Zorns Lemma2 - silent single channel video 12 mins. (2007)

Zorns Lemma2 is a remake of a Hollis Frampton structuralist film from 1970 and consists of sets of signs photographed off online webcams and arranged alphabetically in one-second intervals. In each subsequent set, one letter of the alphabet is replaced by a video clip chosen as representative of a new visual language of surveillance cameras, continuing until all letters are replaced by image video clips. In place of the all-English signs photographed in Manhattan in Frampton's film, signs are gathered from hundreds of webcams in dozens of countries and in as many languages.
