The Media Pranks and Hoaxes of Negativland
A 90-minute film/lecture presentation by Mark Hosler.
Mark Hosler of Negativland will discuss the "culture jamming"
projects his band has been doing since 1980. Hosler will also be
showing series of short videos in which Negativland brings its love
of found sounds and recycled mass culture to experimental
moviemaking. Outspoken artist-activists, Negativland had released 19
CDs, one book (Fair Use: The Story Of The Letter U And The Numeral 2)
and been sued twice for copyright infringement. A Q&A will follow.

early 1990s. Pat Robertson banters about "homos," Al Gore learns how
to avoid abortion questions, George Bush talks to Larry King about
halcyon-all presuming they're off camera. Iraq Campaign 1991
transforms network news footage, clips from Star Trek, and sports
coverage (all used without permission) into a devastating critique of
the media/industrial complex.
