In Webisode 1
of deadend.com, Adrian and Harold question the reality of
sensational video clips they have downloaded from the internet.
www.deadend.com challenges its viewer to do the same: to attempt to
determine what is "real," and what makes "real" "real."
This ongoing
feature, called "Truth or Travesty," will present a series of media examples -
images, audio, video, and text - and invite you to try to determine which are
recordings of actual events, and which are ingenious manipulations of media
form.
Clip #1: ATM Robbery
Adrian shows Harold a video clip he has downloaded of
the internet, of a vicious assault at an ATM machine. Harold questions whether
it is real.
