Agnes Varda is one great film artist whom I have been studying.
Showing her movies to a group. (Want to watch any?, Mur Murs coming up
Monday. )

Anyway, in this movie about murals and their makers in East LA released
in1980, there is
one so very great line that is so relevant to Bleeding Edge (and 'late
capitalism') :

"It is hard to tell if it is capital running after work, or work is running
after capital". ----love it.

There is also a wonderful extended section on a huge pigs mural. Stylized
pigs-- in their element, climbing
over fences, grazing and more. Agnes presents it as image after image. Then
tells us it covers the whole
 slaughterhouse. Took two artists 12 years to do.
