Dan Deacon, reigning Prince of Awesomeness, brought both kinds of mayhem to MassArt late last month: the kind that involves long, hypnotic, frontal-lobe-destroying multimedia mindfucks; and then the full-frontal, lights-out, digital body music that turns art students into pole dancers. We've got clips of both below: first, an excerpt from "Ultimate Ryeality," his settings and manipulations of Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, which works way better live than on DVD. Then the legendary Dan Deacon experience, captured as close as possibly while being nearly danced off the stage lip by ecstatic 20 year olds in heat.
