Do Great Things (2016)
My video work “Do Great Things“ remixes Scholz's painting Industrial Farmers, replicating its visual composition, but replacing its characters, props and setting with those of tech hippie culture. Instead of a priest and his wife, there is a mid-twenties tech couple. And in place of the Bible, the techie holds Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." The military bust in the anterior is replaced by a bust of Steve Jobs. And out the window is not a machine and a man, but a recreation of a Burning Man sculpture in front of which a 3D model dances on a loop.
