If you ever get to watch the old Doctor Who story "The Tenth Planet" and see the very first Cybermen, you might find that they sound very much like Robert Peston.

I consider this my greatest mashup but also the most difficult to comprehend - expressing the universal doubt and the ephiphanous journey we are all.Martin Sheen represents the young idealistic Peston thrusting for truth in the increasing chaos of a dying world view - Brando is at that place beyond wisdom at the heart of his darkness - stripped of all illusion and a resigned peace. He is a Buddha of the dark-side - he is a post-crisis Peston humbler yet more resolute.

It is the clash where an unreconstructed Peston (now) buts up against an extrapolated future (Brando) who has gained intrinsic enlightenment and the reality-gap thus creates an artistic vacuum into which the viewers thoughts, hopes and anxieties gestate in the time-gap memetic ideal. Note the last word of Brando is forget - it's about the horror of uber-knowledge and the need to forget if we are to live with any degree of grace in an unforgiving world.

The single blown-up and color-corrected Peston acts as a telling counterpoint to the half-seen images and sounds that lie deep behind the façade. Peston (now) is messenger as celebrity his doom-laden messages and staccato delivery metronomically counting us into an enveloping darkness where civilisation has ceased to exist.

Centuries ago when clearing out a workplace I cam across possibly the worst painting I have ever seen picturing an alien on a moonscape with the caption Why and he don't know - to this day the image and the slogan have haunted me and from this mainspring of bafflement comes this mashup.
WHY AND I DON'T KNOW.
