The videos are comprised primarily of found sound and video footage with original monologues. When Donald Rumsfeld (former US Secretary of Defense) briefed his press secretary on how to deal with the media he said, “begin with an illogical premise and proceed perfectly logically to an illogical conclusion…They [the media] do it all the time.” In constructing the narratives in these videos, we are juxtaposing the rational against the irrational through everyday imagery of contemporary North American life.
