《Real Reels》An approach similar to ‘supercut’ is employed to make real-time audio-visual instruments on the basis of samples taken from recurrent subjects found in TFCC newsreels, including officials’ speeches or listening audiences. The samples are deconstructed and collaged using rules of algorithm design. By altering the number of speakers and power hierarchy, the information flows through the scalar chain or between the majority and the minority, and the relationship between discourse and power is re-interpreted.
