A curious short film over at Ubuweb<\/a> by Chris Marker<\/a>, John Chapman and Frank Simeone, depicting driftwood sculptures at the shore of San Francisco Bay which resemble the remnants of some Ballardian cargo cult. The film was made in 1981 and the sculptures look weathered and dated enough (rainbow stripes; what appears to be a lunar lander) to be products of the early 1970s. The atmospheric soundtrack is reminiscent of Max Eastley’s recordings, some of which use the force of sea-borne winds to generate their sounds.<\/p>\n

And while we’re on the subject of Mr Marker, I hadn’t noticed this Marker-related blog<\/a> before.<\/p>\n
