Quantity Over Quality? This Performance Artist Released 1,000 Video Shorts In One Day
Bruce Asbestos is daring you to watch 1,000 videos. It's not just a troll, though.
by Zach Sokol
Yesterday, The Creators Project detailed a creative challenge by Justin Miller, where the illustrator made a new computer illustration every single day for a year. While the work wasn't overly ornate, it also wasn't rushed, quick bursts of creative energy: it was clear that Miller heavily meditated on his creative process and saw himself evolve as an artist as the year churned on. Today, however, we found a project by UK artist Bruce Asbestos, that takes a different view of prolificity. Asbestos released 1,000 video pieces on YouTube at once yesterday--a deluge of idiosyncratic clips that took us some time to make sense of.
After a cursory glance, I shrugged off this project a self-serving grab for attention--the videos are all two-to-five second pieces with titles like "BFF," "Let's Make A Website," and "Let's Delete Our Websites," where Asbestos looks at the camera with a slight grin and says, "Let's make a website…"
Then I noticed a particularly interesting title, "I Think You Need To Be More Selective About What You Post On The Internet." Hmm…
This isn't a mere troll, though. On Asbestos' site, the artist says about this project, "See what happens when you give a lot to your audience." This dare--or challenge-- is like the reverse of Miller's 365 day project. Rather than our watching this artist develop over a year, maybe Asbestos is playing the role of spectator and is waiting to see what the Internet will make of the extreme quantity of work.
Maybe the page views will rack up and the comments section will yield some interesting replies. Maybe a blog (like this one) will try and make some sense of a project that doesn't necessarily need to make sense. The videos might not be the actual project, but instead the ebb and flow between the creator and voyeurs will turn into something more interesting than just 1,000 short videos with winking titles.
Digging through Asbestos' site reveals a little more about the creativity instilled here. There's an artist statement that is particularly brilliant:
Bruce Asbestos (March 1st, 1982 – September 4th, 2076) is an british transvestite artist who is a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pope art. Born Hildegard Mannekind, she was afflicted with a small tail, which came to prominence in her notorious Greenwich performance 'The Tail of Asbestos'. Her works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 2070s. After a successful career as a dog handler, Asbestos became a renowned and sometimes controversial cheerleader. The Bruce Asbestos Museum in her native city, Pittsborough, sylvania, holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives. It is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist whose name rhymes with 'Spruce Las Bestos.' [sic]
Not only does "pope art" hyperlink to the 'Pop Art" page on Wikipedia, but the entire bio is editable by anyone who views the site, promoting the audience to create value in the biography of an artist we don't personally know. Everything could be fabricated. Does the Internet decide what to make of Bruce Asbestos, similarly to her 1,000 videos that are just quietly sitting on YouTube, waiting to be analyzed (even if there's nothing yet to say)? Or, again, is this part of Asbestos' longer, conceptual goal?
This morning, we posted about The Father of Video Art and asked what Nam June Paik would do with a tablet or YouTube. Asbestos might not be taking the torch from the Korean legend, but as her editable bio notes, she'll be making work until at least 2070. We have plenty of time to see what happens when she gives a lot to her audience.

On her September birthday, delight her with a ring that's just her style! Fashioned in sleek 10K white gold, this eye-catching design features a 5.5mm round-shaped lab-created blue sapphire center stone. Trilion-shaped clusters of dazzling round diamonds flank the sapphire adding extra sparkle. Boasting 1.7 ct. t.w. of diamond and a bright polished finish, this ring is certain to take her breath away.


"Happy birthday, my son. If only I could have helped you."
— Iroh talking to his son's picture.
Prince Lu Ten was the son of General Iroh, the nephew of Ozai and Ursa, the cousin of Zuko and Azula, the grandson of Azulon, the great-grandson of Sozin, and second in line to the Fire Nation throne. While serving his nation in combat as a soldier in the Fire Nation Army, he was killed during his father's famous six-hundred-day Siege of Ba Sing Se.
Lu Ten's death had a traumatic impact upon his father, causing him to abandon the siege, ultimately providing an opportunity for Ozai to usurp the birthright of Fire Lord from his brother.
