The collage of flikery footages depicts the huge flow of information of mass media. Images we see on TV, on Internet contains more information than we need, even on one single item. For example, for a football game, there is already a wide range of selections online or TV channels we can choose, excluding radio and podcast. It is the wide range of choices that makes us take it for granted, that allows us to jump from one source to another without digesting the content. It also reflects the relationship between audio and visual. In here, Portuguese and German would not make a big difference for me, it is the images I am watching helps me understand and it is the huge amount of images I am viewing that I almost ignore the importance of the audio. The thing that keeps my interest is the familiar voices, the articulation of a language that provokes my nostalgia. | The collage of flikery footages depicts the huge flow of information of mass media.

The audio is taken from a Hong Kong film, Beast Cops (1998), directed by Gordon Chan and Dante Lam. The summery of their conversation is that what matters in life is not about doing things to please the others, it is about doing things to please yourself. The dialoge is simple and it becomes sacastic when the voice is dubbed to teenagers' conversation but not the adults, as this simple topic can also be discussed among teenagers. Whereas in the film, it is discussed among men who look masculine and mature. | The audio is taken from a Hong Kong film, Beast Cops (1998), directed by Gordon Chan and Dante Lam.
