  • THE PIG WILL HAVE THE LAST GRUNT. BY ACRILLIC FIGA 2007.

    THE PIG MAY HAVE THE LAST GRUNT. By ACRILLIC FIGA (steve ‘fly agaric 23’ Pratt) 2007.
    Pigasus for Prez’ of Swineland 68-69 & 2012
    pigs in space, pigs in time;
    in the Chinese year of the pig: 2007
    i put my pen to the Tusk

    In soilydarity with lush Miss Piggy,
    Hogzilla, Napoleon, old Major and Pigsey,
    Wilbur, Professor Strangepork, Picasso, Pigasus
    and Porky pig

    The four legged hog that the label
    refers to is innocent of man’s crime.
    treated as Swine, in many lands pig denotes
    bad Authority, uncleanliness,
    consumerism, greed,
    and a BLT
    What intricate conspiracy afoot
    set against the animal kingdom
    against the plant kingdom
    the human barn-yard mind,
    orchestrated by Farmageddon
    what vgetable vendetta?

    Rolling in mud, eating shit
    and their own litter, once in a while,
    parallels modern arms factory
    economic practice.

    If you can stomach a capitalist pig
    don’t snap your wig over cannibalism
    pigs act pretty peaceful
    they don’t make Nukes, deploy troops
    most roll with styl, most roast.

    Pig as profanity! pig police authority,
    pig brother, animal in salts.
     
    The pigs may have the last grunt
    as the year of the pig makes its course.

    I Talk to the dead pig in the sandwhich: Pigasus for Prez of Swineland 68-69 & 08-09? Pigs in Space, pigs in time; in the Chinese year of the pig in 2007′ i’ll put my pen to the Tusk of taking all pigs to heaven. Napoleon & Old major pigs, Ministry of Pig: 1984! Porky Pigs limbs litter the swine factory floor, Pig as profanity! Pigs as the Police authority, Pig Brother. Animals used as insulting metaphors for humans but Machines, Poisons and sleeping robots rule us? Ass drunk and/or stubborn as a mule like Pigasus parroting the whole dirty Bay of Swine thing, War pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins – sang Sabbath, But the four legged HOG that the word PIG refers to is INNOCENT of all crimes leagilly piggily crimes! Just a bristly pink critter! There seems an intricate Telepathic Conspiracy afoot against the animal kingdom. And against the Plant Kingdom and supernature, from a human-plants point of view. Orchestrated by humans or machine/Robot/poisoned humans. V’ for Vegetable Vendetta. Other than rolling in mud, eating shit and sometimes their own litter (Which makes an illuminating metaphor for modern Arms factory economic practice, invented by Humans), Pigs seem peaceful and intelligent to me, they don’t make Nukes, deploy troops or go to Church. The Hippopota-muses lament for their HOG kind Treated like Swine, the pig has become the Animal word used in Western Civilization that reflects the characteristics Of Authority, Uncleanliness, consumerism and greed. Greedy PIG! A poet in solidarity with the lush Miss Piggy, Hogzilla Napoleon, Old Major and pigsy, Wilbur, Professor Strangepork, Picasso, Pigasus and Porky – i hereby swear to clear these Swine of their stereotypical image quickly and their Stereotypical place in human history and knotted Language as Stupid dumb and dirty cheap fodder; useful at Christmas time with a little gravy tea to dip my TOE into. Dirty grunting Ugly pigs until Served up With a little Sauce. The pigs will have the last grunt as the year of the pig makes its course. —fly acrillic/fly agaric 23. 2007. taken from world piss: the spore of the words.

    Thanks to CHU, and to Laura, Pete and Olie and the Jibbering krewe. Each of the songs were played beginning to ending by myself in an improvised order.

