every dog has its day

‘every dog has its day’ brings together consumer-produced media dating from early Camcorder footage to smart phone videos, to present-day Vlogger uploads and web-cam streams. In a frenetic montage the piece explores internet vernacular, mediated presence, and the inherent manipulation in image production and consumption loops. This work extends the artist’s interest from mass media into the more specified role of the prosumer amidst society’s changing relationship to images.

Through layers of re-filming, the self-broadcasting that marks the work shifts between the space of video to a more removed point of view of one watching it on another screen. Images appear and disappear in quick flashing cuts creating an affective space. The piece is driven by its own internal rhythm and, towards the end, by electronic music which propels us through bursts of violence, narcissism, religious fervor, and denial.
