License
Robert Buck and Gryphon Rue 
2018, 11:54 min, color, sound, HD video

"Made in collaboration with composer and artist Gryphon Rue, License modifies a video forensics report by The New York Times that reconstructs the October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, the deadliest in U.S. history. John Cage’s infamous 1952 composition 4’ 33” (Four Minutes and Thirty-three Seconds) was the catalyst for our intervention. An emerging form of big data journalism, the audio and visual second-by-second account is organized by the shooter’s twelve bursts of gunfire. By erasing the intermittent voiceover that substantiates the timeline, silence punctuates the mayhem — mapped with intel gathered from cellphones, social media posts, police audio and bodycams — and allows the real of the carnage to resonate. Gambling, the gunman’s motive, the increasing body counts, and the structure of the Times report can all be correlated as a 'numbers game.' By underscoring this logic, License shows algorithms now occupy the place of the Name-of-the-Father, the guarantor of patriarchal institutions, e.g., law, family, church, state, markets." — Robert Buck

Light Blue Sky
Lawrence Weiner
2002, 4:45 min, color, silent

A silent "motion drawing," Light Blue Sky continues Weiner's digital exploration of language structures, categorical systems, and the process of reading. With his distinctive interactions of shifting colors, animated graphics and epigrammatic text, Weiner engages in visual and linguistic play that suggests philosophical puzzles. "The future laden as it is with the mistakes of the past" reads one of his typically gnomic phrases.
