Animal Charm Golden Digest (1996)

Animal Charm makes videos from other peoples videos By compositing TV and reducing it to a kind of ticridden babble they force television to not make sense While this disruption is playful it also reveals an overall essence of mass culture that would not be apprehended otherwise Videos such as Stuffing Ashley and Lightfoot Fever upset the hypnotic spectacle of TV viewing revealing how advertising creates anxiety how culture constructs nature and how conventional morality is dictated through seemingly neutral images By forcing television to convulse like a raving lunatic we might finally hear what it is actually saying