    CHU. 51 DEGREES. RETROSPECTIVE AND AUDIO RESPONSIVE.
    A congress of audio components. Captured on canvas, aluminium, wood, steel. Projected by aerosol, ink, and light. A techni-coloured array within mediums, within mediums. And the price is just right. Reverse engineered computer graphics, brought back to the canvas again, audio components running through the work like a postman/sound engineer with sore feet.
    Symbols and symbol systems reflect off of canvas in a semantical pin-ball gallery. The meaning from each view point in the room changes as the symbol systems encroach upon the viewers perceptions. Smoking fine, yeah your right. Hanging portals and pictures you can fly through in a spaceship, a world of audio components, electronic, mechanical and manual. Communicating vessels from another world, where solid state entities inhabit audio components and where rogue tribes of interplanetary beings hunt down the beats and grooves to make the Universe dance.
    Every wire, plug, jack, socket, stylus, speaker and tape entity is grounded in earth – the foundation, the beat and the groove. Music. Music, in some sense is what connects all the pieces on show by CHU. Another way of seeing the work all-together in the gallery is as sound amplification and manipulation – a reaching out by a visual artist over to the sound world of music. A lead, jack, socket, wire, record..to plug into, turn on and power up. In the back of your mind you can now plug in the correct pattern to gladen’ the heart. A stereo guide to word sound image power. Turn on your mind and take the tour.
    THE THREE CHU PIECES THAT WERE MISSING!
    1. HOLE IN THE WALL
    2. BORN IN WALSALL
    3. CASTLE GIFT SHOP
    These three pieces of gigantic size are great testament to painting OUTDOORS, and are a reminder of the 100’s of OUTDOOR works, 1000’s by CHU that are way to large to bring into a gallery, and they are on a wall anyhow, for christs sakes. For anyone who has stumbled upon this writing about CHU’s exhibition: 51 DEGREES – keep kicking yourself as a reminder that he has also painted the world’s largest single-handed aerosol mural! But he would be quick to tell you that world records don’t mean half as much as soul records to im’, the audio components and the will to dance, groove and make beats prevails. I will extend my sentiment here to all the Graffiti writers worldwide who are bringing language up to speed using new tools and keeping the four elements interlocking between the streets and the cosmos. Yes boss.
    THE RISE OF THE AUDIO COMPONENTS.
    After the turmoil of the world banking palava, and the downword spiral of language into Ponzi schemes and overspending the planetary forces have reorganzized and deployed themselves to help humanity rise out of the slump and into the long boom, the perpetual crash of music. BACHWORDS. When audio equipment can grow wires and jacks like a living plant, or when electrical power can be hijacked, along with the infosphere – by biological entities – they have a high probability of taking on the form of communication devices, and symbol systems (hardware and software.) Hardwired and crosswired language bubbling beneath and without the Blackcountry’s equivalent of Japanese Manga. NO, not the rise of the machines, the congress of the audio processes. The interplay between audio components pulled down and out onto canvas by CHU, with the space surrounding them. The forced MUSIC in the head, brought about by the visual cunning of the audio engineered world. AUDIO RESPONSIVE. Remember. The pieces lead into each other.
    Maybe the tessellated patterning exhibited on the 3 Pieces – titled MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, MANUAL – are indicative of the hologramic style of CHU. Most things i have put down here are nothing new to CHU, he has been sketching this world for more than 12 years. But now we have a manifest environment that pitches the work together, projecting chronological, geographical and aesthetic relationships between the artist and his different mediums of expression. In the gallery space you can feel the holographic forces at work, and can slip on some 3D shades to view his tricky third attempt at a self portrait for the literal graphic 3D experience. Yet on another level i see the broad theory of CHU and his worlds morphing and blending with whatever comes his way, to mean that at the gallery space you can see the development of the pieces and how they fit together. The fitting together of the works seems to be yet another level of tessellation on behalf of CHU, and this method is directly exhibited in the two M.C Escher tribute canvases. And then we come to the cube. And tessellated perception. Immersive environments. 
    The cube remains beyond description. And the most difficult thing to capture with words. I might start by saying it is a room, built with 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor, but after decorating and chuscaping these numbers flux-chuate depending upon where you are looking from. The form of the cube seems to be related to the average height of human sight, so that distortions and impossible objects can formulate in the spaces, using that data as a starting point. The content of the cube or CHUBE is further scenarios from the rise of the audio components, this time hooking into and out of the giant alphabetical words: ITS NOT BIG AND ITS NOT CLEVER. Icons of electronic music culture, remix culture and audio engineering anarchy, turntables, tape-loops and speakers on the loose, chased by cables through cityscapes, chased by phantom power leads and microphone jacks. The electric word, electrified, like the mechanical bride – the words rise and the machines too, in a great torrent of seeing. In the cube i see no nouns, i only see verbs.
    Meanwhile projectors spit light shows and pixel reproductions of moving images, more invaders of the real, chu’s animations and graphics are a book in themselves, from the Walsall Illuminations installations to the VJ shows and animated gifs and computer games themselves, yes. Just take everything i wrote and put more verbs in, the moving images re-circulate the meanings quicker like a semantical windmill, spitting out graphical beings, solid state entities and more. And more…
    The exhibition also has the largest ever collection of YOUR MUM RANG memorabilia, a stunning sight in itself, although not immediately making the global extent of the sticker campaign visible in the great OUTDOORS. CHU has been dropping YOUR MUM RANG for 8 years as far as i know, the first sight of which i saw in San Francisco 2002. Visit CHU’s flickr site for the ongoing words to your MUM. Or think about creating your own campaign, transform your environment. Just on it.
    CHU seems to me to be of a new breed of aerosol artists, a pioneer of the field and a master of his class he continues to push the edges off and out, keeping the raw experimental edge with the precise tried and tested methods of his craft sharp. The cube was a great effort to arrange, construct, and prepare for CHU, but he laboured on with the project and deployed his CHUMOMETERS to startling effect. TOTAL IMMERSION!

