WHAT IS FILO? (While the performance collective FILO is now inactive, this site stands as an archive of the group's efforts and as an outlink node for current activities by former members.) FILO was founded by Luke Wyatt and J. Brophy, with key contributions from Pieter Zanko, Rhys Strojneier, and Donald Barthelme. The name FILO stands for Friendly Intervention Liberation Organization. The acronym FILO reminds us, conveniently, of filo (or phyllo) dough, which bakes into innumerable flaky layers. Our intake lens has baked into something similar: we appreciate experience through many layers of irony and parentheses, and spit it back out with these new tags attached. This has been called a "baklava sensibility." Another FILO imperative is healing the gap between hot and cold or funny/beautiful expression. We believe that Sly and the Family Stone and Graham Greene do not represent antagonistic aesthetic values. Visit Luke Wyatt makes videos for other people.
