Star Spangled Chatter

Star Spangled Chatter is the American national anthem pieced together word by word from broadcast tv spots. This piece questions how much television plays a role in shaping a viewer's ideas and values (in this case, relating to patriotism).

Anthrax

Anthrax is a criticism and comment piece about how broadcast news handled the 2001 anthrax scare. The idea is that the word "anthrax" can be interchanged with other topics being reported to the nation. The video attempts to deconstruct the television coverage of this topic, especially the scare factor, and identifies patterns and similarities in vocabulary, tone and treatment across all the networks that were sampled.

Breathe

Breathe is a criticism and comment piece about what is between the words in broadcast news. If you take away the words, the content of what is being broadcast, you are left with the liminal spaces in between. It questions the authority of news presenters by cutting out the words and leaving behind only gasps and breaths.

The T.V. Dinner

The T.V. Dinner features a dinner conversation using only ad slogans between a man and a woman stuck inside televisions on top of a dining table superimposed into a doll house dining room. Featuring Rebekah Patnode.
