"Protest" is
a work with two interacting elements. The first element
is a group of three video projections on buildings,
depicting crowds protesting the Iraqi war in New York
City. They
are accompanied by looped protest chants. The second
element features a car roving the area, projecting
images from the same protest rallies, but this time
concentrating
on the police interactions with the crowd. Sounds from
police loud hailers, sirens etc. emanate from
the car. The three projections are fixed and continue
uninterrupted
until the roving car drives by and blasts the images
of the police over the existing images and upsets the
chanting with its noise.
