Superbowl 2004
In Superbowl 2004, Pollack has deconstructed and reconstructed a familiar system to call attention to our habitual modes of perceiving information and the frenetic nature of mass media. In this work, the footage of the 2004 Superbowl has been compressed down to 7 minutes. The heavily layered aural and visual information loses its original meaning, becoming random noise, and causes our brains to seek out patterns in the chaos. As the media itself loses its original meaning, it creates an opening in the way that familiar information is experienced.
