Darius Kazemi, Tiny Subversions - XOXO Festival (2014)
Most people are lucky if they finish a couple side projects in a year. Last year, Darius Kazemi released 72, averaging one every five days. His projects fall under what he calls “weird internet stuff” — bots that generate random Amazon purchases, surreal metaphors, rap battle lyrics, pickup lines, and everything in between.
In "How I Won the Lottery," Darius explains how he became a successful lottery player, and with hard work and a little luck, how you can too.
Recorded in September 2014 at XOXO, an arts and technology festival in Portland, Oregon celebrating independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love. For more, visit http://xoxofest.com.

[A curtain-raiser: Film and soon videogame are next-generation, structural, motion-based languages that may, if only rudimentarily at this stage, access the human brain unlike any spoken or written alphabetical-text-language (consider the amount of tears shed collectively in the dark for Gone With The Wind, as an emotional experience it compresses days of reading into a few hours). Storytelling primarily through images not words. Obviously using eyes and ears differently than reading or hearing text, film forces the brain to develop alternate memory structures since its data is received in flowing, ideally uninterrupted motion. Film also has an advantage in how it is shared collectively: the medium entrances audiences to remain rapt as it directly employs, accesses and mutates visual forms guided by voice and gesture, augmented by music. Archetypes, symbols, metaphors, all in their expressively visual forms, advancing inter-culturally through a manner purely oral or textual media (encrypted onto pages or into voice by alphabets) cannot. Film's advantages over oral-performance and written, text-based storytelling are perhaps elemental, affecting memories no alphabetical encryption can achieve; we may soon discover corollaries with brain structures, and/or biogenetic structural guidance inherently coded to archetypes and their relations in symbols and visual metaphors (some pretty basic examples: lightning to neuron firing, the glint of gold referring to the abstract concept of knowledge). Your brain on movies. Few directors are conscious of the vast potential, yet the film-narrative as an art form unmistakably, knowingly employs these metaphors and symbols and then arrays them somewhat unconsciously, somewhat collectively, sometimes hierarchically. The 20th century's convergence of the hero's shared epic-narrative from printed/oral-text to motion-visual is a revolution only a century old and is the beginning of a global narrative language structure that has only begun to take effect.' - summarized from the introduction]
