Yet one more reason to check in to Alex Itin's remarkable blog if you haven't recently or ever. As you may have read here several weeks ago, alex started a group on Flickr, The Library Project, for people to post works that have been created by two or more artists, building serially on each other's efforts. Last October Alex posted a beautiful video he made as an homage to the mystical Alpine light know as die alpen lumen. In a nod to the exquisite corpse form of The Library Project, a Japanese artist, Eat A Bug, posted a film he made in response. Serious kudos to alex and all his fellow artists who are demonstrating the power of collaboration and remix culture.

I wanted to see what would happen to those words in Japanese and since bug is an American (of mixed euro/asian ethnicity(ies) teaching English in Japan and now trying to work in Television over there, I thought he'd have an interesting take on the language as much as an intereting visual interpretation. It turned out plain interesting I think... like a music box playing a tune that won't quit your head.
