Installation Needs - Brooke
I only need one projector and possibly a sound kit.

I definitely found quite a bit of this really dense and towards the end slightly redundant as much of what was discussed was summarized into chapters. That being said, the idea of "archons" as administrators of archival footage, really hammering in that idea of who is writing history. Archival footage certainly creates an interesting display of how history can be told and manipulated, as while a camera is objective, the way it can be manipulated and construed can greatly benefit or harm depending entirely on who's behind the camera. I think that idea really works its way into archival based art in an interesting way, as the artist has this form of authority in how to turn the pre-filmed footage into something new, creating this chain of differing narratives.
