Brain in a Jar
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 @ 9:02 pm
So the new semester is under way, which is a good opportunity for me to begin using this blog regularly for my ‘artistic practice’. Hrm.
Still Trying to work out my self-directed work for Screen Arts, but for Project 1, I had a thought, mainly, Brain in a Jar.
The idea so far is a brain in a jar, set up in a dark corner area, so the only light comes from the lights underlighting the jar, and a flickering monitor hung above the jar, playing what appears to be memories. Attached to the jar will be a speaker, which will be speaking thoughts.
Still thinking about the meaning/actual content, but I feel like, I want the people viewing this work to be left feeling sad/contemplative/pity. Or something like that. I’m going to work on some sketches at some point. I’ll post them when I have ‘em.

I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark
I don’t ever use it anyway
Don’t think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging
Is all I want to do these days
They oughta make a plan, get a research grant
And study me around the world
I know it’s bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
It was a stormy night in Georgia when I was born
Daddy’s greatest expectations in bodily form
Teacher said I had the brightest future she’d ever seen
But their hopes all ended the day I turned fourteen
I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark
I don’t ever use it anyway
Don’t think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging
Is all I want to do these days
They oughta make a plan, get a research grant
And study me around the world
I know it’s bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
Momma called the state hospital to send a doctor down
She said doctor all he ever does is follow girls around
Well they looked inside my head and what’cha think they saw
Doctor said there ain’t nothing in here at all
I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark
I don’t ever use it anyway
Don’t think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging
Is all I want to do these days
They oughta make a plan, get a research grant
And study me around the world
I know it’s bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
I know it’s bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
