When Reese Rideout first made the foray from porn into the amateur YouTube video market, his work was weird, sexy and often pretty amusing. But now he's either hit some zenith of Dadaist anti-logic or he's lost his ever-loving mind.
In this iteration of his Youtube performance art series, Rideout tackles issues of capitalistic overflow, human-animal relations, the infiltration of Europe's electronic textures into the landscape American popular music, and the importance of including non-saturated fats in any healthy diet. Or not. He's actually just dancing around in his bath tub, feeding peanut butter to his dog and letting foam fill up his entire bathroom. We can't help but think that even the dog looks a little concerned.