    For anybody who couldn’t make the show in Birmingham, view the main room from three different angles. You can also view the cube too.

    If you’re interested in having one made, let me know.

    Its possible to create them entirely in Flash too, without the need to download Quicktime, view the high resolution example of the experimental cube.

    Cubic Experiment

    Life is short, the art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult
    -Hippocrates

    Nearly my whole creative experience I have been toying around with virtual spaces and thier exploration. Since I began working in CGI (on the ZX Spectrum VU-3D by Psion March 1983) and then into papercrafting and print techniques, I have been on a mission to merge the crafts and techniques and give the user experience more validity, or basically give the onlooker a super-human power, instead of me, the artist.

    For years I had considered the cinema 360 shows at the seaside and the stereoscopic applications, with red/blue glasses etc. that are familiar, hi-tec experiences you can have in many venues in various cities around the world. Six years ago I hit upon a technique that would replicate, or reverse engineer, the effect of a Quicktime VR movie or QTVR. QTVR’s construct an all around photographic experience from a single viewpoint, in the centre of a cubic space. My thoughts caught fire when I considered that it could be a real cube, and the centre was the natural, average height of a human eye level.

    Click this image to see a small version of the demonstration model that you can print out and make:

    For 6 years I believed the object necessary for this centre was to be 12 foot by 12 foot by 12 foot. Just before I had the oppurtunity to practice the concept, it hit me that the natural centre of a cube, a 5 foot 10 inch person, would require an 11 foot 6 inch cube.

    Rich Holland was the keen craftsman gifted with the task of building the walls and ceiling on the floor of the Wild Building in Birmingham. It took 3 days and over 2000 screws.

    The cube was launched at the preview night on 23rd April. To aid the viewing whilst the door was closed the very able Peter Dixon fitted a pendant 150W lamp 3 foot down from the centre of the ceiling, evenly casting light into the corners of the cube.

