This is a multi-channel installation. 8 years of Superbowl games have been recorded, deconstructed and reconstructed. Although 4 years are represented, there is much similarity in the 4 projections. This work is meant to call attention to our habitual modes of perceiving information and the frenetic nature of mass media. The heavily layered aural and visual information loses its original meaning, becoming random noise, and causes our brains to seek out patterns in the chaos. As the media itself loses its original meaning, it creates an opening in the way that familiar information is experienced.
