Video Vortex 6, Amsterdam. March 12 2011.

*best*RapidEssayNSFW!! is an expanded video essay, by Amsterdam-based artist Emile Zile, that uses live and prepared online video sources from YouTube, scientific trials, viral marketing blips, social software and monologues by cult leaders to weave an audiovisual portrait of contemporary culture and its acceleration of signs. As a live performance, *best*RapidEssayNSFW!! references the audiences’ familiarity with non-linear web browsing and ‘skimming’ content, yet slows down this practice by using audio effects, music and in-browser video manipulations to create a coherent whole. Using multiple sources of appropriated footage in a highly performative and audiovisually dense way, Zile creates a unified and traceable story through the live crafting of a video essay. - Video Vortex, Amsterdam 2011
