Just a suggestion. All I ask is that you think about it.
1. Take one lamb's brain, or one-half of a calf's brain, put it in a saucepan with cold water, change the water from time to time for a couple of hours, until the brains are thoroughly cleansed.
2. Then put them in another saucepan with fresh water, and with several pieces of onion, a little salt, a little vinegar (one tablespoon to each brain), and some parsley stems.
3. As soon as the water boils, take the saucepan off, remove the brains, and put them onto a napkin.
4. Cut them into four pieces, put these pieces onto a plate, and season with a little olive-oil, some lemon juice, and chopped parsley.
5. When you are ready to fry, roll in flour, dip in egg, and fry the brain over a moderate fire for seven or eight minutes in olive-oil, shortening, or butter.
-- Then serve them with some farva beans and a nice Chianti. (Susan)
Guys/Gals, I'm sorry but this just seems like a spurious sort of suggestion. I'm perplexed as to what eating brains has to do with art & visual communication? Sounds more like a an episode of fear-factor than a intelligent visual discourse to me. Please don't encourage Daniel to stoop so low as to produce something that actually might be shown on network/cable TV.
While I'm in the general area about this (and call me a fuddy-duddy - I won't argue or be offended) but things like performance art, music, visuals that seem to have the primary goal of shocking people aren't really communicating much of anything. If anything, they put acorss that the so-called "artist" lacks the ability to communicate through intelligent discourse and/or is incapable of reflection to the point of getting inside another's shoes/thoughts/heart and takes the easy way out. Think alcoholic beating spouse/child physically instead of grappling with their own or other's pain. This is precisely why Daniel's videos are set apart from the gigabits of drivel out there be they vlogs or youtube crap. Think of it this way when contributing ideas for seven maps: you don't hire a professional chef and then ask her to cook you a microwave burrito; likewise, don't force Daniel to condescend either.

Hi Gregory,
I suggested the topic. Um. I can think of all kinds of ways to make
an interesting, thought provoking, multilayered video out of this----not just a shocker. Still, I wouldn't want to pressure him into it.
