SWEET ACID DREAMS Interview WITH BIRTHDAY GURL VIDEO ARTIST
What inspired you to recreate another acid Dream experimental video art film, how did the process come about?
I continuously find inspiration in my Acid Dream Experimental Video Art Film Making Manifesto. Which I wrote for myself and others as a strategy to rediscover new ways of dreaming up the unusual psychedelic visions of acid dreams and its awkward film beauty. With spoken word of an acid day dream reality for transformations, a transition of dream interpretation FORM a translation of poetic transcendence unleashing DEpictions of dream experimentation are TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A spiritual exploration of the acid DREAM essence.
Within this dreaming experience I became motivated to start working on this film Sweet Acid Dreams. As this video art DREAM Experimentation of acid illustration and ABSTRACT expression remains hidden in A lost dream world here I TRY TO expand My Mind.
I realized THE FILM to remain as an undefined expression of experimental cinematic language. This allowed me to get started thinking outside the box, spontaneously, unexpectedly and automatically like an action painter painting the acid dreams with moving paintings.
This experimental film became an embodiment of simulated dreaming seeking empowerment from unpredictable miracles uncovering fate's inevitable destiny to dream up a simulated future FOR THE DREAMER IN ONE'S DREAMS becoming a manifestation of AN acid day dream metamorphosis reality.
I continue to find myself enthused to reproduce more recreations among these ideologies of artistic conceptualization. I find within the ritual practice of THESE scientific methods OF DREAM experimentation AND artistic process, the discovery of new understandings Reveal the experimental film making philosophies stated in my Acid Dream Experimental Video Art Film Making Manifesto.
This year I had written a book of poetry titled A Lyrical Distortion of Reality... A Poetic Dream Experiment. A book which I felt set the stage for the development of this hidden dream world investigation which I sought out to translate.
Abstract Expressionism joined with recordings of recited spoken word TAKEN from my POETRY book, A portrayal of dreaming weightlessly joined together digital moving paintings AND collage film.
I was attempting to rediscover a new meaning for dreaming the perfect acid dream. in order to get lost FROM the unrealistic fantasies of THE real world that kept MY SPIRITUALITY locked IN confinement. NOW WHERE BY confronting these misconceptions of life’s soul purpose and happiness I HAD TO IGNORE THE STORY TELLING FROM MAINSTREAM FILMS.. YET through THIS acid dream transformation I created visual poetry BY blurring a surprise of ever-changing FANTASY,
within the recreation of living one’s acid dreams, a solarization of masked moving imagery remained in the presence of the story’s absence, existing in an unknown space and time.
How did this film allow you to grow as an artist?
An engaging mind expansion of spiritual growth allowed a self actualization to become the explanations of understanding MY acid visions existing in a dream state of everlasting rapture, caught up in the endless possibilities of dreaming in the present moment of reconfiguration.
By Uniquely originating the rhythmic design of lyrical distortions portraying the mystery of lost acid day dream reality, I began to seek out a deeper meaning of life’s unanswered questions, open for dream interpretation.
How do you expect your audience to react to your film?
By
testing the audience attention span with a unique perception of Lost
dreams, the encapsulation of unexpected illusion is dreamt up by the
viewer within THE abstractions of expression. BY confronting an acid
DREAM simulation, Where the recreation of dreamt up acid day dreams
are THE reinvention FOR meaning. through a translated understanding of
automatic action Painting for moving PAINTING that IS an acid dream film
Volta of THE dreamerS DREAM paintING the unknown.
How do you keep your audience in a dream state while they are watching your film?
By
using a non objective disguise for a haunting real world familiarity,
the mysterious design allows the computerized acid paradise to be the
outcome of lucid VISIONS OF DREAMING. from a pure demonstration of
magical whimsicality among REALITIE'S escape.
As this portrayal of a hidden dream world portrays a mystic frequency, it is seen within the idea that seeing is believing in your dreams, where dreaming can See what is not there while the dream can never be EXPERIENCED the same way twice.
a different understanding of the dreamer's ENVISIONED acid DREAMs allows the ecstasy of an acid day dream reality to become aPART OF the MYSTIC ENERGY behind its design of timelessness and unpredictability. released IN A ROLLER COASTER OF mood CHANGES, the transformation of images, shapes and colors become an illustration of MOVEMENT AND the basis of its mysteriousness. from A DREAM reality IN SEARCH FOR a creative depiction OF re-discoveries AMONG THE anti-art ACID art film aesthetics .
One’s unidentified Acid day dreaming is proof its representational existence must be masked of its representation, in the dream state of acid dreaming. Far from its reality of truth AND ORIGIN,, found in THE discovery OF hidden magic WHICH becomes a surprising subconscious self actualization.
