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.

behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the 
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.
