This is quite a strange remix of this music video. I'm not sure what to make of it...

Response 3
I was struck by how weird it is that the same people that implied that this guy had something to do with Anna Nicole's son's death are now the ones that are showing his "break down". It isn't exactly weird itself, just that these people do this kind of stuff for a living. I thought it would be interesting to sort of 'mash-up' these two instances and see what comes out.

This is my response to the most viewed video on youtube for Monday February 12th. I chose this video not only for the obvious thematic similarities but also because of the nostalgic imagery of which it reminded me. Like many television programs I grew up with, this clip represents a small piece of my childhood.

This is my video response to the 'Evolution of Dance' video on youtube. All of the images and sound were previously composited for one of my 5 Obstructions movies. I recomposed them here while thinking of the entire process as an evolution in itself, hence my response to the 'Evolution of Dance'.
