Mike Bouchet, 16x9 Action Film (screened at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles) This feature-length video projection constituted 144 action films screened simultaneously in a rectangular grid, accompanied by a mind-blowing aggregate of music, gunshots, explosions, and screams all 144 sound tracks mixed as one. The viewer could either trace individual story lines, analytically jumping from movie to movie, mixing and matching image with audio, or take the experience as a singular hypnotic expression. Either way, Bouchet shamelessly and systematically exploited typical blockbuster films to create a new cinematic experience.