    I have to admit to getting a little cabin crazy whilst I worked inside the cube. After a while I was unsure what was the floor, and what I could rest on whilst I worked on the ceiling and floor. The sheer scale was a little ambitious in the timescale of the show, only two weeks to view this manifestation of a crazy idea I had. I hope to return to the next phase and hopefully bring it to London. In the meantime, enjoy a little version I made of it that you can view on-screen (Apple Quicktime required)

  • FS is for FLY-STYLE: Free writing in 09

    It feels way too long since i just sang. After all, fly should be droppin’ it, and them, like 10 ton chickens out of a hercules, or a few cows off a bridge. Introductions are over, honeymoon is up. Lights on, sound check and all the practice comes back, payback, playback for recording activity. GODISTURBER? what is it, two people compressed into a word? Godisturber, or durber…do you think she heard you? disturbance of the wave, dance of the dust mite, flows might get dusted. No turning back just around, on rotation, a duty, to turn, to change the dials, and cherish hilaritas and fun, tracing smiles for miles a day.

    The face of type under cosmetic review by the doctor, boots polished with ink, tread milling the pressure onto the street – imprints – impressions left, but what is right to write tonight, what is left to sift and lift? escalator and calculator combined to take a square root back to minus one. Disturbance of writing, what is it. Patterm, gramar and speech like jagged rocks in the tongues road. Surprises wrapped around every lampost, posted light and posted time awaiting your every stirring. Steering sentences into places you hope will alight faces, grace the next sentence and free the meaning, with each word and dust mite movement, with each undulation and flow, comes and goes me. Me the other disturber, aiming for anchorage and honest translation of visions, a package for chu, a package of elongated verbage. Age retraced in mind and beauty, retraced thought replaced with a new sporting chance. New free sentences to enhance the dance of particle wave waltz and end. To stop and go on amber and direct traffic into terrific. Speed out of the middle lane and cruise above the assfault altogether. Pulling clouds down and putting new sky up via skype. Sky up and blue in the air, up from the aluminium roads and factory canavas floor into the skylights, the last remaining green belt wrapped around Britain’s naked body. A horse-race of letters, a jockey of jabberwockey, keys two, the stable. We are for balance. Equation and mathematical system. We are measuring courses for Ostriches, by the feather weight. Heart of solid steel, no, of gold.

    A heart of rock-stone? a heart full of blood and pumps, a heart of pulses and waltzes with riddim. Heart and head laid down snug. Head and heart beating, bleeding words that got sentenced. Alphabetty shackled the soul aboard to the jetty, waves mirrored my close shave with sea foam. Phone home and away i went, travelling the telegraph paths, to find sense in this monologue leading to the bog. Cogs and wheels within’ circles, bones of past people’s particulars appear as lentickle-your-ears through lenses of grit. No moaning or more angry man’s madness in word, the way to an angry mad world, the new colour and contour leads the wire forrest freakeys out to new worlds, inhabiting spaces and places that hasty abrupt neophobes fail to adapt to. Your way and paths and roads and noodle highways are the ways, must write them out, write them way out, off -if possible. Write them off and turn them on, drop them out and dial her up, boil a cup of hearts broth, add dust mite and moth to make mothers brew, a glossing tossed in a pan of pun with butter. Splurge and splatter letter after letter after letter and chase the picture, the landscape and the actions, skip the nouns and hijack the verbs.

    Big up the verbs of all walks and ways about them, the turning ones of no fixed address, nomadic tribes folk of letters, the moving semiotic train, the moving bus and car, rust, tracks, carriage to carry out the trip trail, migrating letters and running words, dripping context and wind blown full stops. Null stops going forward to reverse positions and exercise the transition from high view twisting and word rollings out, the build up of pastry and pantry smells, the glue and binding molecules of doe, ray, me, so far the tale has baked itself into phrases melted down through the ages, gloopy goos of the great old ones returning, returning the flavour. The life and death march backward, out of ages into history factory production line, history formed and stamped, shaped and packaged, distributed by time and space, clive and tracy, graggy and laced, spaz and rave, you see the surprise on my face.

