The Prolonged Present
[Burning Briefs] • In this video, Paul D. Miler aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid brings us all the way back to when Burning Man was young and feral with only 4,000 attendees — "the ancient mid-nineties." After a romantic break up, Paul leaves New York to relax and "deprogram." But his attempts are thwarted by Pippi Longstocking's playa-wide hunt to prevent him from playing "commercial music" at the festival. With the help of laser-frisbee wisemen, steaming mud baths, crystal-structured art cars, and an otherwordly sonic landscape, Paul is not only able to relax, but to hit "the reset button on the entire imagination of what [he] even can vaguely think of as America."
