REVIEW: "Seduction of the Armageddon Witches,...
If the video for Mater Suspiria Vision’s “Seduction of the Armageddon Witches” isn’t a telling indictment of the ‘witch house’ scene, I don’t know what is. Taking its aesthetic cues (and proudly) from the likes of Matthew Barney, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and the Italian horror filmmakers of the 1970’s, this video is a mess of impenetrable...

Peruvian Politics As Usual

Part I (Lots of Crappy, Static Action)
How is it that someone with absolutely zero artistic talent can become a known (if not integral) part of a DIY scene? Someone who, for example, compiles a zine with zero content of their own, or directs a music video that is simply a camera placed before a random hipster after a toke of weed? Whose sole claim to fame is working the door at a venue, and then parlaying that into promoting shows of...

Such originality on display in the Lima art scene.
It’s bad enough that such substandard art would be par for the course of the Lima art scene, but the fact that these are plagiarized? And that both are still childishly scrawled and completely awful? My head spins just looking at these all at once.
