Product Description
Synopsis
For more than a year David Byrne has used the ubiquitous sales and presentation program PowerPoint as an art medium. This book of images and essays also contains a DVD which plays 5 of these pieces accompanied by original music. The book itself contains a dozen new written pieces and a lot of beautiful (subjectively speaking) images from the PowerPoint pieces that feature plastic overlays, foldouts and a whole lot more. But what is it about? It is about taking subjective, even emotional, information and presenting it in a familiar audiovisual form - using a medium in a way that is different, and possibly better, than what was intended. It is representing one thing by another thing, the other thing not the first thing and neither thing resembling the third thing.
