black hawk around , video (13.40 min.) together with hybridvideotracks, Hamburger Kunsthalle, videoclub 99, 2003

social movements and critical media more than ever are dependent on
acquiring professional techniques in order to be heard. on the other hand,
not only multi national companies and lobbyists rely on the know-how of
globally active public relations agents. more and more even governmental
and military institutions make use of pr support. while the rendon group
supports the us government in selling their so called „war on terror“ to the
islamic world, and advises pentagon’s office of strategic information
responsible for target misinformation, bin laden’s family also makes use of
renowned pr agencies in order to save their organization’s reputation.
