...York City to cover a boxing match. It only becomes clear in Part 4 - "The Part about the Crimes" - that Bolaño is performing these lateral leaps the better to observe from all sides what the reader only gradually recognizes as the book's true subject: the horrific serial rape and killing of hundreds of women in and around Santa Teresa. Part 4 consists of a ruthlessly precise forensic catalog of those killings, complete with torn nylons and hematomas and vaginal swabs, mingled together with the stories of the detectives who are working the case and of their principal...
...label co-founder James Murphy, and, according to the liner notes, were “recorded at home in Brooklyn.” While those same notes later reveal that the discs were also intended to be spun on BBC 1, most of the albums in the seasonally released serial are well worth the download (and they’re free on DFA’s website).

In that sense the movie is a companion piece...
...image is reminiscent of early impressionist painting—Turner comes to mind. With the loss of image clarity comes an exciting development. The works in Lossless come out of the destruction of existing film, but they may be equally viewed as forays into a new medium. The serial titles connect the installations to the exhibition and the ideas behind it, cutting them off from the films that preceded them. These installations are more than just digital destruction—they stand alone as creative works. Although the original films may be severed, distorted, and pixilated, the result is artful...
