Video - "Intelligent Design"   (00:25 min sample of 3:27 min video)

     

"Intelligent Design "

A child plays teacher come newscaster presenting the difference between Neanderthals and Humans. A seemingly random collection of images flashes by in the lower right hand corner of the screen; like those irritating pop-ups on your favorite TV show.
The images were downloaded from a Google search on “intelligent design”. The juxtaposition of the child’s narrative and the images is both hilarious and socially poignant. The piece surfaces issues of religion, race, humanity and ignorance.
