Don't worry—

Entranced by the phosphorescent glow of a television, a sentient assemblage of trash smokes a cigarette while watching a torrent of corrupted broadcasts.

The strip continues otherwise. Otherwise, the strip continues.

The same becoming, again.

An inner corrective says, "Not smart, Jackie boy."

The home video archive mistakes a fabrication for memory.

A continuously running two-channel installation, presented on 9" and 13" CRT monitors atop pedestals and overlooked by a green Kit-Cat clock. The smaller CRT bears a painted green square and is framed by a pair of crossed silver opera gloves, at whose intersection rests a vintage push-puppet of two boxers sharing a single red stand. Together, the two monitors display distinct video collages interweaving footage from Emerald Square Mall and the strike during its 1989 construction with remixed interferences from Channel J's Emerald City TV (1976–1979), Huge Video's Heat in the Night (1989), Genet's Un Chant d'Amour (1950), various cigarette commercials, The Wizard of Oz (1939), and a performance of a mylar-clad entity wrapping one of the televisions in videotape. The work has most frequently circulated publicly through its primary video channel.
