Ryan Trecartin - "Wayne's World"

"Wayne's World"

According to the creators, this is basically a shot at mass media's impact on people and their values. Trecartin uses multiple "music videos" and skits, in his own incredibly unique way of course, to express different topics, including the publics infatuation with celebrity relationships, the "significance" of the images portrayed by music videos (aimed more at hip-hop booty-shaking videos I think), and of course sex. I can't really say I like what they do, and from the other works I've seen by him, they all seem to be a little too similar in overall style for my taste ("Valentine's Day Girl" for example). It almost just seems silly for the wrong reasons to me.
