I have to clarify here: I am not a politic maniac. The reason why I make this piece to make fun on so-great-leader Bush is all about his humorous eloquence and his comedian charaacteristic. He deserves a masterpiece for his achievement. This project is nothing about his Iraq policy, employment strategy or personal IQ. It's all about his words.
I choose 9 clips of Bush's speeches and give each one an image of Bush's illustration. All images are presented in pixel style. At the beginning of the performance, a random clip of speech comes out automatically and a corresponding Bush's image shows up. The speech will keeps going with nothing special (except for Bush's grammar jokes) unless I make noises in 3 ways: (1) When I make "Boo" sound, the speech will be interrupted and jumps to the next random cllip. The image will break into a lot of dots and scrambles to the next image. (2) If I swing the micorphone, Bush's speaking will go backwards as fast as I swing. (3) When I make "Shh" sound, Bush's volume will get lower and lower and finally vanishes. The images shatters into a number of dots falling down and bouncing. Finally they move like worms crawling on the floor outward of the screen.
This piece was performed at Diapason, December 14th, 2006. (Thanks to unknown artists for Bush's illustrations on the Internet.)
