1968-71, 14:27 min, color, sound, 16 mm film on HD video

The dissolution of a relationship unravels through visual and aural equivalences.

Pond and Waterfall

Problem Solvers
Paper Rad
2008, 23:28 min, color, sound

Problem Solvers is Paper Rad's ideal Saturday morning cartoon. The episode adheres to the parameters of a children's TV program—in structure (half-hour format with space for commercial breaks), method (an "economic approach to animation and script writing") and content (a story arc anchored by a "post-hippy new-age message"). While emulative of a classic formula, the cartoon is strangely fresh; earnest and untainted by adult-flavored parody, Problem Solvers exemplifies Paper Rad's post-ironic art.

Prototype (God Bless America)
Martha Rosler
2006, 3:57 min, color, sound

In this new video work, Rosler presents a short but incisive statement. A mechanical toy figure dressed as an American soldier plays "God Bless America" on a trumpet. The camera pans down, revealing that the toy's camouflage-clad trouser leg has been rolled up to uncover a mechanism that looks uncannily like a prosthetic limb.
