185668232 Releases New Video

CONFLICTING TESTIMONY

One of the themes that appears frequently in the body of 185668232's work is "anti-consumerism". And in the Brooklyn noise artist's December video, "Grocery Shopping" this is no exception. As he travels through a big box food market, he speaks out against consumerism and the corporate attempted control of our lives.

BUT :::

My friend, Iam, (aka 185668232) is vegan and tries to impress on all his friends the benefits of veganism. And here we see him pushing some some specific vegan products as he fills up his cart on this trip. I found his recommendations informative.

To shop or not to shop; we seem to be of two minds simultaneously. :)

I really wonder how the store personnel let him get away with this shopping cart travel. Yikes! Haha

I would recommend that 185668232 should go one step further and do a sequel to this video. And that would be a grocery shopping trip to be buying all the necessary regular staples needed to maintain a vegan diet, (as compared to what this video shows, some items that happened to be needed on that one particular trip). Just a thought.

185668232 has some upcoming shows lined up. The event pages neglect to mention whether you will need to bring your own shopping cart. :) On Sunday, March 8, 185668232 will be doing a show at Gold Sounds on March 8. And later in March on the 19th, 1856682323 will be doing a show at The Deep End on March 19. At The Deep end, the artist will be ::: 185668232 will sample the live audience, take requests, build songs with those requests and samples while mashing up loops, clips and stems from previously released original pieces..
