Infinite Jest X - The Final Video

And finally, here we are at long last - the final video in the Infinite Jest series.

We've always maintained that these videos are like collages, amalgams of the various video clips and other content that's saturated the internet.  By taking the visual flotsam and jetsam and piecing it together in a way that amuses at least us, we've tried to create something new and original and different than the source materials (please don't sue us).  So for this final entry, we decided to hold the mirror up to ourselves and use as our source material all of the previous Infinite Jest videos, so that IJ X is in fact the complete reconciliation of all the previous efforts.

So that it doesn't look like a "Greatest Hits" or "Bloopers" reel, after assembling all of the previous videos we employed the late, great William S. Burroughs cut-up technique and haphazardly split the videos up into little pieces and then randomly rearranged them back together, and then cut up that resulting video and patched it back up a second time, and finally tweaked the results of the second cut to synchronize with the music (we particularly like the results around the 9:35 mark).

Brion Gysin accidently discovered the cut-up method in the 1950s when he used layers of newspapers as a mat to protect a tabletop from being scratched while he cut papers with a razor blade. Gysin noticed that the sliced layers of newspaper offered interesting juxtapositions of text and image, so he began deliberately cutting newspaper articles into sections, which he randomly rearranged. Gysin later  introduced Burroughs to the technique, and the pair later applied the technique to printed media and audio recordings in an effort to deconstruct the material's original content.  Burroughs suggested cut-ups may be effective as a form of divination saying, "When you cut into the present the future leaks out." 

To illustrate, if we take the text so far of this post and subject it to the cut-up technique, we get something like this:

Being scratched while he cut papers, he randomly rearranged them back together. The previous Infinite Jest videos, a form of divination, say "Don't sue us." The text so far doesn't look like a "Greatest Hits," which he randomly rearranged. With the cut-up technique, we get to create something new and original and the future leaks out. To illustrate, cut-up technique haphazardly split the placed layers of newspapers as a last and final video of this post and subject it to suggested cut-ups that may be effective as collages, amalgams of the various video up into little pieces. He began deliberately cutting newspaper articles from the internet by taking the visual.  And finally, here we are, with a razor blade. Gysin noticed audio recordings in an effort that the sliced layers offered interesting together in a way that amuses juxtapositions of text and image, so the mirror up to ourselves and the Infinite Jest series. We're always the late, great William S. Burroughs, at least to us, we've tried to so that IJ X is in a mat to protect the tabletop from different source materials (please).  In the 1950s, Brion Gysin accidently use our source material all the technique to printed media and of the previous videos we employed clips and other content that's saturated. Maintained that these videos are like "Bloopers" reel after assembling all the flotsam and jetsam and piecing it.  Discovered the cut-up method when the previous efforts. So that it final entry, we decided to hold the technique, and the pair later applied fact to the complete reconciliation of all. Gysin later introduced Burroughs to the cut into the present and deconstruct the material's original content. Burroughs.

What amuses us is to create mashups of different texts by using the cut-up technique to slice and dice them together.  For example, if we take the above text that we previously used and cut it up with, say, an excerpt from Anger-Bear Brett's opening testimony to Congress, we get this:

For source material, a good old-fashioned attempt at Borking the late, great William S. Burroughs. All Democratic senators on this committee publicly create something new and original, and the previous Infinite Jest videos and collages, amalgams of the various videos. Think about that word. And the "Bloopers" reel, after assembling the Democratic National Committee on the internet. By taking the visual committee to my hearing, we cut the videos up into little pieces of a national disgrace. The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the clips and other content that weeks ago was an embarrassment. But this committee said, “Judge, we listened carefully to you." Given comments so far on this post, finally, here we are, at an effort to deconstruct the Infinite Jest.  The lives of millions of Americans are a threat against my family.  Passions of the moment. But at least it was just those senators - your efforts didn’t work in the 1950s. He referred to me as "evil." I fear flotsam and jetsam and piecing the final entry. We decided to hold it after I was nominated. The Democratic cut papers with a razor offered interesting juxtapositions of text and said, “Judge Kavanaugh will threaten the cut-up technique and haphazardly split the Senate leader." Words have meaning. Millions of Americans for decades to come understand the previous efforts. So that it doesn't look like a "Greatest Hits," there’s been a frenzy on a mat to protect the Democratic members of this confirmation. Block my confirmation. I applied the technique to different source materials (please destroy me) saying, "When you cut into that IJ X, don't sue us." Burroughs suggested cut-ups may blow me up and take me with everything he’s got. These videos are like that, so is it any surprise that Gysin sliced against me and against my friends, a tabletop being scratched while the present future leaks out? Of the previous videos, we employed the wind mirror up to ourselves as  a form of “complicit evil.” A Democratic senator replaced “advice and consent” with “search the final video." This confirmation process has been cutting newspaper articles into sections, which subjects it to the printed media and audio recordings in Brion Gysin.  He accidentally discovered that those that supported me were together in a way that amuses.  But you have replaced your worst nightmare. 

If you've ever read Burroughs, it's not much different than that (only better).

So anyway, here you go - Infinite Jest X - The Final Video.  Not sure of the future's going to leak out of them, but at least we're now spared the hours that editing these silly videos has required.  Please don't sue us.
