As Seen on TV:
"In 2003 there was a surge of dissent for the invasion of Iraq. It is unclear whether there
should now be a nationwide shout of "I told you so!" Perhaps it is enough to prove that
not everyone was taken in by the claims from the executive branch. My contribution was
to videotape the entire day of parades and protests. I thought it was interesting to
present the stills as they would appear on TV if there had been actual news coverage of
the event. Not only this, but I thought further, that so much of what we know is presented
in this format. Now, of course, the shape of a video screen is changing rapidly. This
somewhat convex presentation is fast giving way to rectangular high-definition screens
that will soon make these images have an old-fashioned quality. Perhaps that may
increase the impact."

"Once I had found the TV format, I also applied it to Cirque Du Soleil. One particular clown act really
blew me away, and on tape I watched parts of it again and again until I found some of my favorite
frames. I even found the video scan-lines add a certain dynamism."

"I think the idea originated when Bob
Dylan appeared at the 2001 Academy
Awards on a giant TV Screen.
I managed to catch the magical moment
with my camera recording the giant
screen appearance on my own little
screen. Then I printed it, scanned it and
put it here for you to see on your own
little screen. How 'bout that?"