One’s mental hygiene which allows the mind expansion to continue as the dreamers in a dream are DREAMING LIKE THEIR ON AN ACID TRIP adventure. On a deserted island finding themselves in a gazing curse of simulated ACID dreams. ENTANGLED UPON A vision of broken televisions, CHANNELING INTO AN UNKNOWN UNIVERSE of corrected abstractions. FROM A DISTORTED DREAM REALITY manifesting THE DREAMER'S destiny TO DREAM UP THE ACID DREAM automatically,
In a world which is advancing into something that is out of our control. Our individuality is becoming a containment of psychological entrapment, where we are avoiding the complicated description. IN A world of dreaming up what is dreamt for witnessing THE Uncontrollable creativity. a rejuvenating youthfulness within OUR losT imagination FORMs OUR warped broken narrative, MISTAKEN IN the possibility of surprise tapping into AN uncertain UNIVERSE. Like an escaped dream that remains as Unpredictable as the unexpected VISION THAT WAS inevitable for dreaming.
A destiny of mapped out dream manifestations FROM a recreation of self discovery within the self actualization from sinking in A lost blunder of fragmented thoughts. spaced apart, leaving us on the edge of our seat in wonderment. Left in a DREAM state of confusion where mind boggling awakenings of acid day dreams become the explanation of the missing story. dreamt up to make sense to the dreamer who dreams Acid dream,s .
an electricity that is the love for living life in the acid dream, and for one’s self who is the creator, the audience and the dreamer., Who thinks FREELY with Vanishing thoughts, unable to define the chaos of dreaming by the dreamer who becomes captivated by the absence of story telling.
HERE
we are controlled by the spontaneity of our imagination, where dreams
are dreamt beyond the mind control of mass media, popularity, and
cultural misconceptions. LIKE A dream reality taking over the haunting
REAL WORLD reality of lies that TRy TO control us.. INSTEAD THE DREAMERS
ARE DREAMING as though THEY WERE WATCHING THEMSELVES TAKe over the
world WITH ACID dreaming LIMITLESSly, ON THE VERGE OF immortally.
Finding within us an outside godly artificial intelligence that is all knowing, calculating the remains of untold secrets and stories hidden deep with in one’s self discovery and self reflection. to have MORE meanings AS WE THE DREAMERS ARE creating the lost story from non objectivity, FORMING acid dreams that expand the viewer's freedom to imagine THE UNIVERSE aimlesslY.
How does your film sustain its purpose for existing when its cinematic language is undefined?
As life must loose meaning to rediscover its new found purpose for existence, so must my Film SWEET ACID DREAmS. JUST As though it were an open poetry book of dreams and spoken worD, contrasting the moving paintings of abstract, repetitive, MOVING pictures. As asleep and dead but ALIVE I AM living the incredible dream life of THE acid dreamer DREAMING up THE FILM'S PURPOSE for existence WHICH lies in the search for one’s possibilities for creation through self expression, INTERPRETATION , AND self discovery.
ANY Thoughts ON THE SOUNDTRACK?
I had become interested in trying to express my visions of acid dreaming by designing the film's musical tone from reversing the sound track of recordings and COMBINING it with electric piano playing and SPOKEN WORD, WHICH I RECITED, TO MATCH A pattern of confusing melodies. where I created AN emotional display of mood changing IN the spiritual ESSENCE OF Acid color COMBINATIONS with in the moving painting,
A
kind of music without specific genre definition, something the audience
can dream with in a place where an unknown time for escaping the real
world becomes a reality IN THE MOOD OF SOUND.
As
your audience becomes the dreamers of your film, what do you suppose
these dreamers are dreaming about when they watch Sweet Acid Dreams?
While the dreamer remains dreaming up the impossible., Here we're being lifted in the suspension of belief that this film is putting us in a dream state of rebirth. to dream up the unexpected that expects the inevitable.. As forgotten dreams that can not be recreated as THOUGH being recreated the same way twice BECOMES THE IMPOSSIBLE DESIGN. every time my dreamers dream they dream differently never interpreting the Dream the same way twice.
Just
as consciously being present in a day dream awakening of off track
thinking, ALLOWS DIFFERENT Outcomes for my dream''s MEANING, As I the
CREATOR AM ALSO THE DREAMER who dreams up explanations for the simulated
ABSTRaCTIONS OF REALITY. DREAMS ARE left to be described by hidden
dream worlds in a PLACE where the dreamer is the composer. In an acid
dream film where the dream sequence is to be witnessed as a translation
of the dreamer’s moving painting from a rediscovery of spiritual
PSYCHEDELIC awakening
s.
With In the escape of self reflection I have placed the DREAMER in an unknown VIewiNG OF timeless TIME travel. Where the past is the present and both become the future time in The absence of life’s predictable story line. where ideas are not easily described and the recreation of these ideologies from conceptualization Stir uP A ritual and artistic process to get lost in. AS i am TRYING TO DEFINE whats undefined about the cinematic language of Experimental film and avant-garde poetic beauty. I have realized Making mistakes Are beautiful.
