"Interruption No. 5 " (2006)

"Interruption No. 1 " (2005)

This series of 4 short videos investigates the construction of mass-media forms through the use of simple audio overdubbing - as visually un-manipulated works with re-recorded self-narrated audio, they draw attention to the linguistic redundancy and banal verbal conventions of contemporary television broadcasting.

All of these works draw from appropriated and found television footage: evening news broadcasts, familiar but forgotten commercials, home-recorded VHS tapes of sitcoms, behind-the-scenes MTV specials. I re-mark that which is broadcasted and non-specific, in order to renegotiate the meaning, influence, and authority of these images. 


All excerpts are QuickTime movies, compressed & resized, using H.264 codec.
