Angst, Lies & Audio Tape
The Antagonist Movement hosts weekly events in NYC's East Village. It showcases local artists such as Brother Mike Cohen who shares his family's dysfunction through live readings and 'zines. Brother Mike incorporates a boombox into his readings and plays old, secretly-recorded tapes of teenage fights with his father. His booklet, "Somewhere Between a Punch and a Hand Shake," published by the antagonist press, is a highly-regarded example of antagonist art.

Frank Kakopa has been paid £7,500 after the Immigration Service wrongly held him in prison for two days. Mr Kakopa, originally from Zimbabwe, was on a short break with his wife and young children in 2005, when he was stopped at Belfast City Airport.

Black people 'less intelligent' scientist claims
"One of the worlds most respected scientists is embroiled in an extraordinary row after claiming that black people are less intelligent than white people."
Wow...really? Like seriously? Someone is going to get up and say crap like this? What about all the really intelligent black people? What about all the really stupid white people (read: George W. Bush). Some people are smart, some people are stupid...why is everyone trying to find a reason for this and that? What about some individual accountability? Maybe I'm "stupid" because I'm just lazy? Maybe you're smart because you work really hard at something to learn about it and then succeed at it? Maybe, just maybe, it has nothing to do with race at all.

There is a Reason! - World violence begins as domestic violence.
I produced this when I was going to school at Lane Community College as part of my degree program in broadcast visual design. The assignment was to produce a public service announcement, and I had this concept around guns and domestic violence that i wanted to do in this stylized black and white 16mm film, however, couldn't afford the film at the time so I opted for 35mm film still shots and produced it as a slide show. New Millenium Productions was the imaginary production company that I had to create as part of our assignment.
My dear friend Penny Shipp who is now Penny Kowalsky wrote this song that, when I she first sang and played it for me back in 1991, floored me so that I cried and felt hope. Of course her "unplugged" version was a little more country and when we got in the studio we went for a more rock sound.
Penny is the voice, I play keyboards and drums, and our friend David Waterbury plays guitar and bass. Shannon Fishwick plays the mom, Laisha Johnson plays the daughter, Skylar Voegele plays the son, and Michael Knight plays the father.
The marriage of the two elements, the song, and the slide show made for a very impacting video. I offer this here as an example of some of my early work back in 1999.
I dedicate this video to all the women out there whose men have lost themselves to alcohol and guns, who hate the men that they have become, and that take it out on their children and especially their women.
May God protect you all! I produced this when I was going to school at Lane Community College as part of my degree program in broadcast visual design. The assi... more
