Matthew Cusick : Video



	File on Motor Transgression		"File on Motor Transgression" is a video archive of movie car chases from the early twentieth century to the present. The project began in 2000 and continues to evolve with new car chases being added regularly. Mv4-11 is the most recent montage of footage from the archive.




	Birds of Fire		In "Birds of Fire", the Hollywood car chase is distilled to its explosive climax. Explosions are fragmented and layered onto ten planes of a decagon creating at intervals both the pentagram and its inversion. The soundtrack is a processed combination of a twelve-second sound bite from Hitchcocks The Birds and stellar radio emissions recorded from outer space.