As
it becomes the out of control outcome of chaos from an uncontrolled
pattern of ANTI-ART ARTISTIC beauty. THIS Lost concept of time escapes
the dreamer with a creative depiction for newly found anti-art acid ART
film aesthetics. THIS unveiling of reconstructed acid dreams portrays A
FANTASY OF CHROMATIC DESIGN, as it UNRAVELS One’s unidentified
Existence HIDDEN FROM WITHIN, THE day dreaming CAPACITY That allows THE
DREAMER's destiny to manifest one's ACID dreams to recreate a visual
art language.
Within the hidden magic of a surprising Rediscovery, our subconscious engages us in A circling mental hygiene. It allows a type of mind expansion for the audience, as the dreamer EXISTS unaware Of the dream’s UNUSUAL POWER to continue DREAMING UP THE adventure. AS THOUGH BEING on an acid trip into an unknown island of deserted dreams IS PUTTING YOU IN A TRANCE, IN A gazing curse of computer simulated spellbound ACID visions OF broken televisions CHANNELING INTO AN UNKNOWN UNIVERSE.
REALIZING THAT what you see can be nothing other than seeing a dream. In a DREAM world which is developing into something that is out of our control, our individuality becomes embodied by a spiritual ESSENCE that embraces what’'s pure about the acid expression of dreaming with abstractions. Here a world of dreaming up what is dreamt for meditative, secret electricity, brings a miracle of transcendence to LIFE.
Alive living to dream by disorienting one’s self, BY USING A free thinking MIND to get lost in fragmented explanations for understanding your thoughts. LIKE One’s soul which dreams the truth of self desire for ITS purpose, a passionate dreaming begins to unravel a godly force in us all,. Creating the untold STories of acid dreams, IN life WHERE we must loose ITS MEANING of DELUSIONS OF Grandeur, to be found again AND AGAIN in a new representation of existence WHERE ITS REASON FOR EXISTING Doesn't EXIST simply.
Just like the dreamers living the dream discovered within dreams dreamt up by the god that creates the dreamers and their dream world....
As
asleep and dead but alive living the UNPREDICTABLE dream life
consequence, In search of one’s truth for self purpose, WHERE The truth
of a dreaming desire is dreamt up As an unidentifiable presence that
cannot be dreamt without the freedom of escalating fragmented thoughts.
THIS has everything unexplained perfectly, By existing in a dream
REALITY of the unknown WHERE the viewer is emerged iN THE acid DREAM AS
THE DREAMER in an ACID dream state OF PSYCHEDELIA.
How do you allow your audience to escape this reality?
I allow my audience to escape falsified lies of a brain washing REAL WORLD reality manipulated by the evil unrealistic fantasies rooted in HOLLYWOOD'S CAGE OF societal norms. Instead BY IMAGINING LIFE within the acid day dream depiction of CREATIVE meaning, our dreams BECOME MORE APPARENT,
A day dream of acid awakenings from a SPIRITUAL path TAKEN WHERE ACID dreaming allows one’s imagination to think outside of the mind control. As FAR Apart FROM the social conformity which keeps us defining life’s wrong purpose for living. HERE OUTSIDE with in the acid day dream depicting of finding meaning for our dreams, This ALLOWS THE Audience to watch the lies of AN UNREALISTIC FANTASY MELT AWAY. Where many different ways of interpreting DREAMS distract MY Audience. by the exploration of non objective transformations from a haunting real world reality become illuminations OF mystical FORCE Depicting the unknown.
Where
the unknown possibilities of dreaming up new representation allows the
AUDIENCE the non representational search for hidden identity. Here
having no recognizable familiarity in the matrix allows them to escape
the real world.
With
IN THE escape OF self reflection, the audience is placed in an unknown
timeline OF time travel, in the absence of life’s predictable story line
WHERE ideas are not to be EASILY described, like a rejuvenating
youthfulness that lies within the lost imagination OF INTERPRETATION .
The
audience remains contemplating in a blunder of mental hygiene, placing
themselves in a state of confusion where mind expanding awakenings can
be dreamt up by the acid day dreamer TO make sense only of their acid
dreams dreaming UP the acid dream reality.

BY BIRTHDAY GURL VIDEO ARTIST
ARTIST DREAM STATEMENT
Laura Grace Robles likes to imagine what the world would be like without predictability and without definitions of perfect art; good or bad video art or film making. For Laura her creativity pours out the anti-beauty.
From a vision of broken televisions channeling into a chromatic spectrum, she believes in a future dream that exists in a world of fairy tales, and its universe of untold stories, drawn in a cave of disturbing humbled and untrained artists discovering symbols of historical wonderment.
