Sometimes facts matter. Every cook knows that hot glass looks like cold glass, but hot glass burns. Every mechanic knows that a broken oil guage can make a driver destroy a car. Facts matter. Facts have never mattered more than they do in Iraq. Hundreds of Billions have been spent. Tens of thousands of US soldiers have been wounded and disabled. Thousands of US soldiers have been killed and more will die. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's have died and millions have fled their country. The war that started in Iraq is fast becoming a "Middle East" war. Things are bad and getting worse . . . And still you hear the same lies from the talking heads and politicians. US Soldiers who have served on the ground in Iraq can tell you the truth about the war. They'll tell you why we are losing. They'll tell you what they've actually seen and they've actually done. They'll tell you how they know the US has lost the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. They'll tell you how the US Military is being destroyed and how that will put you and your family at risk for decades to come. To protect yourself and your family, you need the facts.

The rhapsodic structure destabilizes linear time, highlighting the fragmentation of time, memory and history and its metaphoric implications of what became of the Former Yugoslavia. The collection of detritus and shards of memories, evidence, and experiences builds to a melodic echo that resonates with the absurdity of the situation and reflects a political and social imperative beyond the conflicts in Yugoslavia into of our present day crises.
By manipulating time, we wanted to evoke both the danger as well as the power and euphoria of collective experience.

UntitledAfter WWII, Americans teenagers discovered leisure . They no longer had to work to support their families, and they had almost nothing to do. It seems like a cliche now, but bored teenagers were a completely new phenomenon, young minds eager to explore the limits of perception and pleasurable experience.

They were designing the personalities of the future, standardized citizens, with a new set of behaviors and new fears and taboos.
