** the poster designs were lifted from the original 'eXodus' exhibit. I doubled the image (model: Emman Tolentino) to form a 'gemini effect' ('coz I'm a Gemini). The image below the "twins" is a map that charts the journey from Egypt to Canaan (represented in the exhibit as my departure from the corporate world). eXodus 2.0 is an upgrade of its predecessor.

running time - 3:40 min from: http://www.ubu.com/sound/burroughs.html
During the 1960s, William Burroughs was in Europe and England. The Vietnam War, the Cultural Revolution, hippies and the acid gospel, the U S. in tumult, all these were dispatches to him. Living between Paris and London, his only excursions to America were in 1965, when he lived for a year in New York at the Chelsea Hotel and 210 Centre Street, and revisited St, Louis and Palm Beach; and in 1968, when he covered the Democratic Convention in Chicago for Esquire in the company of Genet, Southern and Seaver. Burroughs had quit the States in 1953 exactly because he foresaw these police-state conditions.
But now the wild boys were in the streets, in London and Paris too, and Burroughs was inspired to hope that the world could really change. In the creative world-switchboard of the Beat Hotel, in various London hotels, in a house in the Arab Quarter of Tangier, he experimented with tape recordings, hoping to cut the pre-recorded time line of pre-sent time, and let the future leak through.
Many of these tapes are as much Ian Sommerville's work as Burroughs or even more. Ian's technical background enabled him to contribute to the early development of sound-and-light shows in London, and at one point he worked in a studio furnished by Paul McCartney.
Ian was a sorcerer's apprentice, and the other sorcerer was the late Brion Gysin. The development of all the early cut-up techniques was a pure collaboration between Gysin and Burroughs. It was Brion who led the way on a crusade to rub out the word, and with Antony Blach the cut-up was applied to film, in Towers Open Fire, The Cut-Ups, and Ghosts at No. 9.
It is a long way back to the 1960s and sometimes hard to remember the sense of urgency and revolution then, of danger and discovery, that informed the literature of opposition. That there is now, in 2001, a market for these archival materials shows that this work was seminal, even though it has been little distributed until recent years.

"You know how old people lose all shame about eating, and it makes you puke to watch them? Old junkies are the same about junk. They gibber and squeal about the sight of it. The spit hangs off their skin, and their stomach rumbles and all their guts grind in peristalsis while they cook up, dissolving the body's decent skin, you expect any moment a great blob of protoplasm will flop right out and surround the junk. Really disgust you to see it." (from The Naked Lunch)
I am always asked this question: Why do you call yourself 'The Exterminator'? Then the follow-up question would be 'Why Exterminator Syndicate?' And then there will be more questions....
On my 515th blog, I reveal why we all have to exterminate all rational thoughts....
CUT TO
The Questions [courtesy of - see creds below] and The Answers [courtesy of - see me]
What is this whole sh*t about you being 'The Exterminator'? i call myself the exterminator because i just love to i call myself the exterminator i took it from famous beat writer, artist, cut-up god, william s. burrough's book of the same title the exterminator 1960
not to be confused with "exterminator" 1973 also written by burroughs
i call my blogsite The Exterminator Syndicate
Who is William S. Burroughs? an american beat writer of experimental novels born feb 5 1914
Isn't Burroughs a junkie? yes. he openly writes about him being a junkie. he experiments with narcotic substances.
Have you ever experimented with drugs? never.
The truth. nope. i saw a few people doing pot but never tried it.
Why? coz you know exactly my creativity already functions like i'm drugged. can you imagine if i have to tinker with drugs ? that would really be something.
do you hate mainstream movies? i DON'T. there are mainstream movies i like and there are indie films i hate. but most of them are crappy, anyway.....the mainstream ones.
what is extermination? eXtermination is when the eXterminator eXterminates everyone! Orgasmic! Hallucinogic! The power is comin'!
do you really want to exterminate everyone? have you been exterminated yet?
"Well," I said, tapping my arm, "duty calls. As one judge said to another: 'Be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary.' "- from Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs

The Exterminator appears in the October 2006 issue of FUDGE Magazine (Year 3, Issue 3) via the survey entitled "Indie Filmmaking 101" (page 23). We were all asked what cameras do we use for shooting. I said, "I'm not a 'camera conscious' director but if they'd kill me then I prefer to shoot using Sony VX2000 and Canon XL1." They labelled me as Professor (something I really refuse to be called - I just am not into titles) and credited me for doing 'Banal' (the first short film I ever directed which was way way way too old). So, for the information of Fudge editors (you must be that overworked for spelling my name as ELFERT), I'm listing down my complete filmography. Anyway, there's a survey and an entire article about indie films. Check it out!
