EAI is proud to present Raymond Pettibon's Sir Drone (1989, 55:37 min), featuring Mike Kelley, at Migrating Forms. Shot in two days on home-video equipment, with dialogue read off cue cards, Sir Drone is part of a series of feature-length, low-tech video narratives that Pettibon made in the late 1980s focused on West Coast American radical subjects of the 1960s and 1970s. In Sir Drone, Mike Kelley and musician Mike Watt (of the legendary hardcore band Minutemen) play two teenage punks trying to start a band in the 1970s. They struggle to create the right image for themselves and their band, debating bands' names, the distinctions of punk and hippie music, and strategies to avoid being "rinky dink." Writing about Sir Drone, Mike Kelley stated, "Despite their crudeness, Raymond's tapes are strangely moving: he is a brilliant script writer."
Sir Drone will be accompanied by two lo-fi works involving teenagers and music by Cory Arcangel: Insectiside (1992-03, 7:29 min) and Message my Brother Justin Left Me on my Cell from the Slayer Concert Last Week (2004, 2:27 min).

The re-edit and the remix have become increasingly important strategies for artists working with appropriated moving images. In the era of YouTube and affordable, user-friendly video editing software, a minimalist approach to reworking appropriated material has emerged. What is the most economical way to make something new from something old?
Eschewing collage, the artists in this program choose to make works by refashioning a single piece of found video or film, such as a Hollywood action movie, a '70s sitcom, or a low-resolution video clip. Though recalling Internet fan edits and exercises encountered in film school editing classes, these remixes and re-edits by artists are driven by conceptual or formal investigations. Employing an economy of means, these artists create new forms of cultural critique and media intervention.

EAI presented a live performance event and video screening featuring three new art collectives who re-activate the lo-fi. Cory Arcangel and Alex Galloway from Beige and Radical Software Group demonstrated the subversive genre of video game hacking. Video work by Forcefield and a live music performance from Termination Gnome galvanized obsolete analogue signal-processors and defunct electronics. With psychedelic ebullience, Paper Rad synthesized and re-staged popular material from the Internet, television, video games, and advertising. An analogous era of analogue synthesis was bridged by rarely screened video from technical pioneers of the 1960s and 70s.
