We’ve heard enough. That’s why we want – and get – something different from tonight’s final presidential debate.
Sosolimited, three MIT-educated software engineers-slash-culture jammers, will remix the debate using software that allows them to sample and analyze the video, audio, and closed captioned text of the television broadcast. Through a series of visual and sonic transformations they’ll reconstitute the material, revealing linguistic patterns, exposing content and structures, and fundamentally altering the way people watch the debate. Or to put it another way, show the absurdity of it.
The transformed broadcast, called ReConstitution08, is projected onto a movie screen for a seated audience at the Corcoran Galley of Art in Washington.
Check out Soso’s debatable approach on their video trailers.
