WashMachine Video Current is the epic experimental documentary of a ten-year collaboration between performance artists, circuit benders, culture jammers, and a mad scientist, blending science fiction and visual ethnography to capture currents of expression from wartime America.

A video time capsule from a collective dreamtime.

Copies of copies disintegrate into stop-motion collage treated with paint and re-photographed, revealing a dichotomy of images and ideas reflecting upon the entropy of the American Dream when filtered through the vast network of our modern media diet.
Reality merges with Fiction. Unity is found in opposites. Our time capsule is now transmitting..

Artist Statement:

WashMachine Productions explores new cinematic experiences through collaboration, improvisation, and experimentation. Our process blends stop-motion collage, live action, and documentary to seduce, entangle, and inspire. We create a ceremony of images from the obscure recesses of myth and reality. Regenerating personal dreams and cultural artifacts invites the viewer to unlock poetic tensions between sight and sound, fiction and non-fiction, and activate awareness.
