Powers of Bush

experimental-film

Cultural

This piece was commissioned by the Cooler Gallery in White River Junction, Vermont for a show featuring faces of leadership. Filmmaker wrote software to build images of President Bush based on the words in his State of the Union speech. The result was up to 900 individual moving images placed such that together they formed an image of the President giving the speech. He then created five thematic sections that form an infinite loop. Viewers sat in a couch in front of a large television, as in a living room, with a coffee table and remotes (that did not work).
