Good Luck / Guilty consciencie

Eugeni Bonet

Title: Good luck 
Technique: video
Length: 1' 5''

A minute for Eugeni Bonet's Interventions TV 2009.

The Wheel of Fortune is a successful television contest that has been on air since 1975, a franchise that has extended around the world, in Spain under the name of: La Ruleta de la Suerte. However, the pretext for this piece is a fragment of the soundtrack of Good Night, and Good Luck (George Clooney, 2005), where we can hear a speech delivered by the journalist Edward R. Murrow about the highs and lows of television. The title is a product of the dissociated coincidence of both elements.

Title: Guilty conscience
Technique: video
Length: 1' 5''

A minute for Eugeni Bonet's Interventions TV 2009.

A zapping mosaic, by the means of a TDT tuner, makes up an image: a blinking spill of images, I should say. The pretext of this piece is an extract from the Clave: Omega (The Osterman Weekend, Sam Peckinpah, 1983) film soundtrack. When the information and show business industries recreate themselves in their own stigmas and appeal to the freedom of their audiences, they create a double guilty conscience: "if you want to return to reality turn off the TV".
