The Films we watched in class today dealt with media and JFK. The Second film we watched by Bruce Connor seemed to show a different side of the JFK assassination. A different side to what the media portrays and shows the common American. Most of the americans have only seen and heard of the JFK assassination through the media. Through the view of their eyes. The side of the assassination that the media has portrayed is the gore and sadness that has come from this tragedy. Connors video shows the Mystery, the wonder, and the media control of the incident. The film shows strange connections that can be made by what the media has said and what really happened. The use of the repeating film flicker through out the whole film gives the film an intense pace. The first scene is a flickering screen, this same feel come when the repeating shots of the motor brigade and bull fighting are shown.
For my Final Intervention project. I want to combine Nature scape and a City scape together. I want to show people in a way of intervention what we as human beings have done to milwaukee. If that is positive or negative. The way I want to go about this is by going to a river not inside the city and take a series of photographs of a pristine river scape. Take those photographs and place them on every bridge that goes through the milwaukee downtown. Giving a passer by a glimpse of what the Milwaukee downtown could have looked like at one time in our past history.
