Beautifully filmed piece that works mainly because of soundtrack....
With Muzak for The Invisible People it was my intention to create a piece that put in contrasts two spaces of confinement: The classical space of the hospital/poor farm and the virtual space of the internet. Both spaces symbolize a type of invisibility of the subject. The physical sequestering of otherness(the poor, mad, undesirable) has become spectral under the fashionable guise of spectacle and amusement and so, in the video, the decaying physical space of the Hospital/farm becomes overrun by the voices of the specters of the virtual madhouse. Using search words such as "insane", "poor" as my search words I used the popular websites Youtube and Youporn to create a Muzak soundscape for the ghosts of the abandoned and NYC Farm Colony.
