What not to Say At the Dinner Table (The Four Doors To The Apocalypse)
This project is derived from the book of revelations; the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and the traditional taboo subjects to bring up in a conversation at a dinner table.
The irony being does anyone actually sit down at a dinner table, much less actually converse with each other.
99.9% of the video and information shown here, was researched and obtained by using the internet.
This information however is increasingly controlled bought and filtered to the masses.
Without intervention of ones free will to see various viewpoints from sources other than corporate owned media, will further lead to history repeating but for how much longer.

All I Want is To Be A Happy Ma
2005 |
|
Video, interactive installation, mobile, 3d collage, pendullum, custom post-it-notes
Incorporating video, interactive installation and 3D collage, Stephen explores what is supposed to make one happy. Sarcastic, introspective, disturbing, an uncensored look at society and the state of the world. He invites one to write (provided questions on post-it-notes) what makes them; happy, angry, fearful, and what one wishes for, and ‘post’ their comments directly onto the installation.
Videos:
SMILE: 25'
AMERICAN ALTER: 6'26"
post-it-notes: Questions:
How are you?
What makes you angry?
What makes you happy?
What do you wish For?
What are you afraid of?