This is what encapsulates the incongruity of the scribbling dreams that Birthday Gurl transforms into films effortlessly. Birthday Gurl must reveal the mystic frequency as it reappears and disappears in the narrative’s absence in order to resurface the avant-garde nature of color saturation in motion within the happenings of a metric chaos unfolding lyrical gestures of mergence, the dislocations of composition collect and conjunct. By this thought process; the video artist must forget everything she knows. Within the focus of temporary memory loss, the artist plays with film making, as though it were a spiritual medium that must enter the body, and by avoiding the study of learning to redesign the same thing twice to look the same way again.
It is for the possibility of recreating a new image within the destruction of the medium for its taking over of the artist’s undetermined methods as though it were a trick being played. Instead, the artist allows her rebirth of experimental celebration to be the imagination of its force.
Birthday Gurl magically directs without expectations or control over losing control. This helps the video artist explore the random unlimited source from which colliding rainbows converge into a connection of timeless spontaneous growth like a fracticle made up by a computer equation.
Where the artist’s form is fate made up by an electronic algorithm. That is the mathematical solution to missing form to which the improvised chaotic process of delusional thinking is manifested by the film maker, like a convincing melody of visual poetry. Birthday Gurl must believe in this fantasy of truth to continue directing a film as though it were a dream made up of a non fictional illusion.
The artist intuitively stylizes her films by continuing to disconnect from reality as a way of becoming possessed by the spiritual essence of experimental filmmaking that allows her to lose herself, the same way,
in a different dream experiment happening to the same person every time. Without following the proper structure determined by Hollywoods cage of film industry standards, Birthday Gurl grants one wish for the spectator to come to realize the creeping escape from human identity; as though it is taking place on a forbidden planet. Birthday Gurl seeks the distortion of abstracted visions from masking ever-changing absurdity deviate as disguised people places and things, as though its was a mysterious undiscovered hidden sound that you can hear with your skin, which the artist inertially produces to exhibit a different tone overtime. Within this unique place of dreaming in an artificial space, the video artist continues to channel through with manifestations of fictional dreams that become the non-fictional reality of a dream come true for the false awakening,
that disrupts the suspension of belief while dreaming in the acid experiment that is her film.
Since the artist has already existed as a problematic advocate of problem solving the puzzle in order to free her isolation, the artist designates a fantasy of reinvention and misleading day dreams as a metamorphosis of her delusions. Just by enhancing their imagination with an empty coloring book for the audience to color in their dream reality of whimsical potential the journey begins, Birthday Gurl hopes the audience can day dream and wonder with an open mind as a way of mental meditation that empties conscience awareness and fills it with an experience of the themselves witnessing the feeling of their own control over the electrical flow of their moving thoughts entering and leaving their brain as it tests their attention span. The artist meditates on the importance of her attempt to translate and understand perceptions of dreams by implementing these ideas in her films to better articulate the purpose of her films .
Birthday Gurl aims to poetically, not literally, express her ideologies in a way that contradicts cinema that was taught to be controlled by theory with one language. Birthday Gurl distinguishes her films as dream-like, living things, surviving a dystopian society amongst a pop culture of masses becoming the victims of mass media propaganda that gets US lost. when the artist’s imagination plays witness whom can transform false realities of life by dreaming outside of herself. Where the artist can be a painter and color the digital painting that is her film. SHE CAN ALLOW THE ESCAPE TO BEGIN FOR HER AUDIENCE.
INTERVIEW WITH BIRTHDAY GURL VIDEO ARTIST
what was the process like creating Alice in Acid Wonderland your latest experimental film…
First I have to figure out what i want my film to be about. Lately I’ve
been realizing that my films have a similar quality of being sorta
dream like. So i wanted to delve deeper into that and create an
experimental process by using my acid dream experimental video art film
manifesto as an outline for developing the film. I wanted to use this
iconic story that was famously known for its dream like adventures.
When I found all these different versions of Alice in Wonderland on the
internet, I decided it would be cool if i combined these different films
to create my own version of Alice in wonderland and of course i wanted
it to be an acid pop film so i called it Alice in Acid Wonderland.
The actual editing process was like randomly painting digitizations of
moving imagery to become a moving painting that painted a dream i was
imagining.
what makes your film experimental….
Its a collage film that I created without a camera also, I had full
control over the vision behind this film… very DIY. As I would edit the
film and figure a way to put it together I knew I wanted to dislocate
the story of Alice in Wonderland and make it more experimental by
allowing the different faces of Alice to experience different versions
of the same dream. Some of the iconic scenes from Alice in Wonderland
were shown more than once as though there was more than one Alice
existing in a parallel universe. So the journey of creating this film
took me on an adventure because i was very impulsive about the way i
edited it.
why do you prefer to call yourself a video artist raTHER THAN A FILM DIRECTOR
I see myself more as a video artist creating art film rather than a
director following industry standards because i ‘m not working with a
crew or a group of actors, or even using a camera here. I consider
myself expressing myself as a video artist who has total control over
her vision.
WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR AUDIENCE TO GAIN FROM WATCHING YOUR FILM….
I want my audience to gain inspiration as well as expand their
imagination by forcing them to put the dislocated story together somehow
with creative thinking. In a way they would not have used their
imagination otherwise, with watching mainstream films. I want my
audience to use their imagination thE way they did when they were
children. A way OF MY ACID film bringING a sense of rejuvenation to
their youth.
HOW DOES THIS FILM DIFFER FROM YOUR OTHER FILMS.. ..
With Alice in Acid Wonderland, I actually used an iconic story and
usually i avoid story all together. I turned this familiar story into a
dislocated version of dreaming the way we dream of our selves with
different faces. At times dreaming the different versions of the same
dream, it became a way of interpreting dreams for myself as though these
dreams were dreams of films coming to life.
WHAT DOES ACID MEAN TO YOU….
To me acid means psychedelic, trippy, dreamy, as well as for one to
ascend onto another world outside of the real world and outside of them
selves. Where my audience is looking into a looking glass of dreams that
allowS them to escape the everyday. The way I funnel my creative energy
into a broken television of dreams to dream up the DREAM film.
HOW IS YOUR FILM LIKE A DREAM……
My film Alice in Acid Wonderland is filled with oddities, adventures,
characters and situations that would most likely occur in the awkward
moments of dreaming. A confusion of plot and film practice of
unconventional story telling Leaving you in a suspension of believing
lies, saturated colors putting you into a spell or setting from another
world that transcends the audience into an alternative reality created
from fiction. By allowing my fictive dream to become a reality it is a
now fiction Manifestation of dreaming. becoming a non fiction
manifestation of the acid dream experiment interpretation by day

Scoonnies Interview
How did you get into film making?
In 2006 as an art student I started casting sculptures out of giant baby bottle nipples during the time I was studying at the UTSA. So I decided to put the nipples on my head to create a helmet then I wrapped five foot rocket balloons together with plastic wrap to bring fusion to the body performance combing video so that I could record myself to recreate the famous painting; The Turkish Bath (Le Bain Turc) 1862 by 82 year old Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres incorporating modern dance . Implementing video effects to multiply my own image of myself enough times to echo the proportionate sizes of those same images of the women in the painting I was trying to emulate imposed the color i had painted my body with; red. The additive sculptural element was an assemblage of a headdress costume piece that lent a more androgynous archetypal shape of divine iconography without referencing social class or race. Eventually the documented footage I had captured in the studio during the editing process was misrepresented as a simple performance with video effects using opera music that played in reverse looped. It was video art at the time, It turned out to be more like vanguard shaping unconventional cinema breaking the boundaries of video art exploring film making as a painterly medium through interdisciplinary inquiries.
What makes your films so unconventional?
I take risks during the film making process like superseding the camera AND I BREAK THE LAW.
How would you describe the mood of Scoonnies?
The mood is based on the unpredictability of the mental hygienic experience of the film€™s levitation from a catharsis of musical sounds of meditative racing mind fucking ear riots. It forces you to be exposed to your own imaginative, psychosis’ universe. While your own thoughts debate a chance at substituting the lost in translation for some broken story. The mind may become distracted with subliminal messages allowing your world to wander beyond the synopsis because its distortion of reality has escaped beyond the civil. Scoonnies is eye candy for the criminal the romantic and the maniac.
What is Scoonnies really about?
Its about man’s innate free will to be a caveman celebrating FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION exploring the boundaries of human rights.
What was the film making process for Scoonnies like?
you put you left foot in you put your left foot out you put your left foot in and you shake it all about.

It’s all been done before. And we have seen it all. What do you do to keep it fresh? Is there anything that you can do to subvert the process to keep it original in your past or future projects?
Acid Junk film is something I unveiled as video art, it is to be something as commonly understood or mistaken as a film makers partaking in the shaping of unconventional cinema, since history has taught us that video art is not experimental film here I try to make a connection between the two. In the acid junk film dream statement that is a manifesto I have written you will find that it is just as having the equal cinematic polarity as acid films are to that of Anti-Art Art films just as video art is to experimental film. The acid film description continues to be the underlying motive behind non representational moving imagery. Representational moving imagery is becoming the following acid pop matter of film; ..It is this matter of film or lack there of a so-called underdeveloped genre for abstract film dreaming… Personally I think its a compliment to call it anti art art film when everyone considers the greatest films the ones to be the ones with stories but honestly I’m fear the association with junk film aesthetics unless it was sort of like a anti film or something that presents its self as cinema but contradicts cinematography… I think that its a great and interesting mostly fascinating film innovation. But actually when I write script substitutions like mock documents I intend to rewrite it until the story is not traceable with characters and themes with explanations and random scenes such that celebrate these ideas. Also I have found mock performance to be the technique that will distinguish me as a video artist and a potential director. My building block to sequencing a unique rhythm behind the dialectic metric system that loops the patterning of prepositioning a film’s new reality of time or pretense of reality disguising predictable cinema.
