Doug Aitken's Sleepwalkers @ MoMA

Anyone see it?

I did, on a cold and windy night. It was sort of beautiful.

I parked the whip outside and watched it for a couple of minutes. My first impression was that it was way too slick and polished. Looked less like a conceptual video art piece or short film, and more like an MTV gen music video, "my other job is a director of car commercials", piece of junk that could have been made by some hybrid combo of Chris Cunningham, Mike Mills, and Spike Jonze...

But I'm too harsh a critic. I actually loved the concept when I read his interview, and I think that's where the dissapointment stemmed from.

All that aside though, it features my future wife...so no love lost there.
