An art school project from 1995, this was Dooney's first attempt to adapt imagery from her paintings to another medium. She originally wanted to animate the Babe on a huge neon or plasma screen billboard and position it among other, real ones in an urban setting. She intended it to be repetitive, hypnotic, even a little tedious, just like advertising. It sells no product but the Babe herself and whatever the viewer might think she represents: 'Blade Runner' meets cutesy, low res' anime. The video was influenced by Andy Warhol's first film, 'Sleep'. Like Warhol's film, 'Homogenous Babe' was designed to be absorbed as an ambient texture, seeping slowly into the audience's subconscious.
Why, I never knew there was a different version of this track in 1995 already.
