A still from Little Big Cremaster 1
Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle has a lot of things going for it. But like other cycles – Ring, laundry – it runs a bit long. The Flux Lasers channel on Youtube has solved this problem, creating three-minute animated homages to each film. The clips, which were made via Little Big Planet on the PlayStation 3, condense Barney’s seven-hour series into short game-like videos replete with cutesy characters. The episodes transform Barney’s esoteric art world into a much more gamer-friendly one.