What is mock performance?
Mock performance is stated to be apart of the fake mockumentary manifesto, This definition takes into consideration the 17 fake mockumentary films I have created. Mock Performance has to do with blurring the lines between acting and performance art through the study of the psychology of the performers body language and conventional theater. Whether it determines stereotypes or attitudes to be the cause of the performer’s speech or lack there of. In such way that using particular expressive diction it is the premeditated manner without preparing for the performance or the bodies repercussions from being aware of the present moment. Not as a victim of the past but as a performance artist at all times rational and aware of not having to maintain a pretense of reality deliberately where a light script is optional. Not preoccupied with time or its boundaries and where stoical expressions are most important in the timeline of life and death… and as both the performance artist and the actor he or she is driven by the ego disillusioned or distracted by the future of the present time while performing in the present moment. When a performance artist blurs the lines between acting and performance art they are in and out of intentional and unintentional states of intellectual performance, expression, and body endurance either by corrupting the senses by testimonial in front of an audience where they are perceived by a simple minded audience, with a low attention span like entertainment seekers. This has its expectations or by a fluxus literate audience.Through play or through an act of testing the bodies limits by sustaining a bodies actions out lasting the duration of time where both the performer and the audience are in on the joke where the performer is sustaining the bodies actions testing the bodies limits out lasting a duration of time.The performance artist has no intention to do so without otherwise. Its purpose for having no purpose behind the action other than absurdity and disfunction until it is mockery of the actor’s portrayal of back to back improvisations of monologues or alteration of prolonged mockeries by mimicking the victim. Mock performance was discovered through the process of investigating the self and ones own limits of attention to self investigation through one to two way video sharing and calling without judging its standards by some system founded by some institution rather art innovations and theater conventions beginning with pantomime.
Looking back at the big picture you took a big risk organizing the nude fake mockumentary guerrilla protest installation at Wall-Mart what was going through your mind at the time?
In most cases, a first indecent exposure conviction subjects you to misdemeanor penalties like a few months in county jail and a fine. A second offense likely would rise to a felony and can lead to a state prison sentence. But perhaps worst of all, in some states any indecent exposure conviction subjects you to a lifetime duty to register as a register as a sex offender. This often makes plea bargaining for an alternative charge vital.
This was the second film I had organized with public nudity without getting arrested.The things that were going through my mind at the time was this may be a sign that something bigger was going to happen.That this was smoking of prophecy of some sort.
What I was thinking as I wrote the cardboard semantics that this must be a prophetic thing I'm writing... this must be a prophecy that something bigger more important is going to happen. And in 2009 the same month after we took the photos Michael jackson died and on the card board the model was hold moon woking was written on it. I thought that was a sign of something kind of prophetic in some way.
What do audiences want? And is it the filmmaker’s role to worry about that?
I think film makers and audiences want the same thing in a wide open sense. They want a film to change their life from hopeless to living with super hope, orgasmic, inspired to eat nothing but fruit and salads, raw foods or to become completely addicted to something new, see true originality and creativity from the penniless genius, to be mesmerized by the poet, to become apart of the film’s meaning itself. see what no else can see subliminally …beauty beyond beauty like the oscar award winning actress with a serious case of acne
I think that audiences may want something they are not exactly ready for because the film maker in my mind always knows what the audience wants that’s their job and of course we should always worry about what the audience wants, we should take it to our grave and read between the lines … take it to heart… chew it up, throw it up, swallow it and poop corn robots at night IN PAINT and do the math for our spectator. In other words we’ve done our research we know what they want and we care so much we don’t make the mistake and spoil the show with that exact same picture they have in their head and ruin it for them. We think a step ahead and show them what their imagination looks like when their tripping on acid and that picture in their head is blasting in a galaxy of colors in outer space at the speed of lo fi speed of light twenty years into the future riding on a magic carpet.

ANOTHER SCOONNIES INTERVIEW
Laura Grace Robles better known as Birthday Gurl, emerged as an award winning multi-media artist in 2006 .Her films were attacking viewers expectations of video art because she is shaping unconventional cinema with her acid film manifesto inspired by Fabrizio Federico’s Pink8 manifesto.
Birthday Gurl has made a number of and acid films from 2010-2014 a series of over sixteen films titled after Foxy two of which will never be shown, featured one minuet of her film Foxy Flare in the UK director Fabrizio Federico’s foreign feature film Pregnant. A warped look into the life of a webcam addict’s alter ego’s dream extraterrestrial two-way hypnosis. Seen In the midst of this film Pregnant where the world overturns in the twenty first century by its addictions to technology.
