0:00Copy video clip URL Image Union opening. (Begins abruptly.)

0:32Copy video clip URL “Let Them Eat Cheese” by Kirk Von Heflin. This is a segment on the pressure-filled life on a farm during the eighties. A nice collection of revealing images and sounds taken from a Wisconsin dairy farm, including a couple of very brief interviews with the family who lives on it. A lawyer, Dan Evans, discusses two tactics used by the Production Credit Association that contributes to the farmers’ financial troubles.

8:51Copy video clip URL “The Treadmill” by The Video Bros. Mixed up images of a bicycle as a man pedals and goes nowhere. He almost seems to be riding on air. A din of non-bicycle related sounds accompanies the footage. We eventually see that a painting of a country road hangs before him, and he appears to ride on it.

11:10Copy video clip URL “Dangerous Stranger” by Stevo Wolfson. Black and White ’50s footage with Indie-type rock song (“It seems so real, I can feel it, so why can’t I touch it?”) playing throughout. (No sync sound.) Tells the story of a kidnapping and follows the criminal and the police around through the town until the kidnapper is caught in the end.

17:50Copy video clip URL “Industrialization of Dream Ejaculating Ecstasy of Mind” By Stevo Wolfson. Abstract, psychedelic images accompanied by unrecognizable sounds. Bright colors, very “trippy”. Also includes various shots of a person falling from a building, a person pressing some type of buttons, and hands wiggling around in front of the camera. Very ’60s and swirly.

21:41Copy video clip URL “The Glass” by Doug Hall. A boy wearing sunglasses stands in front of a white wall and waves his hand above a wine glass to create sound even though he is not actually touching the glass. After a moment of this, the glass shatters.
