Gimme Some Truth: Capitalisms 2: The Family You Choose
How do we organize attention, and who do we grant this authority to? Perhaps the ‘second family’ of chosen ones (or did they pick you?) offers new portals and possibilities. This program looks at the too familiar aftershock of the American election (surely as Zizek suggested, everyone in the world should be allowed to vote on such an important matter), 9-1-1 (as it used to be known, the CIA-led coup in Chile) and Palestine. The program ends with an extended swim with my mother, followed by a closing letter from my friend Fred. – Mike Hoolboom.
