I have loaded several images and media samples from two pieces that I intend to submit to the Moveon.org based DNC art show entitled Manifest Hope. Both pieces are political in nature and deal with aspects of history as well as the steps we need to take right now to prevent us from revisiting atrocities of the past.



When you peer through the eye piece you see and hear this video, so it is visualized in a very intimate setting. The intent here is to enforce the Hiroshima victim's recollection in a deeply personal manner.







This piece entitled "Prospects of Democracy" incorporates sound bites from a political speech of Noam Chomsky about America's ideal concepts of democracy versus it's current misappropriation. It also a incorporates excerpts from Charlie Chaplin's closing speech in the film "The Great Dictator" which similarly discusses the pitfalls of greed combined with politics.

Here is the audio collage I edited that plays back within the piece when you flip the switch.
