Kennedy), Doug Michels (the Artist Driver), Curtis Schreier (the "Technoid"), News reporters as TV censor drones, [Jody Procter and Dan Calderwood (secret service agents)]. 518 Media Burn performed and videotaped, July 4, 1975, at the Cow Palace, San Francisco, California. 520 "On July 4, 1975, at San Francisco's Cow Palace, Ant Farm presented what they termed the 'ultimate media event.' In this alternative Bicentennial celebration, a 'Phantom Dream Car'--a reconstructed 1959 El Dorado Cadillac convertible--was driven through a wall of burning TV sets. Footage of the actual event, much of which was shot from a closed-circuit video camera mounted inside a customized tail-fin, is framed and juxtaposed with news coverage by the local television stations. Doug Hall, introduced as John F. Kennedy, assumes the role of the Artist-President to deliver a speech about the impact of mass media monopolies on American life: "Who can deny that we are a nation addicted to television and the constant flow of media? Haven't you ever wanted to put your foot through your television?" -- Electronic Arts Intermix website, |uhttp://www.eai.org/title.htm?id=1823 538 VHS NTSC 541 0 PFA 0500-121-16105.
