Bush TV Bratislava 2005
The day I gave my talk about Video as Urban Condition at Burundi
in Bratislava, President Bush decided to give a talk in the main
square of the city. Of course, elaborate security precautions were
in effect. However, except for 'VIP's, none of the people that came
to the square to hear the speech got to see Bush because the media
podium was in the way, or if not that, a giant TV screen. So the
people who showed up in the centre of the city in the snow, only
got to watch TV and the VIPs had the pleasure of seeing themselves
on TV. A small protest on the other side of the securtiy barrier
made a noise (unheard on the podium) and attracted a little attention
from TV crews and from a policeman with camcorder.
