Pall -
I've just watched this all the way through, and I think it's fantastic. It
ought to be put on permanent display somewhere. It's got such a sense of
history to it - not just the history of America and American politics, but the
history of American art too - that really painterly quality
Hi Edward,
Thanks for the comments. I like your description so much that I'm
going to try not to ruin it by explaining *everything*. That being
said, no, the scenes you describe were not done that way on purpose.
The whole thing was done with automated processes that I've developed
over the past
I made a video. It's a simple affair, no sound. If anyone wants to
mess around with it, chop it up, add some sound, whatever, feel free.
The entire process of creating this was automated using open-source
tools (except for the win32codecs I needed to install).
The video can be seen here:
Hi Pall,
That's beautiful...and actually, the silence is amazingly powerful and
moving. Because I've been so immersed in this media event, the piece
feels like an after image. My mind saturates the gaps with the legacy
of immediate memory.
best,
Renee

Hi Renee,
Thanks for the comments. I'm quite happy with it myself. It was
captured from CSPAN's live feed and I was hoping to release it earlier
to keep it within a sort of real-time essence of the moment but
the automated process wasn't without hitches. At least now I have
everything worked out.
