project represents another example of context performance and
focused on the production of short and satirical video for playback
on alternative television. At this time, Don had developed a
fully-functioning video editing studio at the university. He
had been seeking opportunities to develop work for local television.
Two works were created in this series and were shown as continuous
features on Alternating Currents television in Victoria, BC.
Yellow Pages was a video protest concerning the disgusting nature
of the categories featured in the local edition of the yellow
pages telephone book. The second video production grew out of
a street protest involving parking fines. Don Bergland was living
and working in a downtown studio at this point in his life.
The situation required him to park on the street where he acquired
a large number of parking tickets. In protest, Don developed
a script based on those who give out parking tickets and he
and noted photographer, Daniel Sikorski, gathered and produced
the required video footage for the satirical piece entitled
A Modern Duty: |