In his childhood, Lu Ten enjoyed playing with his father, Iroh.
Lu Ten lost his life in combat against the Earth Kingdom five years before the end of the Hundred Year War during the Siege of Ba Sing Se. When he learned of his son's death, Iroh was so heartbroken that he abandoned the siege of the city, claiming that he and his men were exhausted from the extensive time away from home. When his brother, Prince Ozai, learned of Lu Ten's death and Iroh's subsequent actions, he petitioned their father, Fire Lord Azulon, to appoint him as heir to the throne, claiming that Lu Ten's death meant that the royal bloodline would end with Iroh, since he had no other heir. Azulon was enraged at such a request, but because of his mysterious death soon after, Ozai was able to take the throne. Iroh did not challenge Ozai's claim, even though he was the elder brother, and did not attempt to secure the throne for himself.
Lu Ten and Iroh had a strong relationship during Lu Ten's childhood, and they remained close during his adulthood. His death had a profound effect upon Iroh, whose personality shifted more toward a calm acceptance of life, rather than continuing to participate in the current war.
Lu Ten was first mentioned during the Siege of the North when Iroh informed Zuko that after Lu Ten's death, he began treating Zuko like his own son. A younger Lu Ten was also seen in "Bitter Work" and a picture of an older Lu Ten was displayed at Iroh's altar for him during "Tales of Ba Sing Se". Zuko had a flashback showing himself, Iroh, and a young Lu Ten during "The Beach".
The Avatar Extras bonus commentary for "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" misspelled Lu Ten's name, spelling it as Lu Tin.
The words in top left of Lu Ten's portrait could be roughly translated as: "To General Iroh: See you after we win the War. Your loyal son Lu Ten."

Michigan State University's medical school is joining downtown Flint, announcing plans to open a community campus in the heart of the city.
MSU's College of Human Medicine will develop public health programs, recruit and house top public health researchers and provide office and classroom space for staff, faculty and students in a yet-to-be determined downtown location, according to plans MSU was set to publicly unveil today.
The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation will fund an initial grant of $2.8 million for the project that college officials say will allow Flint to join East Lansing and Grand Rapids as pillars of the college's statewide footprint and hopefully help grow more local doctors.
Excellent news. Charles Stewart Mott, via his surrogates, comes through for us once again.
If Flint ever decides it needs a new name, I vote for "Mott".


EasyJet expects full-year profits to suffer a bigger-than-expected hit with the pound down sharply since the Britain voted to exit the European Union, the no-frills airline said Tuesday.
"The weakness of sterling is expected to impact EasyJet's year-on-year profit before tax for financial year 2017 by around £105 million ($131 million, 122 million euros)," the company said in a statement, up from an estimate of about £90 million in November.
Since Britain voted in June for Brexit, the pound's value has slumped by around 18 percent against the dollar and some 14 percent versus the euro.
EasyJet's share price slumped in reaction to Tuesday's update, sliding 8.36 percent to £9.86 on London's FTSE. The benchmark index was flat overall.
"After a bruising 2016, EasyJet investors have understandably latched on to the continuing drag on profitability from Brexit-hit sterling," said City Index market analyst Ken Odeluga.
"The impact is forecast to amount to £75 million in the first half and £105 million for the whole financial year. These hits are higher than the approximately £70 million and £90 million figures the airline foresaw when reporting full-year results in November."
EasyJet chief executive Carolyn McCall added that a hit from the current fuel price environment would also be larger than expected on group earnings for the year to September 30.
Although lower oil prices reduce airlines' jet fuel costs, it leads also to increased competition among airlines as the savings trigger cheaper ticket fares.
"The dogfight in European shorthaul continues, and sheer weight of numbers is taking its toll on EasyJet," said Nicholas Hyett, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers.
"Prices per seat are falling as competitors add capacity, made possible by lower fuel prices. EasyJet is keeping pace and that is helping topline revenue move upwards, with capacity and passenger numbers continuing to surge," he added.
Tuesday's update came in a first-quarter trading statement in which EasyJet announced rises to revenue thanks to higher passenger numbers.
