Spin | Feed

[As part of our celebration of the U.S. presidential inauguration, here's the first section of Spin, Filmmaker|artist Brian Springer's brilliant documentary on media and the 1992 election. Zepa 22, who posted the entire film–in six parts–on his YouTube channel, includes the following information:

"Footage you were never supposed to see

Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption. The result of his research is SPIN, one of the most insightful films ever made about the mechanics of how television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public's perception of reality."]




The entire film can also be downloaded from the Illegal Art Web site.
