The video works in "We are So Much Better Than This-Performing the Truth/Perusing a Lie" subvert the symbiotic relationship between the script, the voice, its owner, and potential embodiment. Hovering between abstract images and spectral bodies, the voice is never stabilized in these works, it is either edited to the wrong sync point or created from a falsified script. This screening traces the breadth and variation of the video voice, including the queering of popular Americana In Steve Reinke's "Anthology of American Folk Song" (Canada, 2004), the replaying of counter-revolutionary voices in Hayes "SLA Screed 16" (USA, 2002) and exhausting the voice of cultural tourism in Dabo's "Wellcomme"(Croatia, 2004). A range of techniques is employed in these works, from lipsynching to de-synchronization, shifting the authority of the disembodied voice, re-inhabiting it with freudian slips, miscalculations, polymorphous perversity and human desire.
