“Cessez le travail à la chaîne! Enchaînez les idées, les images et le mouvement! Artisans des médias de partout dans le monde, un moment historique est advenu: du temps reculé des scribes jusqu’aux blogueurs, du cinématographe des Lumière jusqu’au dernier cri des cellulaires-caméra, les moyens de production et de distribution sont de nouveau à portée de tous! “
“Bart Hess is working for himself exploring several fields that straddle textile, fashion and animation, these fall within the commercial and art world.”

Friends of Orbit Bright – a racistly-white parody site promoting chewing gum and chastity (sex!). Painfully obvious perpetual brand placements. It’s aimed at (post-)tweeners who believe in god but want to get laid.
Outlook Theatre – a car made glamorous through association with video vignettes of a perfect family and immaculate romantic moments. Light fluffy and efficient consumer waltz. It’s aimed at the wife archetype who wishes she could drive away.
