Two videos from 2009 that reflected my interest in self-documented performance that early video art shares with YouTube. The "live" one-take duration and interplay of dialogue within the work however is an illusion. The use of compositing and altered frame rates, along with the combination of unlikely visual and aural sources are more often associated with animation. In Grey Highlights (for Christine) a New Zealand golden oldies radio station makes contact with the spirit of the car from the John Carpenter film, "Christine" (based on the Stephen King novel) via a séance. Senora...Senora...Senora... features a trio of floral shirted men performing a chipmunk lip-synch to a song from the movie "Flashdance." IMAGES 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - PLAY VIDEO
