accidentals and substantives

mondegreens

My submission to the 60 second story project. Since the project is part of the Contagious Media Showdown , I wanted to play with ideas of transmission and mutation. My touchstones were things like Telephone, spoonerisms, the Translation game, even serial copying (this, this, and this)--in short, what Randall McLeod calls "transformission" (transformation + transmission). I collected some "mowed greens", stitched them together, and added some narrative tissue to bring out the social satire.

The best part is, I get to curse like a sailor.

Update: I've removed the mondegreens movie; if you'd like a copy, feel free to email me at kkru[at]mail[dot]rochester[dot]edu and I'll send you one.
