Parody of Latro..us Mactans Productions' 'The Joke'. B.S. Audience as reflexive cast; 35mm. x 2 cameras; variable length; black and white; silent. Which is a parody of Hollis Frampton's 'audience-specific events,' two Ikegami EC-35 video cameras in theater record the ‘film's’ audience and project the resultant raster onto screen - the theater audience watching itself watch itself get the obvious ‘joke’ and become increasingly self-conscious and uncomfortable and hostile supposedly comprises the film's involuted ‘antinarrative’ flow. Incadenza's first truly controversial project, Film & Kartridge Kulcher's Sperber credited it with 'unwittingly sounding the death-knell of post-poststructural film in terms of sheer annoyance.' Nonrecorded magnetic video screenable in theater venue only, now unreleased.
