Short story: I was telling a tale to a friend about a man I used to know named Robert Delford Brown, and remembered a Dadaist movement him and I organized a few years ago. After an hour of searching, I finally found the video on my old myspace page...but I cannot get it off. SO, I'm embedding it here. If you'd like to know the story behind this, I'll post tomorrow, but all you need to know is this was back in 2009 and was the efforts of a group of artists to represent the spirit of Dadaism through colorful dresses, loud and infectious musical instruments, laughter, confusion, stilts, and getting a city to forget about the bullshit for a few minutes and focus on what is possible through the combination of collective imaginations. We handed out hundreds of kazoos on our journey and ended up taking over a local bar.

Robert Delford Brown died the next month while we were planning a rafting trip across the Cape Fear River using only sandals (borrowed from another local artist). He must have gone down to the river's edge one night and fell in; he was found dead two days later. We had a very unique service; drank some of his ashes in a huge bowl of raw egg.

Just to give you an idea of who he was; Andy Warhol and him were not only partly responsible for the Happening in NYC back in the '60s, but his art made you question what art really was. You'll see in the video, a sign we made; there is no not art.

Take this how you will. Is it subjective? One man's shit is another's art? Or is the potential present in every little thing to become art?

Anyways, this is just my way of saving his video for now, until I figure out how to download it. The HD it was on died a long time ago. Message me if you have any idea how to do this, and remember; this was my first video editing EVER. I think I did ok.

ps: sorry about any ad; I don't know how to turn that off, and certainly don't get any money for it. Use Adblock Plus!
