1991 Video Projects – P.C. and War Games January 21st, 2014
And finally, here are a couple of politically-minded video projects I did back in college. The first was railing against Politically Correctness. It was a pretentious reaction to the administration taking umbrage to satirical banner some friends had put up lampooning the student elections.
“War Games” is the piece I’m most proud of. It wasn’t a statement against the first Gulf War itself, instead a commentary of the media saturation and the way it was being marketed.
1991 Video Project – Timing X January 21st, 2014
This was another old video project, one that was most just an experiment. I really dug the effects of video feedback when you point the camera at a television it’s connected to, so I threw together this music video of sorts.
May cause seizures.
1991 Video Project – Sanctuary January 21st, 2014
I’m watching some old video art projects from back in college, half a lifetime ago. This was one of the early ones, so it’s pretty rough.
It’s pretentious and earnest and full of energy. I miss that creative overdrive. For all its flaws and how dorky I was back then, this made me smile as often as it made me cringe.
