Ubiquitous Funny Cat Video
HD Video , 12 seconds , colour, 2012
During this trip to Calgary, I visited my niece Nicole and met her cat. The cat wanted to chase the strap on my pocket camera so I ran some video as it chased around in a circle. I think the reason we love cat videos is because cats love cameras. This cat loves the camera so much that it is compelled to chase it Later, I was reading a chapter of Hollywood Flatlands and came upon a discussion of Adorno which made me feel that such a trivial video perhaps had importance after all.. "Adorno insists on a silly moment in art - a moment that art cannot escape, even if it tries" (Esther Leslie, Hollywood Flatlands, page 194) VIDEO