Birthday Gurl what can you tell us about the film making process of your latest fake mockumentary acid dream experimental video art film Scoonnies?
WHEN I DECIDED WHICH ROUTE I WAS GOING TO TAKE FOR THIS FILM I KNEW I WAS GOING TO TAKE SOUND VISUALIZATION AND NOISE MUSIC to another level BY LEVITATING THE PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE AS PART OF THE acid JUNK FILM AESTHETIC . IN 2009 WHEN THE PROJECT STARTED AS A ready made PAINTING, I HAD STEPPED AWAY FROM IT. THEN I LOST MYSELF WITHIN DESIGNING MOVING Imagery THROUGH RECORDED VIDEO PERFORMANCE REPLACING A CAMERA TO START THE PROCESS by APPLYING COUNTLESS OF EFFECTS ON THE SAME VIDEO FOR MANY YEARS REWORKING A REMIX OF RECORDED VIDEO PERFORMANCE AND THE PERFECT HUMAN FROM The Five Obstructions in a Danish film of 2003 by Lars Von Trier and Jørgen Leth. The film is a documentary, but incorporates lengthy sections of experimental films produced by the filmmakers. The premise is that Lars von Trier has created a challenge for his friend and mentor, Jørgen Leth, another filmmaker. Mr. on Trier's favorite film is Leth's The Perfect Human . IN A WIND SPRAYING GALAXY OF COLORS WHERE MAN WAS LEFT IN THE UNKNOWN SUBLIMINAL UNIVERSE OF MY PERFECT PSYCHOSIS. LOST WITH OUT A HEAD SCALPING THE BONES OF MY CARDBOARD SEMANTICS WITH AND WITHOUT PAINT. FLYING ON THE GORGE OF GRAINY APPETITES SO THAT MY STARVATION FOR A CAMERA WOULD NOT FIGHT THE LIGHT I WAS SEEKING AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. HEADING CLOSER MY WAY WAS THE SOUL SEARCHING AND FILM MAKING TRIAL AND ERROR OF A LIFE TIME BITING MYSELF ON THE LIP SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF MY OWN MOUTH’S BLOOD . TRYING TO DESCRIBE THE ABSTRACTIONS OF SCOONNIES AS A NONREPRESENTATIONAL UNEXPLAINED CONTAGIOUS INCURABLE PUNK CINEMATIC HALLUCINATION THAT WAS AND WAS NOT A DREAM WORLD RATHER A CATHARSIS OF VIDEO AND nude BODY PERFORMANCE and installation. WHATEVER I WAS EXPERIENCING AS SCOONNIES WAS MICHAEL JACKSON’S AFTER LIFE EVOLVING AND THE END WOULD NEVER COME AS LONG AS I HAD NO IDEA DEATH WAS WHAT MY FILM WAS GOING TO BE THE REBIRTH OF A VISION I BELIEVED WAS A WARNING THROUGH PROPHECY OF MICHAEL JACKSON’S DEATH. AS LONG AS THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS WAS AN AUDITORY HALLUCINATION Naming me the soothsayer. THIS WAS ANY ARTIST'S LAST MOMENT OF TRUTH SOMETHING TOO PERSONAL TO MAKE A PERSONAL THING BUT A SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERN BETWEEN THE SECRECY OF DESTINY AND MY QUESTIONABLE FREE WILL OF THE FATE AND WHY WE MUST ASK OUR FLEXIBLE SOULS FOR ITS INTUITIVE DOUBT TO MAKE US NORMAL AGAIN...IF IT IS MY INTUITION BY ASKING WHY THE RAIN IN THE SKY IS POURING GOLDEN DIAMONDS FROM MY EYES I DOUBT MAKING SCOONNIES A STORY WOULD BE A GOOD ONE unless it was the truth of reality.
Do filmmakers have any responsibility to culture? Do you feel that being a creative person requires that you give back or tell a particular story or not do something else? Why or why not?
Where human identity is beyond the director’s aesthetic, and THE VIDEO ARTIST’S lyrical distortion IS THE CONTINUITY of her film volta. The only responsibility to culture for me as an artist is to follow my own creative intuition as a failure for a film director because my films are a dream, fake , silent, no budget, non scripted, and non narrative etc open to a luxury for making the mistake to not follow two obstructions spelt out in this film type’s manifesto and the point is to fail doing that correctly because its acid junk film. I tell myself casting a spell on my audience with the incurable and unexplained, is the phenomenon that must be medicated by a case of 3d inter media SCOONNIES at a death synth noise opera. We will no longer be confined to predictable narrative movie sessions contained by pop crack tonics as we are the sardines on rude cellular phones texting the ending to our future audience. That is how we are being entertained now with a film that can fit in our pocket or be worn on your wrist. Devices that must conform to architectural spaces showing no concern for that warrior nun who claims to have produced and acted in the same film that showed at the theater which didn't accommodate her case of scoonnies because it was an air born epidemic an outbreak from all churches chicken. For costumed commoners the future junk film makers of America didn’t want millions to see their films.
