Redistribution of Responsibility

In "Redistribution of Responsibility" I suggest that responsibility, a consequence of freedom, is itself a form of wealth, something you can watch to determine the virtue of a society or person. A society in which no one feels responsible for causal chains they have chosen to initiate because someone "higher up" has ordered it done, is one on thin ice. Freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin. When you remove one, you also destroy the other.

If you would like to purchase the five minute excerpt of the film shown in the video, you can purchase it here for the small price of $330, or just under $7.35 per minute.

Macrochip

Macrochip consists of a montage of various videography scenes from unique perspectives in time or space set to music. After the video was finished, I was particularly proud of the soundtrack. The deepest reverberating booms were captured and controlled to just the correct timing. I color adjusted every scene. The music enhances the effect of the video very well. Philip Glass's orchestra plays the startlingly eerie songs "Prophecies," and "Pruit Igoe" on synthesizer throughout the final minutes of the video, which is how Warner Music Group, in coordination with YouTube and Google were successfully able to block this video from being seen until now.

The working idea for "Macrochip" was this:

They never go to sleep...
They never stop moving...
And they never really stop working.

MUSE: Live at the VMAs - Uprising, Resistance, United States of Eurasia

MTV only showed one song by Muse, who played a full set of 12 songs across the street from the Video Music Award proceedings. The network had cut to a scene with the band beginning to play the song, "Starlight" from Black Holes and Revelations, but quickly turned away to show four minutes of advertisement. I got my hands on these three high quality videos of Muse playing three songs from their new album and wanted to upload them. YouTube found out, and withheld these videos from broadcast.

Masturbating each day keeps the doctor away!

This video had the audio track stripped or muted because Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" plays during the introduction. This intro sequence was made using Quartz Express, a program by Apple.

Glaciers

Some Chinese-sounding company claimed copyright over this video. Strange, because I happen to know that the copyright owner is an Englishman, and I do not remember using music (or Chinese music, for that matter) in the video. After a quick Google search I determined that this company did not actually exist.
