I AM HIDING A POEM INSIDE OF THIS VIDEO AND THE POEM IS ABOUT WHAT THE VIDEO ISN'T
Layers over palimpsestic layers of my voice, remodulated video drawn from
"A LOOP WITH THE TITLES IN THE MIDDLE (I I I I - THE EYES HAVE IT)"
itself taking at its source about 3 tenths of a second of hack journalism
videotaped off a rabbit-eared TV while on shift at the Roxie--San Francisco's
oldest independent cinema. As the title insists, there is a poem hidden
beneath the video and it's about what the video isn't. Some what the
video is about, of course, overlaps/dovetails/Venns nicely with what the
sound is. Some adjectives that I've heard applied to it: mesmerizing,
layerful, maximalist and meditative.
