BombSight, 3 Channel Video, 2000

BombSight was a three channel video installation in which the three screens were synchronized to the frame (back when that was difficult to do). The images above the yellow line show how the three channels worked together, and the image below gives a little better view of the center channel.
Bomb Sight engages the way of seeing implicated in technical images - in this installment, NASA footage taken from an early orbiter - by blending them with other layers of images - here, a demonstration against a bombing campaign. Audio is taken from shortwave radio broadcasts during the Gulf war.
