The Lives of Infamous Men

About This Project

This is a generative work drawing upon the Internet Archive TV News collections. It interpolates Michel Foucault's essay "The Lives of Infamous Men" with talking heads, advertisements, disaster reporting, and other archival footage, each iteration producing a random walk through the past decade of mass media.
