(((It's bizarre that this guy's four-year legal difficulties are still rumbling on.
He's not a bioterrorist, he's never been a bioterrorist, he's nothing remotely like a bioterrorist. It's no wonder he compares himself to a Gitmo abductee.)))
(((Well, at least he's got an interesting small film out of the deal.)))
Link: WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Strange Culture.
Yesterday I finally decided to face the queues to get tickets and grabbed the last chance to see Strange Culture, the half-documentary half fiction movie about Steve Kurtz's surreal -and ongoing- ordeal.
Kurtz, Associate Professor for Art at the University at Buffalo and one of the founding members of the Critical Art Ensemble, was preparing a piece for a MASS MoCA exhibition called Free Range Grains that lets audiences test whether food -including "organic" food- has been genetically modified, when his wife Hope died of heart failure. It was the night of May 11, 2004. Kurtz called 911, but when paramedics arrived, they became suspicious of his art supplies and called the FBI.
