ASCII BUSH

"ASCII BUSH is an ascii (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) video rendition of two State of the Union addresses — one delivered by George W. Bush on January 12, 2003 (just before the Iraq war); the other by his father, George H.W. Bush, on March 6, 1991 (right after Operation Desert Storm). The goal of the project is to find some artistic meaning in the dreadful and painfully long US presidents' speeches, and to investigate the idea of recycling and making art out of the debris of our culture. The speeches are not edited; they are just digitally filtered and also very long. ASCII BUSH is definitely boring enough to be interesting!!!" -- From Turbulence
