furious milk

Comments Off on furious milk

Was discussing the not-very-well-explained subplot of "mother's milk" in Mad Max: Fury Road with a family member recently.
Yes, what was that all about?
A quick surf around the non-Facebook internet yielded some info:

This site explains the role of breast milk in the film's future barter economy. I guess we could say the movie shows us all this rather than tells it (hey, there's action we have to do here).

A geek wonders if there was a deleted scene explaining the mother's milk.

Another writer develops an elaborate web of ecofeminist theory based on the film's few hints of botched exposition. What the heck -- go for it.

So there you have it.

My residency at Gazell.io (the online component of London's Gazelli Art House gallery) began yesterday.

First post and intro/bio

Second post

Archive with artists who have participated so far (Laura Brothers, Philip Colbert, Hyo Myoung Kim, Giovanna Olmos)

The plan is to stick with a consistent style for a month even if it kills me. It will be a mix of things I've posted here and new work. My bio reads:

Tom Moody is an artist based in New York City, who makes low-tech art with simple imaging programs, scanners, and consumer printers. In his recent work he uses a Linux PC and open source software, “to see what kinds of results and effects I can achieve,” he says. “These are all ‘default’ Linux programs employed here, and drawings made with a tablet rather than the command line.”

I had some more stuff ranting about Apple and Windows but decided to give it a rest.
