

Sometimes my mother, Anna Ruskin or Tim Eckman brought people to our building for a visit, even though we were in the Underground. If the person was with-it we woukld tell them about the experiment a bit, and about exploring in p-e space with the new Freedom Language. Wow. It was great! If they were not with-it, we would say that I was a retarded girl. A slow child. That was fine.

Eventually we decided to come up to Public. We had some press conferencing with the media. Stupidly we thought the public was ready to hear the stories of the New Freedom Language. Stupidly we thought the Public was ready to do deep exploration of p-e space. At first, we were like, Ok, no-one is understanding. No one in the press conferencing is very with-it. Ok. Maybe only Public is with-it. Ok. Straight to Public. So finally, my mother, Anna Ruskin and Tim Eckman said, “Karen, you go and make a remote, video, press-conferencing scripture. Maybe when history comes, Public will be with-it. These media types just don't get it.” So here goes.

We made a beautiful Freedom Language. It is ok. We have some freedom in psycho-emotional space together! You can come learn the Freedom Language! We would like to teach more people! We live very simply, but we are not primitive!

How was that? Will it work?

Cooper: I hope so.
