Online Feature: Survival Strategy

by Laine Zisman Newman

Through spoken word and a collage of video footage, Survival Strategy by Laine Zisman Newman explores the ways in which capitalism, neoliberalism, and the everyday rhythm of Western life combine and collide through the prioritization of ownership, purchasing and wealth. Performing the mundane alongside the spectacular, this video also aims to question and challenge linear temporalities which structure daily routine. Behind the spoken word track, repeated sounds from NASA space missions point to the simultaneous universality and inconsequentiality of human existence. Ultimately, the video aims to engage the theme of “selling out” through what it means to buy in. http://youtu.be/VcO3pFWJLck
