Description
Under the guidance of Professor Robert Derr, students in the class 'Looking At Video Art' created videos that reflect the 1970s. These are just a few of the videos selected from the class. Students also wrote a reflection paper over their work. To understand the students' videos, please take time to read their interpretations and reflections. Please look forward to future video collections and support the students in Professor Robert Derr's class.

- [00:00:24.325]about what happened the other day?

- [00:00:31.807]ROTC building on fire.
- [00:00:33.470]Person 1: So, what? You don’t just kill
- [00:00:34.810]peaceful protestors because some
- [00:00:36.378]people burned a building.
- [00:00:38.067]Person 2: You weren’t even there. Don’t
- [00:00:39.568]sound too sure about what happened.
- [00:00:41.578]Person 1: What about that Watergate
- [00:00:42.599]thing the other day?
- [00:00:43.610]Person 2: Don’t believe everything
- [00:00:44.526]you hear.
- [00:00:45.426]Person 1: Nixon spied on
- [00:00:46.420]his political opponents.
- [00:00:48.020]Person 2: Politicians spy on
- [00:00:48.800]each other all the time. What’s important
- [00:00:50.577]is that the government is doing
- [00:00:52.257]what’s in the best interest of the people.
- [00:00:53.538]Person 1: Which people?
- [00:00:54.847]The rich? The white? The men?
- [00:00:57.793]Person 2: Now you’re overexaggerating.
- [00:00:59.103]Don’t believe everything you
- [00:01:00.165]hear in the media.
- [00:01:01.726]Person 1: Oh. The Vietnam War just ended.
- [00:01:03.892]Person 2: I can’t believe
- [00:01:04.646]we left defeated.
- [00:01:05.740]Person 1: We shouldn’t have been
- [00:01:06.537]there in the first place.
- [00:01:08.188]Person 2: Our goal was to stop
- [00:01:09.170]the spread of communism.
- [00:01:10.710]Person 1: And to do that, three million
- [00:01:11.862]innocent people had to die, and over
- [00:01:14.065]fifty-eight thousand American
- [00:01:15.167]soldiers lost their lives.
- [00:01:17.148]Person 2: They were there to do a duty.
- [00:01:19.173]Person 1: And the government spat
- [00:01:19.882]on them in the end.
- [00:01:21.416]Person 2: You should thank the government
- [00:01:22.280]that you still live in a free capitalist society.
- [00:01:25.008]Person 1: You mean the society where
- [00:01:26.225]students have to pay through the nose
- [00:01:27.958]for a decent college education? And if the
- [00:01:30.519]government really did care about the
- [00:01:32.038]American people, then it would invest its
- [00:01:34.517]massive wealth into giving all
- [00:01:36.337]Americans medical insurance.
- [00:01:39.018]Person 2: Ahh. You’re such a pessimist.
- [00:01:41.551]Person 1: Yeah? Well maybe it’s
- [00:01:42.702]time for some change.
- [00:02:01.846]"Wait"
- [00:02:07.469]"Who am I?"
- [00:02:19.051]"Wait"
- [00:02:22.884]"Who am I?"
- [00:02:31.218]"Wait..."
- [00:02:36.368]"Who... am I?"
- [00:02:43.966]"Where am I?"
- [00:02:48.771](heavy breathing)
- [00:02:59.292](heart beating)
