Digital video, sound, 16:9
Dur: 52 min

This is a trailer for Hollywood Burn (2011), a manifesto against the corporate control of cultural history. Mimicking the hyperbolic rhetoric of today's copyright cops, this 52 minute work pits a righteous league of video pirates against the evil tyrant Moses and his copyright commandments. Plundered from hundreds of sources, this project functions as both a treaties on the ethics of media piracy and a speculative history of sampling practices, stretching from the avant-guarde to the online remix.
