I like this guy's work. If THE THING had any money I'd bring him to New 
York for a THING.residency to do some kind of intervention. God knows 
the constipated new media art world could use a good intervention.

The ass-licking video seems to have been edited since I first saw it 
and is better for it.  He's totally within the current art discourse 
that deals with the work of Paul McCarthy and Andrea Fraser, something 
new media curators don't seem to be able to deal with because, well, 
they seem to think they can be art curators without addressing current 
art discourse.
