"See the Elephant!" is an immersive
video installation featuring footage from inside and outside of the 2004
Republican National Convention, in which
four screens depict four different viewpoints: conventioneers, protesters,
police/security, and non-aligned bystanders.
This projected piece includes an atmospheric
surround audio mix (created by electronic musician J Lesser) featuring natural
sound,
impromptu interviews and overlapping content to create an intelligible, multi-linear,
political narrative. (2004, 1hr)
About the creator: Ryan Junell is a San Francisco-based video artist whose
work has appeared on MTV2, ResDVD Resistance, Sonar Festival (Spain),
