Slowing things down

Here are a few things that crossed my desk that all seem to be related.

Justin Bieber's hit "U Smile" slowed down 800%.

That reminded me of Leif Inge's "9 Beet Stretch,", which I've blogged about before (n.b., the links on that post no longer work)

Also, via UbuWeb's Twitter feed, Morton Feldman's epic six-hour second string quartet available for download (it occupies five CDs).

UbuWeb also alerted me to this video by Wim Delvoye, which seems to me to stem from the same aesthetic place as the first two links here--it's a video of something shot at extreme close range. It's a little on the gross side; I suggest reading the description before viewing it.