"EasyJet has delivered a solid first quarter with revenue, cost and passenger numbers in line with expectations," said McCall.
EasyJet earlier this month said it had transported a record 74.5 million passengers last year thanks to low oil prices and full planes, but nevertheless found itself slipping further behind no-frills leader Ryanair.
And EasyJet's heavy exposure to the uncertain British economy and weak pound have seen investors shun for a while the airline's shares, which slumped 42 percent last year, a drop much worse than its rivals.
EasyJet has been hit also by industrial action and unrest in key markets Egypt and Turkey.
Meanwhile following Britain's vote to quit the EU, EasyJet is looking into obtaining EU operating certification to ensure a smooth transition once the country does leave the bloc.

An interview with Ronnie O'Sullivan
The world's greatest snooker player talks to RW about mental health, portion control and 'proper running'
By Rick Pearson
Ronnie O'Sullivan is not interested in jogging. The man nicknamed 'The Rocket' likes to run the way he pots snooker balls: quickly; relentlessly.
'There's no feeling like ticking along at 6:30-min/mile, in the forest, up and down the hills,' he says. 'It's just a great way to start the day. That, to me, is proper running.'
To hear O'Sullivan speak about running today, in almost religious terms, it's hard to imagine a time when he considered it a chore. However, as a kid, O'Sullivan was told by his dad, Ronnie Snr, that he had to run.
'He used to force me to go out,' says O'Sullivan. 'He said, "You can leave school when you're 15, but you have to keep fit. Healthy body, healthy mind." I never used to enjoy it, but I noticed it made me play better snooker. And I wanted to be as good as I could at snooker, so I kept it up.'
However, when his dad was imprisoned for murder, O'Sullivan stopped running and by the time he was 20 years old, he weighed 15 stone and his waistline had swelled to 37 inches. Running came back into his life initially as a way to lose weight – but soon became much more than that.
'Running has kept the things that are important to me – my family, relationships and snooker – much more stable. I've noticed I don't get so moody, there isn't the same self-loathing. Running just makes me feel so much better about myself, which is good for everyone around me too.'
In many ways, running became O'Sullivan's new addiction. In his 2013 autobiography, Running, he called it 'my religion, my belief system'. It replaced the booze and drugs that had characterised large parts of his life until then – and he was good at it too. Having joined his local running club, Woodford Green, he began to train and race like a man possessed. Four years later, in 2008, he was down to 11 ½ stone and running a 34:54 10K. 'Proper running' by anyone's standards.
A lot on his plate
Several years – and several injuries – on, O'Sullivan is not running quite as quickly. 'I could probably only run a 20-minute 5K at the minute,' he says, wistfully. He is, otherwise, in a wonderful place – physically, mentally and professionally.
6 runners discuss running and their mental health
Two days before we met, he had just become world number one again in his second-favourite sport: snooker. At 44, he was the oldest player to achieve this – and he attributes his longevity to regular running and a fresh approach to nutrition.
His book, Top of Your Game: Eating for Mind and Body, which he's co-wrote with nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, is a collection of healthy recipes and hard-won insights on food, running and life in general.
In many ways, O'Sullivan is an unlikely poster boy for the healthy eating movement. Moderation, self-care and healthy living aren't things you might readily associate with a man whose all-night binges would reportedly see him consume 15 pints of Guinness (alongside other, stronger substances).
It's fair to say he's made some foodie faux pas along the way, too. 'I'd always eaten well because my mum was Sicilian,' says O'Sullivan, 'so I'd been used to eating fresh produce and good food. My biggest problem has always been that I've just eaten too much.'
For instance, when someone mentioned to O'Sullivan that olives were really healthy, he took that as his cue to eat 30 of them in one sitting. Another time, when following a high-fat, low-carb diet, he'd regularly eat two avocados in one sitting. 'Don't get me wrong, I do like an avocado,' he says, 'but you're only really meant to have half an avocado a day.'
9 ways to get your avocado fix
In September 2017, O'Sullivan says he'd' 'hit a wall' with his physical and mental wellbeing. He was overweight again, despite the fact that he was over-exercising, and everything was suffering as a consequence – including his snooker.
