rantapod (2006-2007)

In RANTAPOD, I start with a simple video performance. I talk into the camera. This is a philosophical meditation or discourse. It’s also a confession to a camera.  I edit the videos using digital tools. I am sampling myself.  I begin to cut up bits of my discourse and then re-assemble them into a looping repetitive digital word piece. This occurs on the internet and over an extended period of time.  Each short video is given a series of search categories. The viewer who goes to the website http://spaghetti.nujus.net/rantapod can click on category keywords and the database will sort and display those videos. This allows for a different assembling of meaning than what may be presented in a linear time based video piece.

rantapod is available as a video-podcast that is downloadable from the internet both on the main site and from apples iTunes. It uses h264 codec and can be displayed on an HD flatscreen using apple TV.
