In the video OUH HUO, I have assumed the role of famous curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and intervened in his TED talk. The piece creates a parody of the use of TED to share ideas, while examining the opacity of arts speak, made even denser through the inaccurate YouTube subtitles. The power of language is stripped away as it devolves into nonsense fueled by inaccurate subtitles and editing overlays. The accompanying “stills” are mixed media works that correlate to scenes from the original talk reinterpreted and reimagined through the inaccurate subtitles. These "stills" appear as part of the video but are also shown as works unto themselves.
