This is my performance piece for the class. My intentions for this video was to show how "couch traveling" isn't as significant or as meaningful as actually traveling itself. I wanted to portray how an image is under the hands of an editor and can sometimes (most likely) distort reality and present faulty interpretations of what it really is like to experience traveling. Things such as static and watermarks get in the way of organic experience. I wanted it to mostly be an influential piece to inspire one to get up and out of the house. Thanks to Google Video, Getty Images, and Resolume.

Really cool and beautiful piece for Eluvium (which I love). At first, I didn’t like all of the watermarking and such, but then when I noticed the “YouTube” logo right there too, all of these layers of video editing ware or web site residue made the whole thing come clear about couch-travel as completely mediated and fake. Right as I made this realization, the video started breaking up, with maybe the TV effect, very nicely mixed in, to further reveal the artifice of the media object.
