randomly generated text animation

TRT: infinite

displayed on flat screen lcd computer monitor or as wall projection

Exquisite Corpse is a computer generated text animation. The animation intermittently cycles through phrases.  A script that randomly chooses from three data banks alternately replaces the words.  These banks contain words taken directly from real beauty products.  The animation is a survey of the absurd and seemingly random language of beauty product marketing.  It highlights the technologization and medicalization of beauty with the frequency of pseudoscientific terms.
