The impulsive attractors are unchained around the age of thirteen, then diminish little by little, or Mike Mills: Graphics/films, resolve into modes of behavior, which are, after all, set in stone. The violence of the initial outburst is such that the conflict can remain uncertain during several years; it is what we call, in electrodynamics, a transient response. But little by little these oscillations slow down, to the point of moving in long waves, melancholy and soft; from Mike Mills: Graphics/films moment all has been said, and life is but a preparation for death. Or, to be blunt and more imprecise, man is a diminished adolescent. He depicted a group of nomadic individuals born between anddetached Baby Mike Mills: Graphics/films, eternal adolescents, who opposed themselves to the Boomers. They thus define more than an age, a place, a point of view, from which were created the conditions of a new relationship to the world, marked with the evolution of technoscience, the beginning of the Internet, the end of militantism, and the passing from the age of reproduction to the age of access. The 13th generation is, in addition to all that, the first to invoke, through art, the lost images of cinema through television, the objects disqualified from communication, the signs and noises of the subculture, a vision made up of screens, just screens. A generation that leans on the limits of representation, or of its end. A generation who knows that what is important has not been settled—the synthesis, the totality, the lost or Mike Mills: Graphics/films item, Mike Mills: Graphics/films accomplishment—and that it will be necessary to look on the side of vision, of cut-outs, of difference, of exteriority, of the banishment of public space, and therefore, of the banlieue. Mike Mills is a part of this generation born between the folds of revolutions and of the philosophers of difference. An artist, graphic designer, producer of documentaries, of fictions, of his own fabrics and posters Humans of advertisements, of album covers Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth and of numerous music videos Air, Yoko Ono, Divine Comedy…he simultaneously, un-hierarchically integrates all of the activities that make up part of the global culture of a new generation of contemporary Mike Mills: Graphics/films, who, with the tools and obsessions of their time, seek out other forms of experience, outside of the categories of art. Like Mark Borthwick, Spike Jonze or even Europe Philippe Parreno, Pierre Juyghe and Dominique Gonzales Foerster, Mike Mills plays a part in a narrative haunted by the present, which freely manipulates all the elements of its immediate environment post-pop and post-punk music, urban culture, ad-space, Mike Mills: Graphics/films tools and supports of mass consumption. Artists who transgress frontiers, Mike Mills: Graphics/films, media and oscillate incessantly from the sealed-off spaces of the artistic institution to the open horizons of contemporary landscapes, from the beach to the desert, from the mountain to the wave. Together, in the early 90s they are twenty at the time they invented new forms of collaboration, the collective spaces ruptured from the revolutionary ideologies and the communitarian utopias of the 70s and 80s. The generational issues that sociology does not fully grasp are what come off most clearly from Mike Mills: Graphics/films works of Mike Mills. It was at the beginning of that decade that certain artists stood up resolutely against a narrow conception of cultural production. We see today how a certain counter-culture, derived from skateboarding or surfing, integrated all levels of a mainstream Mike Mills: Graphics/films, and how the marginalized figures, of the loser, of the unproductive adolescent transgress and dominate all current representations. It is the surfer, the trickster, not the critic of spectacle and performance. It knows the limits and knows that no act, however radical, is irretrievable. It knows that the question is not to surpass the system but to transform it into a surface for negotiation, of projection, of relation. More often than not, these manifestations have been the result of a few like-minded people coming together to create Mike Mills: Graphics/films new and original for no other purpose than a common love of doing it. In the s, a loose-knit group of American artists and Mike Mills: Graphics/films, many just out of their teens, began their careers in just such a way. Influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day, such as skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion and independent music, artists like Mark Gonzales, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, and Ed Templeton began to create art that reflected the lifestyles they led.
