Unearthed time capsule transmits the crossed signals of performance artists, circuit benders, culture-jammers and a mad scientist in the epic experimental documentary from the WashMachine art collective. Blending science fiction and visual ethnography through audio/video processing of the original and the copy, to reflect upon the dissonance between the personal and cultural. Pedestrian interviews, stop-motion collage, science-fiction fantasy and video-journal entries from a vibrant sub-culture of artists create a collective current of questions and expressions from ten years of Wartime America. In a unique process of open collaboration and chance operations we are mixing fiction with non-fiction to confront conflicts of cultural identity. A precious document of a pivotal moment in recent history and an experimental ethnography of a modern community of artists.—Anonymous
