Description:
"Several Interruptions," which collages together many online videos in which people are seen holding their breath underwater, is both interruption (as its name suggests) as well as documentary, in which the seemingly mundane and numerous has been made back into something unique and original.

Thomson and Craighead have personally chosen, from some 61,000 possible files on YouTube, videos that they have edited together into brief vignettes, which interrupt each other sequentially and laterally. When projected outside, the contents of "Several Interruptions" ask the audience to skirt the line between public and private space. The installation functions as a cross-section of our contemporary existence pulled from the privacy of laptops and reinterpreted in the public setting.

Projection Location:
Currently being projected on the UVP Montgomery Street venue, located adjacent to the Onondaga Historical Association at 321 Montgomery Street in Syracuse, NY.
