Massive 8
BDO - Why would anyone in their right mind make a volcano?
M8 - You can't. It's not like anyone can make a volcano. The volcano Is an expression of the power of the natural world. Volcanoes are a rupture in the earth's crust. So we're talking about something that's bigger than NASA's space station, Grollo's very long elevator shafts. Something that goes deeper than cyber space. It Is a unpredictable disaster waiting to happen and will disrupt any man made activity. We like volcanoes especially when they flatten the earth, block the sun and boll the oceans.
In-the pursuit of bigger is better, what better than a volcano?
BDO - What's it made, of?
m8 - Subterranean molten lava beneath a crispy crust of shale, Igneous rock and quart/ with a sprinkling or verdant vegetation.
BDO - What does ii do exactly?
M8 - Volcano type things. What will happen is more about what we do to it. A precession of historical figures from primitive man through to nineteenth century dandy industrialist and contemporaries do as they can. Finally some modern day children of the earth signal some warnings, time will tell if the volcano is listening.
BDO - I hear you have also made clouds - how do they work?
M8 - A sub text to M8's activities has always been the distribution of much desired water resources to the needy in the dry Australian summer heat. Clouds absorb water in it's gaseous evaporated state cany it through the air and dump it where pressure conditions dictate. Our clouds naturally do much the same.
BDO - Do you have some sort of sick God complex?
M8 - M8 Is ostensibly benevolent. Such misinterpretation have been levelled at us in the past but our achievements speak for
themselves.
BDO - Who is better - Pierce Brosnan or Tommy lee Jones?
BDO - Docs Art need a reason to exist?
M8 - M8 has never discussed itself in conceptual terms. Do volcanos need vulcanologlsts.
BDO - Oscar Wilde said that all art is a lie - are. you therefore, liars?
M8 - Oscar Wilde said "Heauty is skin deep but ugliness goes right to the bone". Wc uie both ugly and liars. M8 has previously staged experiments into social Intervention. We were interactive installadonists, striving for social change and the transformation of mankind. Preservation of Mankind is now on our agenda
M8 used new technologies to solve old problems. The technologies have always, presented inherent problems of their own, Each
attempt at making people happy gave rise to a small group of people who wanted to destroy us.
M8 identified an old problem to dissolve any need rot new technology. In fact a volcano may usher the mass destruction of
technology to a very natural end point. A new start if you like.
BDO - One last (but very important bit) what's the name (exactly) of the enterprise, undertaking, artform and company?
M8 - M8 has previously deployed resources as deemed necessary, we will be focusing new players and resources on BDO 99.0 under the umbrella of 'M8: trouble wif da Natural World".
More philosophy? what the artform?
BDO - Who (exactly) are the principle players?
M8 - Chronologically: "Primitive man, woman and child", "Nineteenth
century industrialist and his human slaves", "children of the Earth"
BDO - Where are you playlne?
M8 - Who can predict where trouble in the natural world will next occur?
Count on M8 beng there.
Who can predict where trouble In the natural world will next occur? Count on M8 being there.
