Everything Is Terrible!’s Memory Hole is back with a new piece of horror video collage made from thousands of real home movies that will turn the viewer’s blood into a viscous, demonic sludge of oil and microplastics. Everyone has been feeling it, but no one has been brave enough to say it outloud… Animals Are Over. It is a depressing truth that must be explored. Our current version of humanity is so shortsighted and clueless as to our own position in Kingdom Animalia that we are destroying all animals, ourselves included for the sake of cheap dopamine blasts and to bolster the profits of a few loser billionaires. You don’t believe us? After seeing this show you will.
Memory Hole is an experimental documentary series brought to you by the minds behind the art collective Everything is Terrible! and a secret, unnameable iconic American media accomplice. Memory Hole is an autopsy of our collective memory. Like time lapse footage of a decomposing animal it is always happening right before your very eyes, yet invisible until sequenced and cataloged. A terrifying multisensory experience, Memory Hole takes actual home movies, recontextualizes and splices them together to take a hard look at what this country has been doing unnoticed in the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. The results are more unsettling than any horror film, creating a snapshot of the eerie precursor to internet fame. This is the origin story of social media, youtube reality stars, and selfies. Memory Hole is an autopsy of our collective pre-internet memory of a culture obsessed with capturing and sharing its own image.
Animals Are Over is as ephemeral as an animal’s life on earth. There will be a small number of VHS and a limited run of live performances and screenings. Once all of the VHS tapes have been distributed EIT! we will delete the video from the internet as well as off all hard drives.
Animals Are Over is scored by Aaron Dilloway, Alfred English, the Brainfeeder Records’ roster, Sikk Laffter and more.
Enjoy your time on earth as an animal while you still can.
