Three Things for Two Things (2014)

*Performed at the Hammer Museum in collaboration with KCHUNG TV for the Made in LA Biennial*
Andrew Norman Wilson with Sam Davis

A PowerPoint presentation randomizes 150 examples from three categories sourced from the common knowledge of Wikipedia pages:

1). Kashi products
2). ski resorts
3). dog breeds

An image of each example from each category is projected onto a wall while maintaining a cycle following the order in which the categories are listed above. Each example appears for 5 seconds, and between each example is a 3 second dissolve.

Norm speaks the name of each example through a microphone as its image appears, his voice modulated by artificial reverb. He is wearing a 3XL UCLA Basketball jersey and a facial mud mask.

Sam plays foley sounds downloaded from the internet through Quicktime, iTunes, and Chrome. He is wearing a 3XL UCLA Basketball jersey and a facial sheet mask.
