That looks neato but the soundtrack would make me claw my ears off.

So much creepy tension! So much that I would be unbearably agitated. Cool topic though!

yeah you will enjoy it. i haven't tried to track down the soundtrack yet but it's at least as effective as A Field in England (although the movie is more traditional in structure)
the people they interview are fascinating, and i also enjoyed the healthy respect for amateur scientists of today and yesterday.
look up the work of heather barnett if you want the art side, and check out the fungarium if you like hidden corners of archives etc http://www.kew.org/science-conservation/collections/fungariumi also learned about the films of percy smith but there doesn't seem to be much of his stuff online and his end was tragic like david munrow :( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Percy_Smith

i recently went on a trip to visit behind the scenes at the field museum. one of the places i got to see was the room where zillions of beetles clean the bones of birds whose skeletons are getting prepped to be sorted and go into the collection. it was amazing and reminded me of ken middleham.
i don't see that he has gotten any more well known since last i checked but someday i hope to 1) track down his educational films before it is too late if it is not already too late and 2) get some video art assistance and perform some music in front of projections of ken middleham imagery. <--- there it is, if you can help me make it happen lmk! manifest your dreams!
also 4 years ago ilx user "robh" was writing a book -- any updates on that, robh?

It finally happened! A band used the black widow film for their own music video. In this case, a band with an extensive backstory named Toiling Midgets. This news courtesy of my Ken Middleham google alert. https://www.straight.com/music/1331056/toiling-midgets-more-local-you-ever-knew