    As i lean down to tie my lace i get my finger looped in the ribbon of shoe, my tongue starts talking and before you know it i am being run out my socks, run around the wreakin’ like an etheopian long distancer. My tongue got a hold of my soul and laced up the tale of the toe. So now, a few minutes of passed and i feel gassed amidst the mist of literal twist, mint rust and apple pudding. Sweet snowflake, and pattern to distinguish individual spelling. Water language dropping, back to flows, and more of those. Staple the friendly papyrus to one-another and build book-witch, belonging to Dante and the Witches Sabbath. Blind boy Jimmy Johnson could see that back flows and under-currents swirl the girl and boy like a toy boat in a bath with a fat man. Big waves and particle fizz. Foam and lappings.

    Trappings of the pre-fix, the very and the more, good, bad and rhetoric. Veins upon the trees shirt strike me down dead in the park. I confess nothing. Disturbance and journey to the centre, to keep moving and styling the phone. Phonetic E.T’s going home. But what is to come after the transtime event? or before the end of history? Avoid the void and bless the woid, and balance yourself, on the edge, comfortable and with a smile like Harold Lloyd. What black and white picture show, just alphabet whatcha show, i ask myself whatcha’ showing, a comma, a full sharp. Flat space and spiral earth. Jerky meat box boys in a cupbaord with a monkey must move the mustard seeds from the ape political party chair, sitting on seeds can result in bum tree and pinapple sap head conditions i should not write of in an off handed manner like so. Like so what, i write off the cuff, and on the bluff side of the loon. No delete delete.

    Moving feet are dancing again, dancing barefoot in the mud to strike the MOOD for it to trickle rain. A wetness of image dryed up, wrinkled old alphabetty. Formation dispanded by rubbers and ink-delete pens of mass destruction. Not in more than 12 months have i pumped up my staright backtype to attempt a trapeze poem of sleeze on the fly. How high the moon, how low the vault? Light and sound pulses chatter on top of the surface of any lake you like, waves waves and waves again, never folding waves, always fighting the waves and partying with particles, making light of it all. Shed light on it and hope more of – it all – comes to mind. Kisstory. Misty eared. No rap, but feedbacks. Rap and music. Word-code and air farts seem words apart. Apples turning over adams applecart on linneaus straat. Identifiction and the visscitudes and multiplexy glass looking class-room. Freedom to roam without sentence law. Rhyme and sense for added spice grinders. No fear of the mis-readings of free bleeding of sense data. From a key-build world of distrubance, dance and good solid meal lies, a good soft meal, solid? I sribble for a bad soft meal, a flabby saft salted peanut walk in the park.

    An orchestral doobie in the dark. No excuse for the digression, my passion awaits trial, selector be my witness, the ground has swollen up like a bumble bee banquet on the balls. Relief from the angles, the ground corners and shaved sides of whats SQUARE. No squares aloud. Still scratching to try and match the hue hatcher of legend untold. In the days of wildfires, child-locks and adult safety checking accounts the accountable are unable to numerically factor the figures in line with the diggers who place daggers in the heart and cripple the face muscles with the squints and turn us into glimpses Mick Jagger. Like a saucepun i can’t handle it. Spilling mistakes my steaks. Thrilling the gates open with fling-a-ling songs and a scavengers desire for a trash palace of the linguage centres, behind the middle grounds of normalford manner, more junk talk, and with a squark and a gobble, gutteral punk, literal junk talk of coca cola and antagonisms, jimpsun weed and spleen reconstructive drama.

    Clean slate and dirty jokes chopped like carrots on marble. Table top to bottom drawer there, i saw a paragraph swinging out the margins of blank. A paragraph dressed in camal-flange and chlorinated. Red betwenen the lights, blue between the sheets and green between the teeth. And the doors are open, i was hoping this would come over last summer or before that, with the wine and rose bud days but no. Never till now, till now, the paragraph comes leaping out from beyond the RULE. Drawing the lines and boundaries of space to fill with free fuzz and buzz, flapping and side-strokes, small wriggle movements and darts to all directions, quarkes and get set. Rumble of trumpet cases in the trunk, funk band on the road, setting off, the words setting sail and finding and window of wind-go.

