Instaphonics (NO LIFE, NO MUSIC.) is a gag concerning both instant improvised moments and Plunderphonics, made entirely from Instagram in real time on three Apple devices. When folks say “no overdub, no edit” I think “why are you telling me this, who cares?” but here I am saying just that. It is roughly an hour of annoying jump cuts and juxtapositions- possibly an attempt to recapture the time and attention Instagram has taken from me over the years. I don’t know what it is saying exactly but I’m opting for “no thought, best thought” to get somewhere, anywhere.
