hold at airborne
(1998)

airbornehold at airborne is a video that shows the process of the artist painting a billboard.  "think indifference" is a reference to the recent apple computer advertisements found on billboards all over the world.  the particular billboard used for this project faces south down shattuck from above a drugstore on university in berkeley, california.  the finished piece is a seven minute video with views of a handwritten note, a bowl of fruit, a receipt, a billboard-before driveby, the ladder climbing and billboard painting scene, and a billboard-after driveby.  the soundtrack was furnished by david bowie and passing berkeley motorists.
