Here is the "Don't Fall in Love" installation I built for our Halloween show at Kitty Cat Klub on Oct. 27. So happy our fabulous fangirl Ani snapped a pic, because we totally forgot to.
Here's the process: I bought 3 tvs for like $2 each and a really old eMac for $13 that make up the screens here. I painted over the screens and then scratched out letters on the "Don't" and "Love" screens. The "Fall" screen is painted letters. The "in", which is on the eMac screen, is blacked out using fabric. The video playing on the screen is an interview from an old episode of the Sally Jesse Raphael talk show. She is talking to Zeena LaVey, who was a satanist back in the day and the daughter of Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan.
I made an electronic track called "Zeena Lavey: Satanist" last year after a hilarious post somewhere pointed out that Zeena looked exactly like Taylor Swift. That song then inspired us to make a hell-inspired pop album about bad dates and shitty relationships. HELL VIBEZ.
The picture above is dark, but underneath it is a mannequin body that I drilled a stand onto so it could be used to hold a tv. Now I've started to use it to hold my computer during sets. I love it so much and I'm very proud of my drill work. Totally gonna drill a buncha shit for the rest of my life now.
