Building Cages
The fundamental building block for Camp X-Ray is a unit of razor wire. Thanks to google image, we can replicate it virtually. The first object Bubbuhcuh makes is a cylinder. In no time at all we have a cage, no a bank of cages. It’s starting to come to life.
GONE GITMO was developed at a MacArthur sponsored residency at BAVC New Media Producers Institute in 2007. Thanks to our early supporters: Joi Ito, Ben Batstone-Cunningham, and Steve Anderson and Holly Willis of the Institute for Multimedia Literacy at USC School of Cinemtatic Arts. Acknowledgements also to the Annenberg School of Communicatios: Professor Douglas Thomas, Tori Horton, Evonne Heyning. Also Frank Fox, Cinco Pizzocato and Matthew Lee, Bernard Drax.