'I was playing badly because I was so knackered all the time,' he says. 'I was following a carbohydrate-free diet to try and drop some pounds, without realising that my brain needed good carbohydrates to function during matches.'
That's when O'Sullivan started working with Lambert. Together, they got a handle on his portion sizes, cut out certain foods and added others. The results, he says, have been startling.
'I've shed two stone in the past two years, purely through changing my diet, and have never felt so energised. Nutrition has made a massive difference to me. When I stopped running as competitively, some bad habits crept back in. I used to equate running with staying slim and thought the eating wasn't important. I've come to realise it's actually the other way round: I don't have to run like I used to as long as I eat right.'
Maestro to mid-pack
With a snooker cue in his hand, O'Sullivan is a phenomenon. He's just claimed his seventh World Championship title, becoming the oldest world champion in Crucible history.
The trophies, which also include seven Masters title and seven UK Championships – tell only half the story. For it is not how many trophies O'Sullivan has won but the manner in which he has won them, that sets him apart. To watch 'The Rocket' in full flow is, simply, a thing of beauty. He is the Picasso of the baize or, perhaps, the Kipchoge of the cloth.
Dean Mouhtaropoulos
With a pair of running shoes on his feet, O'Sullivan is good, but not great. He once finished 189th at the Southern Cross-Country Championships and made it into the pages of Athletics Weekly via a win at a small-scale 10K in Essex.
Yet swapping the bright lights of the baize for the ankle-deep anonymity of cross-country was part of the appeal. With a club vest on, O'Sullivan was no longer a once-in-a-generation genius, with all the expectation that comes with it. He was just another exhausted, imperfect runner.
'I knew I was always going to have to be one of these untalented runners who has to work hard to get whatever he can out of it,' he says. 'Don't get me wrong, no matter what I do, I like to be at the front. But with running I knew I wasn't expected to win. I'd look at the winners and think, "It would be great to be them." But I knew I could never be that good, because I'd never done it seriously as a kid.
'I used to equate it to someone who was 30 years old who decided he wanted to become a top snooker player. How would he fare against me? He'd never get anywhere near me. Even if he played for the next 100 years and I didn't pick up a cue, I'd wipe the floor with him.'
While running victories may have remained out of reach, moving from maestro to mid-packer taught O'Sullivan some valuable lessons about himself. 'Running taught me that I've got guts, determination and that I'm happy not to take shortcuts,' he says. 'If you want to get the most out of yourself as a runner, you don't have to have masses of ability. I honestly think if you run 50 or 60 miles a week, with a few track sessions thrown in, anyone can run a sub-3 marathon or a sub-35 10K. It's all about effort.'
Had you, in 2009, asked O'Sullivan to rank his top sporting priorities, winning another snooker World Championships might have come second to his desire to represent his home county, Essex, in cross-country.
'Running did take over for a while, I'll admit,' he says. 'But I didn't mind, because [running] is a good thing. You don't mind things like that taking over. Anyway, what else are you going to do with your life – sit around and get fat?'
Nowadays, O'Sullivan prioritises his potting. However, he still packs his running shoes when he heads off to a snooker tournament, regularly popping in on local running club sessions, provided he feels fit enough.
'When I'm fit, I always join up with the local running club and go for a five- or seven-mile run,' he says. 'The last three or four years, my running has gone a bit downhill, so I don't meet so many people now because I don't want to slow them down. I just go out and do my own little four-miler at 7:30 min/mile. That's enough for me at the moment.'
Although some of O'Sullivan's miles are run on the road, he's happiest on the trails of his local Epping Forest. And although snooker may have made him a millionaire several times over, when it comes to running, he likes to keep things simple and gadget-free.
'I love running offroad, through the forest,' he says. 'For me, it's all about getting away from people, cars, fumes. I once wore headphones for about half an hour, but I threw them away in the forest as it was killing it for me; the beauty of being outside is that you're away from technology.'
Given his impressive times over shorter distances, it is perhaps surprising to learn that O'Sullivan has never run a marathon. At his running peak, his clubmates told him he was in sub-2:45 shape, but injuries and a hectic schedule have always got in the way. Is it something he'd like to do in the future?
