The aim of this competition is to challenge artists and activists to reconfigure current Drug War messaging. Television commercials and educational videos are the strongest tools of the War on Drugs. Long time coming is th cultural response from the D.A.R.E. Generation, who has been bombarded with messages like “Drugs equal terrorisim”, and “This is your brain on drugs, and questions?” all the while being used as the primary excuse to justify racist public policies. The Drug War Remix Competition will culminate into one evening of discussions, projections and prize giveaways.

Version>04 Selections
45Minuets: Dancing the Whitewash Waltz – Lanfranco Aceti
This is a video representing the latest conflict between reality and illusion in the representation of power. It also attempts to decode the structures of mis-representation as a self delusional state instead of an illusionary reality. The whitewash becomes a looped condition, where perhaps the only escape is to switch off the medium.