    Faster sharps and flats recursive recorso distrubance. Royal disturbance and slippery foot turns on the oil perturbances scattered in these skits and bits of rhyme glue. A large sprawling array of how i say it. Nothing in particular just stretching our vernacular wires and antenna out to reach Dracula and Cinema veritae’ The real died yonks ago, who invented the real? So the verb plays out up in the backside of the groove the verb echos the future spaces and past places of outer-crash wave, bounce. To polish the stones they abolish and throw them like snowmen and their balls through walls of debt brick and steel, through air glass shafts of crippled overtones and harmonic shake ups.

    To shake the sky into order and put the starts on the musical stave. Unyour wobbling pivot to measure the class of word-sound honour and the family of whynotwhats and whofortonowwhens – the information that binds the jumble of crumbled noun. Music to unite the crowning glory of story and tale to leave and bright silken routes to follow, pick up, and thread into the inklish boots, laced footwear taken me hostage once agin, on a plane to ubuntu, the words pulling from just aroud a blind corner, the sound of the sentence directs the destiny, but to tackle the rhyme with fix-it substances, and sew up the pristine package for friends and etyms, taking control of roll and reuniting it with rock in a solid foundation. My flow has go on it, goo on blow the nose of knowledge out your assets. Finger mouse creeping under the cat glove in the kitchen – seems to be pushing the limits of sensible writing and shows the down side to freedom of thought and speech, a child’s TV show and a Ikea oven glove fused.

    Like a spark plug in the mouth, the lights are tangy tonight. Crevices and dried up entrances to places only a spider could have known have fell into my scripture, visitors from next door, visitors from across the way, the river side has turned into the water-cider in a drunken tantrum of descriptive lenses. From one side the bath looks opel, from the other coral. The mantra of fish might make for a useful wish in a whales bellyfull of tele-tummy touch table tops. Cable cuts and splices, PING. Crossed wires and fancy foundations of frankly – far and away – flipped fakery. All word comes to this and that, eventually the fuel fails to follow the road and the journey comes to a hault, not mine or yours or anybosy elses but the felt tip feels full and bloated, the felt tip of my finger on this bastard keys, wishing they were LP’s. Letting the wind-up speak. Letting the rumble of word speak and spoke the wheels within gyres within disks. Turn.

  • 51 DEGREES. AUDIO RESPNSIVE AND RETROSPECTIVE.

    CHU ROLLS INTO BIRMINGHAM APRIL 23RD.

    http://www.schudio.co.uk/51/

    New bodies of work on canvas and paper on display in Digbeth, near Birmingham City Centre on Saint George’s day 2009, Thursday April 24th.

    Here’s an extract from the press release:

    Aerosol cans become unstable at 51 degrees, pyramids are built at 51 degrees, secondary rainbows are only visible at 51 degrees, daisies open up to the sun at 51 degrees, and the northern hemisphere begins above the latitude of 51 degrees*. If the graffiti tradition of adopting a number after your tag (similar to Taki 183, from 183rd Street, NYC) then the artist Chu’s number is definitely FIFTY ONE.

    Exploring (literally) new perspectives and embracing computer-aided technologies, Chu’s work has continued to push back the boundaries of graffiti since he first began experimenting with aerosol paint & home computers in the late 1980’s describing his creations as gently reminding us of the everyday conflict between digital and analogue devices.

    This new collection charts a journey in the UK from the town of Walsall to the city of Birmingham, along the A34 road, the flagship route for bus number 51. 12 new paintings and simultaneous, limited edition, screen print releases will be shown alongside a warehouse space containing an installation created specifically for this long awaited comeback show.

    I’ll be displaying all of the studio work I’ve created over the last 12 months, along with a few new vibes aswell. I’ve been working a lot more with tricks-of-the-eye, illusion and site-specific works, aswell as canvases and designs for print.
