In a final project presented to my students at UCSD in Teddy Cruz's Structure of Art class i present the video work of Joann Yen. The assignment worked around the idea of Border (namely San Diego/Tijuana). Her conclusion was to rework found footage from Youtube re editted to this very strong piece titled "Dreaming the american dream". I please invite you to watch, if you are having difficulties i also provide the link
"Video where the audience is rather ambiguous. I wanted it so that it would literally piss off the Americans. The intended audience is not Mexican, although through the text it may seem so... The video was inspired by the numerous videos I watched about illegal Immigration and minutemen on youtube." Joann Yen
