I came across this a while ago meant to post it but forgot, so I’ll do it now. It’s from the (cringeworthy )Fantasy football TV show but it’s worth watching for Luther Blisset (Watford and AC Milan footballer) talking about the other Luther Blisset.

Starting tonight on BBC2 (for those of you who get it …and shortly afterwards on the net for the rest) The Trap: What Happened to Our Dreams… is a new series of films by Adam Curtis (The Power of Nightmares, Century of the Self) that tells the story of the rise of today’s narrow idea of freedom. It will show how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today’s idea of freedom. This model was derived from ideas and techniques developed by nuclear strategists during the Cold War. It was then taken up by genetic biologists, anthropologists, radical psychiatrists and free market economists, until it became a new system of invisible control.
Highly recommended

As part of a project I’m working on for my graduate exhibition I’ve been thinking about how you represent a process-based, participatory experience in a gallery setting (and still retain some integrity). As hamish Fulton says an object cannot compete with an experience…but you can sell it, and therein lies the problem.