'I'd definitely do a marathon,' he says. 'While I'm still competing playing snooker, it's hard for me to commit to doing the miles in training, because that would become too much of an obsession. I've only got another three or four more years playing snooker – I've got to prioritise that. But if I get in decent shape, even at 50 I like to think I could still possibly run a sub-3 marathon.'
Whether or not he decides to tackle the full 26.2, O'Sullivan knows he wants to continue to run for as long as his legs allow him. 'I look at people at the running club in their 60s and 70s, and they're still doing it. I look at them, and they look so healthy – I want to look like that when I'm their age. I obviously want to run as much as a I can and, if I can't run, I'd probably take up a coaching badge.'

This advertisement for the 3rd Festival for Mind Body Spirit appeared in Alpha magazine (subtitled "Probes the Paranormal") in 1979. Its promise of "Psychic phenomena, UFO's [sic], Earth Mysteries and more" was a slight shift in emphasis from the event's official poster, which touted astrology, Earth mysteries, health & healing, yoga, dance, natural living, sports, crafts, and a "rainbow dome" featuring ambient music specially recorded for the event by Steve Hillage. The festival was founded in 1977 by Graham Wilson, a "new consciousness entrepreneur," and Terry Ellis (possibly the same Terry Ellis whose tenure as head of London's "child-centred" William Tyndale Junior School caused a national scandal that informed subsequent UK education policy) with the aim of promoting the relationship between religion, personal growth, the paranormal, spirituality, natural healing, and consciousness. The festival is still active today, albeit under different management.
The venue—the London Olympia, with a capacity of 4,000-10,000 people—had been a temporary civil prison camp for German nationals during the First World War and a civilian internment camp during the Second, as well as home to the first British Electronic Computer Exhibition in 1958.
Nice. Public domain, 1970s style. Why am I not surprised that you caught that?


Spinner Island is a 55 acre property located at the tip of the Grizzly Island in the Suisun Marsh wildlife area. Founded in the late 1800's by Charles Spinner, the property was used primarily as an artichoke and asparagus farm until the mid 1920's. The Malfatano family purchased the property from Mr. Spinner and transformed it into a duck and pheasant club. The Malfatano's built the existing 4 bedroom clubhouse and used it for many generations. In the early 1980's, vintner Tom Leonardini of Whitehall Lane Winery bought it and continued to run a top notch Duck and Pheasant club for his friends, many of them stars like Joe Montana and Dusty Baker. The last owner bought Spinner Island in the 1990's and it was seldom used and never formally hunted.
In January 2008 Spinner Island was purchased by a group of friends with a vision to create a special Hunt, Kite and Social Club. The owners are a diverse group of men and women with a common vision to create the perfect club with easy access from the San Francisco Bay Area. The property is used year round by members, family, and friends. The annual 4th of July party has become a unique Delta experience for many.
Our long-term goal is to create a gathering place for generations of families to kite, hunt, fish, boat, socialize, and enjoy the Delta lifestyle on a ranch property surrounded by water.

Electronic Card Access Control Systems | Calgary Alarm Inc.
We have several types of Access Control. The most popular system uses electronic cards as "Key Cards" to your facility or highly sensitive areas within your facility (such as inventory and sensitive equipment). This replaces the old fashion key, therefore if an employee terminates there is no need to change locks, just eliminate the employee's "electronic key" from gaining access.
This system can be designed to work in conjunction with an Calgary Alarm. burglar and/or fire alarm system. If a burglar breaches an access controlled door, a signal will be sent to the burglar alarm control panel to sound an alarm. If a fire should occur in your building the unlocking of all doors is automatic. This allows the building occupants to escape to safety.
The system can also provide employee tracking in and out of the building and sensitive areas. The reports give a detail of who entered and left and the time they entered or left certain areas.
There is unlimited opportunities for any business for using Access Control.
Access control that has everything you need to minimize risk.
Small and medium-sized organizations can benefit from access control just as much as large enterprises. Our Access Control Kits enable your access control system to grow as you do.
