Freaky Fly

by

This video shows a busy sidewalk by using a sequence of stills.  Silhouettes of dancers gets overlaid on the images and the audio which is a pretty vocally dominated song turns more electronica as the beat comes in.  We are left with this for a minute and then the image behind the dancers turns to flashy colors and then abruptly cuts to a shot of B. Wright himself eating chicken wings.  The rest of the video is basically the same silhouetted people dancing over colors or the guy eating chicken wing.  While still casual, this video has more content that can be related to the artist then some of his other works.  He invites this by using a shot of him eating chicken wings in-front of the camera.  Even if he is using himself to show a gluttony that our society has for looking into other peoples lives through video and watching mindless things, he is relating it as something he wants to say something about as an artist.
