To the outsider the American political campaign process is a strange and alien show and dance. A ballet of pundit pagentry pandering, bitsize bantering bits, abnormal anamalistic antagonisism. Nowhere else does it like the 50 states do it, with every passing year seemingly to become a charachter of the previous cycle.
So fast does this serpentile circus move that more often then not the comedy and ironic mockery made of it ages out before it reaches saturation. SNL clips that age like milk, New Yorker comic strips meant to be absurdly fantastical become crystal balls, Gaffs that would sink anyone a decade ago becoming common place.
“run fragmentation” was the title of the political paper I wrote about the nature of media in the American campaign. Tracing the exponential growth “unprecidation sitation” back to late 20th century origins. Bush Sr’s “Manniquin Handshake”, Clinton’s Saxophone Solo, The “Dean Scream”, “You Betcha” and “Hockey Mom” outreach of Palin to “Little Jeb” and “Lying Ted”. Drawing a throughline towards the policial climate leading into Trump’s second run.
These were printed at Large scale with bright saturation and contrast and hung on walls for viewing alongside the requisite reading material. Unfortunately the research and paper written was lost in a incident involving migrating backups of my work. Today all that remains are these low resolution proofs of the visual side presented here.
