Pierre Bismuth & Cory Arcangel, Untitled, 2008
1:27 min. (loop)
Edition of 5
In ‘Untitled’, Pierre Bismuth’s strategy of short-circuiting cultural products and Cory Arcangel’s interest in low-end technology come together. The two wryly sabotage Guy Debord’s now classic indictment of late capitalism, the film La société du spectacle, by simulating a constant weakness of the video projector, the instruction ‘Change Bulb’ appearing over the images througout the film.
