Dear Bill Gates
16mm, 17 min, 2006
A simple correspondence evolves into a poetic visual essay exploring the ownership of our visual history and culture. Combining original and archival film, video and images from the internet, Dear Bill Gates draws unexpected connections among mining, memory and Microsoft.
Original music by Adam Granduciel.
