Action half life
Rare Books
"The best way to understand the computer collages of the group AES + F, 'Action Half Life' would be to start with a description of the work. A mimance of children, frozen in white uniform, postured in picturesque video game stance, blasters in hand, are sprinkled in static anticipation of an unseen foe amidst desert debris reminiscent of Star Wars battle scenes. The picture is intently beautiful as if a fashion photo ... Action Half Life, while note stressing the politico-futurologic, rather presents the future as an already experienced metaphysical reality. The word 'reality' has become applicable to the future, and we think it and sense it every second. At the very least, the future as present reality is a Divine promise ... 'Action Half Life' is no less potential and poignant, and perhaps even more substantive. The future is indefinite and undefinable. In an era when almost everyone lives on the dividends that are traded against the future, this indefiniteness cannot but engender a neurotic alarm and tremor. It is exactly this tremor that stirs in the image of 'Action Half Life'"--From introduction.
