A late Christmas surprise from the Kennedy Center in Washington DC! A juicy high-def video walkthrough of the Jumbo Machinder display from the February Japan: Culture + Hyperculture exhibition, heretofore only seen in Bigfoot-sighting-like, blurry photos on this blog.
Shot ten months previously, for some reason it only made it online a few days ago. Forgive any mistakes/stumbles/general idiocy, as I was ambushed by the cameraman and forced to sing a savage tale of polyethylene history at the spur of the moment. It's available for free download from iTunes, split into two parts. Check it out here along with the interviews with architect Tadao Ando, musicians Mayawa Denki, toy artist Shin Tanaka, and more!
Thanks for going over the machinders one at a time. It's amazing at how many of them I recognized....

I watched this with my girlfriend in a remote cabin in the Northern woods of New Hampshire (Mt Washington). It was surreal Matt. haha
