Curation of the Discover of Magnetic North video

Discovery of Magnetic North by Richard Jerousek and Brian Phillips [2007] raises many questions. People and situations filmed are distant from the viewer; they fade away by the television effects, the music and the distant time from when they were shot. Characters have their own stories and emotions, but futuristic buildings and medical imaging are interfering. I have the feeling looking at the video that individuality is dissolved in technology and media. Or maybe is it the time passing by that dissolves the scenes from the 70s; and our attempt to remember them is altered  by the media and dreams of technology from back then. In both cases, the video plays with individuality, memory and technology.
