NBPC New Media Insitute: NMI 2006 ~Black Hole 2 mins
Produced by Cauleen Smith, Sergio Rapu, Steeve Coupeau, Naimah Fuller
Price: $1.00
This work is one in a series of video podcasts in which the receiver "intercepts" 60 second messages from "travelers" either trying to find their way home or trying to run as far away as they can, but always hoping to maintain a connection with those they've left behind, or those they seek. These postcards express the pathos and longing of homesick travelers alienated from both the place they come from and the places to which they travel. They are communications of love and frustration. They are instructions and signs.
The NBPC NMI is sponsored by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
