more details » Berkeley: Videos by The Residents, 1975–2010 Icky Flix Remix: Videos by The Residents, 1975–2010 Wednesday, June 9, 2010 7:30 p.m. Videos by The Residents At Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive. http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/film/FN18717 Representatives of the Cryptic Corporation in Person A true Bay Area original, though not originally from the Bay Area, The Residents stand as an avant-rock group with few jeers and fewer peers. Reveling in acute anonymity, The Residents have thrown light onto the dark recesses of American culture, illuminating freaky pathologies and endless yearning. Their orchestrated output churns through pop musics and icky surrealism, building to theatrical surplus when performed live. As quirky composers, The Residents exude excess, but they are also remarkable moving-image makers, having produced prototypical pics like The Third Reich 'n' Roll and Hello Skinny in the seventies, then leading the way with woebegone wanderings through the interactive Freak Show in the early nineties, and on to the computer creations of more recent years like Stars and Stripes Forever and Burn Baby Burn. Icky Flix Remix is a whirlwind survey of their oozing opus that includes never-before-seen works—from their eyeballs to yours. —Steve Seid Arrive between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. and enjoy a demo of the legendary interactive CD-ROM Freak Show in the theater lobby.
