LOS ANGELES, CA – On February 14, 2008, Niche Video Art presents “The Land of Nuclear Enchantment,” a digital photography show by Dave Bullock.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
This summer I took a road trip to my old stomping ground in New Mexico. Along the way I toured some of my favorite places including Los Alamos and shot photos of some beautiful scenery as well as cool nuclear equipment. I have put together a show that includes a juxtaposition between the lovely natural wilderness and the cold technology that has been a key part of the nuclear weapons industry that is peppered throughout said wilderness.

The Linda Lea Sequel

The Linda Lea Sequel
Rundown Theater to Be Recast as One-Screen Specialty Cinema

I know this is juvenile, but really – this woman royally screwed us and there’s nothing we could do about it because she has $66MM in the bank. I take consolation in the fact I’m not lazy like her only son. He’s utterly worthless.

I count it as a learning lesson. Don’t get in bed with the devil unless you’re ready to get screwed.

I have every email saved, every bit of correspondence saved, everything… she screwed us, plain and simple. We got nothing for 5 years work doing everything possible to renovate the Linda Lea into a state-of-the-art single screen. Oh well…

No regrets.

Described as the ultimate arbitration between politics and Christianity, “Christ Killa” is a video game linked to video projectors and television monitors. A first person shooter in which the player shoots hordes of homicidal Jesus Christs, the game landscape is filled with Googled images of Christian propaganda posters, religious shrines such as St. Peter’s in Rome, and clichéd representations of Christ who constantly mumbles messages of tolerance and compassion.
