Heads and Globes Similarity Matrix
eddie d 2008.

It doesnt matter if youre watching your daily news broadcast on BBC, the Dutch NOS, on French or Turkish TV channels: all over the world the news is blue, intros always feature a terrestrial globe, all anchormen and -women are positioned in exactly the same spot and do these often-used bleeps perhaps contain a secret (morse) code? In Heads and Globes, Similarity Matrix, eddie d has investigated some striking similarities between news broadcasts from several countries, collected over the past ten years the title refers to a so-called similarity matrix, a mathematical way to show resemblances between several points. The editing style of this work is related to classic scratch video; with 25 edits per second, eddie d strolls ahead in the speed race of new media.

This video is way too fast for youtube so it looks pretty awful in normal quality. The high quality version looks better though.

jammer dat de standaard kwaliteit zo prut is maar high quality is prima.

weer een klassieker

wow, that must have been a lot of work. I love it!

could have been a little longer for me, especially the part where the faces mix.

you're right about the high def version, that looks a lot better.

great video though.
