DVD is a giddy parade of sensation with the illusion of viewer control, where the order of images is secondary to their meaningless digestion. This restless smorgasbord pollutes and supersedes the surrounding home - which
necessarily banishes tasteless kitsch (so as not to compete visually or conceptually with the life-affirming medium). In these pieces, the frames become storage units for the inert kitsch of ornamental forerunners to DVD's inchoate hyperactivity. Baroque music draws non-viewers' attention to static ornaments looking back, and transposes expected optical activity into sound.
These 'potters wheels' paradoxically critique the ubiquitous, active screens of techno-innovation.
