MASS-SHOOTER VIDEO ART Featuring Anders Breivik and Jared Lee Loughner!



Do mass killers have video art? Of course they do! They are often desperate for creative self-expression! They’re also desperate to get their self-expression attention. So desperate, they’ll kill to get it!
Such is the case with Anders Behring Breivik, the shooter and bomber in this week’s mass murder in Norway. If for some reason you want to know what was going on in his head, there is an extensive manifesto of his available on-line. Fans of literary theory may be surprised to see a fairly extensive history of the Frankford School and cultural theory in there, Breivik was obsessed with it, and saw it as a massively powerful and destructive force. I was under the impression that cultural theory was a marginal leftist school of thought that attracted academics and art world people that pontificated a whole lot but had little influence over policy, but Breivik was apparently ticked off about it enough to open fire on kids at a youth camp tied to the Norway’s liberal Labor Party. His general main gripe is that the rise of political correctness is leading to the destruction of Europe because it is leading to the colonization of Europe by Islam. Actually, many Europeans have similar concerns about Muslim immigration into Europe, but most of them just voted for conservative political parties and didn’t open fire on a youth camp. His video art is cool though, check out the cheesy Knights Templar graphics! It is really too bad he committed his crime in Norway and not in Texas, he could be on the death penalty express lane very quickly. Here is a link to his boring-ass manifesto. According to Reuters a lot of it was plagiarized.

Woo-Hoo! Look at me! I’m a Knight Templar! Woo-Hoo!!!
Elsewhere in the news, Jared Lee Loughner the shooter in Arizona who opened fire on the Congresswoman Giffords early this year, he’s been forced medication in prison. It was thought briefly Jared Loughner was tied to the far right because he referenced the gold standard, which has been a cause of Ron Paul and other conservatives, but it became quickly clear from his YouTube videos that he had, shall we say- unique things to say about currency and grammar. In fact he intended to create his own currency, apparently. I’ve always been curious about the music he used in his video art. I think he probably made the little techno songs in the background himself on GarageBand software or other similar music software. Of course, the content suggests that we, society at large, are all brainwashed and asleep, that he alone understood the truth. That we must urgently listen to him. Of course, no one did, so he opened fire to force us to listen. And when we did listen, we determined he had nothing to say, and we simply put him behind bars.
