Carl Diehl
Polterzeitgeist
2010
1 minute excerpt, TRT: 9 minutes
Speculating on the fate of ghosts in today’s atemporal network culture, swan songs and ultimatums are delivered by the Metaphortean Researcher on behalf of obsolescent forms of hauntings.
This video is an iteration of the monologue and slide presentation produced for the live performance of the same name. In this excerpt, an increasingly urgent rant from the Metaphortean Researcher is accompanied by a rising din of telecommunications noise and densely composited video montage sequences.
