Border Unrest by Steve Bird

This video was one of my early works, before they became more narrative in content. It was made almost exclusively in "Artmatic" on a Mac using as its starting point three still photographs of flowers.

Here is the original programme note:

“Where have all the flowers gone?”

In 2005 we still justify wholesale slaughter in the name of our favourite cause. In 2005 savages, whether they wear linen robes or grey flannel suits, still murder the innocent in the name of various gods. In 2005 as democracy is enforced in far off lands by men with guns more and more citizens of so-called free countries are incarcerated without trial. In 2005 eighty percent of violence is perpetuated upon civilians.

“When will they ever learn”
