The American artist Raymond Pettibon originates from the punk scene. His little brother foundedthe punk band Black Flag, and Raymond designed the Black Flag logo and other parafernalia for the band.
Myself, I only knew him from the cover of the album Goo by Sonic Youth.
At least as good at making photo's, he is at talking about making photo's. And he is very good at making photo's...
Yesterday I viewed this old video created probably when Douglas Coupland's book Generation-A appeared.
Coupland is lying on the sofa, and is interviewed by a female computer voice. The voice reminds me of the movie Her (which I started watching two times, but never managed to finish). The interview with Coupland is regularly interrupted for weird advertisements for Channel 3 (We Speak Your Language) and the drug SOLON CR (It's me time). I only vaguely remembered the SOLON CR reference from the book; all I am sure about is that the book is about bees going extinct. But the Internet tells me my memory is correct. SOLON CR is a medicine prescribed"for the short-term treatment of psychological unease grounded in obsession in thinking about the near and distant feature."
