Multichannel video and sculptural installation for SPARKcon 2010. Interrogates the relationship between the television and its audience, as structured by broadcast sporting events like NASCAR. With its roots in rebellion, NASCAR paradoxically rejects and advertises American power structures like the military-industrial complex. Does the exhilarating lure of speed conjure freedom or serve as a smokescreen for interests at odds with the American notion of the good life?
