Describe your object:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This video is an MTV-style music television section from an alternate reality. I wanted to channel television segments where musicians introduced other music videos. Here, David Byrne\u2019s interview is intercut with the performance of Daddy\u2019s Song<\/em> from the Monkee\u2019s experimental 1968 film Head <\/em>and a clip of a traditional Japanese archery competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe your motivation for making this object:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose these videos somewhat randomly from my \u201cliked videos\u201d playlist on YouTube because I thought that they were visually interesting, but I became very inspired by how the sound was distorted more in some places than other places, which inspired my idea of a distorted reality MTV segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

describe your process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first used Audacity to databend three videos that I downloaded from YouTube. I made two different versions of Daddy\u2019s Song<\/em>, because I wanted a lot of raw material to work with. After manipulating my files, I put them into a video editing software to collage the clips together for the final project. When I put the videos together, I tried to pay attention to the rhythms of each clip, similarly to how I put songs in order when making a playlist. I didn\u2019t want any one video to go on for too long, or to become boring by having similar visuals repeated over and over. I also wanted a mix of more and less glitched videos, to maintain visual interest and keep the audience surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the project mean to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project has sentimental value to me because I enjoy both the Talking Heads and the Monkees and I am very fond of the format old MTV specials took, even though I never actually watched MTV on a television, only on YouTube. I like the final project because I think I chose fairly obscure clips, so I feel like perhaps I am really bringing something new to the audience, something that they could believe is a real television segment, even if it\u2019s a television segment from a beautiful and somewhat freakish glitch universe. It\u2019s like a transmission from another planet\u2026 or perhaps what another planet could pick up our transmission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
