Very cool. Strangelove is my favorite movie of all time. Love the coffee grounds against trash bag shot to make it look like mountains poking through the clouds. posted by DrDreidel at 2:44 PM on September 23, 2008

Seconding batmonkey. Oh, and from the linked interview, the artist's very first quote is...
"I don’t have a television."
A Kubrick resample by a television-free Canadian artist? Isn't that a Metafilter Trifecta? posted by retronic at 2:52 PM on September 23, 2008 [3 favorites]
On no account will a Commie ever watch television, and not without good reason. posted by Smedleyman at 2:53 PM on September 23, 2008
I like this little collection of quirky visual puns. What I hate is the kind of Artspeak that seems to always accompany this type of thing:
The connections between Kubrick’s film and Horton’s photographs demonstrate the power of familiar sights, sounds, ideas, and objects to change the way we look at cultural icons.
What a load of pompous hooey. The artist made some charming little constructions out of forks and such. It's cute, creative, fun, etc., but guess what? It doesn't "change" how I look at "cultural icons". Jesus christ. Go write a grant proposal and get outta my face. posted by flapjax at midnite at 4:51 PM on September 23, 2008 [3 favorites]