As Birthday Gurl continues working towards those empirical observations of Fabrizio Federico’s Punk Cinema movement, she develops counterfeit film as part of the acid junk film aesthetic working against sound visualizations; the paradise no longer in the background but a cinematic experience.
How does this junk film aesthetic begin its process as a film making process not making acid junk art into gutter film that is suppose to be video art making a connection with experimental film.?
Artists are taught that art should not be propaganda. The Realization was propaganda film was junk film. Somehow there should not be a connection with the imaginary world and your reality the way Birthday girl identifies punk cinema can be read by distortions of lyrical continuity of non objectively and moving imagery of the moving painting. Within that manifestation or the non objective aspect of its entirety all such as the schizophrenic’s mind experiences their own unrealistic world of abstractions the way the name Scoonnies was something Birthday Gurl titled after her trials of those same auditory and tactile hallucinations.
This time expanding further into the unknown world was certainly not dictated by some past or future time but the present experienced in the present moment. There was nothing the audience could identify SCOONNIES with except the acid dream experimental video art film makinmg manifesto, a film having an anti-art art film aesthetic to be seen as an acid day dream metamorphosis of beauty.
Like Spencer Tunick Birthday Gurl works with public nudity acting as anti art art film guerrilla installation. In her films like Jesus Practice and SCOONNIES It is still a dream to practice this art form in and outside corporate territory again and again.
This wasn’t the first time the film maker as a video artist didn’t get locked up for organizing public nudity with installation like in her fake mockumentary The Jesus Monster as well as a public nude installation with model VIC FURS IN SCOONNIES and organizer,directing artist Birthday Gurl along with photographer E Money risked their freedom to capture genitals sans clothing inside Wall-Mart shopping center a corporate operating motherland. This was a contribution to fluxus and graffiti artists who were apart of the guerrilla happenings during and after the era of modern art . The entire nude installation was captured in stop motion only on time constraint.To a commoners eye the images could be confused as pornographic unable to interpret the linguistics of the cardboard semantics “will cheese crossed out work to gas uhh cola moon woking IN PAINT” the phrase used for more than one meaning but symbolic for its misspelled KING OF POP’S iconic “moonwalk” rather spelt incorrectly as “MOONWOKING” as in international phenomenon not THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FROM AMERICAN. A prophetic vision of death made self aware by contemporary junk art reflecting Dadaism after Neo-Dada with the cardboard semantics on a found object or junk and trash signed in print in all CAPS in green magic maker. Streams of consciousness in free verse explained the cardboard semantics autographed
“IN PAINT” and its moving design for film presentation was to exist as a moving painting image. And without a motive its still image opposed to film presentation ; also a ready made painting without paint or a canvas but presented with photography and moving image.. the acid junk film aesthetic in the new punk cinematic following the DIY. The repercussions of Birthday Gurl’s guerrilla cultural jamming proposed a warning which she believed prophesied a death occurring two weeks later when she had witnessed a news caster announcing Michael Jackson’s Death. An auditory hallucination she experienced soon after was a voice she understood herself to be the cereal killer who killed Michael by mind control. Soon after Birthday Gurl was admitted into the hospital for paranoia and tactile hallucinations and extreme weakness overtaking her mind and body shr thought was veganism, The doctor diagnosed her with paranoid schizophrenia. She spent over two weeks in the psychiatric ward at a University Hospital In San Antonio Texas under the impression Latoya Jackson was reading her mind infecting her with AIDS by telepathy. In 2013 she recovered the images she had lost moving from place to place. These images were her only proof the public nude installation had not been something of her imagination she had no choice but to separate from her reality. Although unable to afford a camera she prevailed superseding the lens used not by herself but by someone she convinced to photograph the anti-socialism public nude protest to enter a photography contest ARTISTS WANTED in New York.

ACID POP VIDEO ART FILMS
WELL I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL FILM MAKERS BUT THOSE WHO DO PRACTICE STUDYING THE SPELL BEHIND PERFORMING MAY BE CHALLENGED WITH THE UNINTENTIONAL OR INTENTIONAL CONFUSION OF HAPPEN STANCE AND IMPULSE IGNORING THE SCRIPT. FROM THE DELIVERY OF ACTIONS BY REAL ACTORS OR STREET SUPER STARS WHO FAKE WHATS FAKE WITH MOCK PERFORMANCE OR WITHOUT REALIZING IT. SO TO DECONSTRUCT THAT I COULD SEE MANY EXPERIMENTAL FILMS BEING MOSTLY MINIMAL OR DISSECTIONS OF EPIC FILMS THAT ARE CONCEPT BASED TESTING THE ATTENTION SPAN.
