“Donald O’Finn, the master of re-purposed found footage, counterpoints the Hitchcock classic black and white film with Gus Van San’s color re-make and re-purposes scenes of the two films into a stunning work of art.”~Exhibition Catalogue BWAC Screening room.
A montage of appropriated images both singular and recurring, that represent television both as a medium, message, and as a device of conscious and subconscious cultural significance. The dreams of an old sentient television.

“The most tripped out and intelligent re-cuts of movie clips, commercials, and various other resources you can imagine…masterpieces… his work provides a superb example of the mash-up as de-contextualizing the medium from the message in order to re-conceptualize a mindful imagination”
“O’Finn, living like a post-apocalyptic caveman… is like a madman watching and cheering at the collapse of the media machine.”
“Feverishly edited encyclopedicaly strange video colleges…lively rivers, a liquid experience”
“Donald’s editing is so hyper-intuitive that the culture shocks and time warps gel into a state of half vertigo and half trance.”
