I think you need ADD to enjoy something like that. What is the point of this?

Great stuff.

I don't have ADD and still loved it.
My eyes were hurting during the stroboscopic bits though!
- what is the bit after "you have nightmares..."? and the "... good business"? I can't make it out.

Also reminiscent of Hexstatic. Especially Deadly Media (self-link).

See also TV Sheriff. And a second for Emergency Broadcast Network. This Fox bit is okay, but those previous masters must be viewed to be believed.

The best use of this technology was by Omar Faust in "CNN Concatenated"......it is hysterically funny.
For CNN Concatenated (2002), Omer Fast compiled a ten-thousand-word database from recordings of newscasters and commentators on CNN, then rearranged the spliced words into existential monologues that are directly addressed to the viewer. CNN Concatenated becomes a mesmerizing, darkly humorous questioning of the viewer’s psychologicalstate and agency within a media-saturated environment
If anyone can find a copy of this, I'll gladly pay for it!

OK - but yeah the Emergency Broadcast Network does better stuff overall - but always nice to see an emerging form - at least it's better than watching Space Cadets...
