This is a video for “Dayvan Cowboy” by Boards of Canada. It recontextualizes found footage of the 1960 “space jump” undertaken by Joseph Kittinger as part of USAF “Project Excelsior.” I don’t know what it means, and the whole transition to surfing is a bit much, but I do know it makes for great music video.
How far can a poetic interpretation be taken before it lacks the expected gravitas of “proper” documentary?
