A video conversation between Frylock and Ignignokt & Eer, also known as ‘The Mooninites’ 

 

Frylock: Hey 

Ignignokt: Hey yourself

Eer: Welcome to the rock!

Frylock: What are y’all doin’ tonight?

Ignignokt: Well I wonder who wants to know?

Frylock: Alright look. I know we’ve had a lot of differences in the past, but, eeeer

Ignignokt: But what? I’ve hacked into your mind. You’re having a party and no one is showing up

Frylock: No! But how did you know that?

Ignignokt: Sadness surrounds us, doesn’t it Eer?

Eer: Sadness is for poor people!!

Ignignokt: We may be able to squeeze by, but we can’t promise anything, we’re busy

Eer: Busy!

Frylock: Because on the moon our weekends are so far advanced that they encompass the entire week

Eer: That’s right!

Ignignokt: Jobs have been phased out… by our minds

Eer: We get cheques from the government and we spend it on beer! Mexican beer!!

Ignignokt: That is the cheapest of all beers

Frylock: Well I got some beer here and a few chicken wings…

(Ignignokt and Eer suddenly smash through the window of Frylock’s Earth apartment)

Ignignokt: Is that right?

(They steal the beer and chicken wings)

Eer: This is mine!

Ignignokt: See you in hell!

Eer: Yeah give him the finger!

(They quickly leave in their 8-bit spaceship)

Frylock: Damn… could have at least stayed a while and talked for a bit 

(They return)

Eer: Talk to the can!

(Eer starts spray painting Frylock’s apartment)

Eer: Vandalazino! Vandalazino!

Frylock: Dammit! Get the hell out of here!

 

 

sample track - Aaron Dawson Riley
00:00 / 00:00

08:40- Mick: ‘‘… to make a show that, essentially, seemed about making a show just as much as anything else. So the figures in there seem to be almost kind of battling the zips, so the figures are kind of this intermediary between you and sculpture… it’s familiar, this person, he’s doing things, they look like they’re installing or building it. At the same time, they’re kind of doing battle with the sculpture in a way, it’s a bit like a fantasia thing…what they’re industry is is a bit ambiguous, so they’re trying to display the zips on this… thing that could also be a big plinth. So you’re almost making a show about the difficulty of making an enormous show…’’

 

11:25- Mick: ‘‘… a drawing doesn’t go together with a thing that’s very animated [sculpture], with lots of bits sticking out it. You know, the two things shouldn’t inhabit the same world…’’

 

16:20- Tom: ‘‘… you have these set against these very peculiar sort of graphic elements… the image almost seems to appear to run through them like writing through a stick of rock… you look at the front and turn around and see a front again, you look at the back and the back’s always with us. You were saying to me earlier: ‘these come from drawings on sheets of paper and a sheet of paper doesn’t have anything on the back.’ ’’

 

Mick: ‘‘ (talking about cartoon casts)…where the cuts are on one side make less sense on the back, the guy’s carrying the zip, from the back, [he] doesn’t have an arm, because it’s only on the front. Things like that, I quite like the wrongness of that.’’
