(Canadian tv reviews our project, October 2001!)

The blind eye project videos are designed to deflect the gaze away from the screen. We've produced two videos this way: preview

exoptic fields "The most advanced consumer product ever designed to deliberately un-consume." More below. more

blind heat

salon.com writup
"film scouts" review

Video that deflects eyes from screens to bodies, producing hotter sex. The video deflects viewers� attention while it illuminates and intensifies physical passions: Be your own movie! (Contains no nudity or sexual acts.) Images and sound by Benton-C, one of New York's premiere live-cinema artists.


exoptic fields by age series

In development: videos designed to deflect rather than attract toddlers and children, 7-12 year olds, another for 12-18 year olds.

(Of course, for children and toddlers, no television is still better than even deflective tv.)



By reversing media's logic of attraction -- media's essential function -- these videos create a point of critical distance. This vantage is completely outside the flux and flow of the global media-sphere and transcends false dichotomies of "good-for-you," "educational" media and "bad," "sensational" media.

When presented as a gift, the videos become an exchange of ideas; the seeds of a new way to look at media itself. Passing a tape to someone else is the Highest Art of the blind eye projects and helps crack the ruling media logic.
