Bananamilk does the body good

cathode ray of a television screen. It's just this sort of text of imagery that Kim knits around the user; it's a menu-driven form, said menu pushing the user into various loops, as if the menu were the Subject and Object of a sentence, the choices being phrases, modifiers, participles...

And it's only through this imagery and appropriated video that Kim speaks. There is no literal text in Bananmilk: Kim writes with the cultural reverberations around our media, using only video, imagery and sound (small loops of music accompany each choice). Yet the site does seem literary; in the sense that the user can feel a sort of narrative working in the ripples around the images. Something is being worked out here, something about both the current political uneasiness and about the relation of media to our emotions. As sweet and slick as Bananamilk is, it feeds something in us right now.
