Gary Lindgren – Somerset New Jersey
My art is rooted in painting and I approach video the same way that I would an empty canvas. The footage and editing equipment become the paints and brushes. All of my work begins with a desire to create. Being creative means taking risks. The actual process itself becomes a record of an attempt to be creative.
‘Legacy’ uses footage from The State of the Union Address. I removed all of the words that were phony.

i was laughing so hard during this one…..good job, very successful in your use of repetition and also editing this down to highlight what you believed was important about the speech
Comment by karie February 28, 2008 @ 1:11 amwhat i enjoyed most about this video was that the sound and imagery would both be humorously successful individually as well as a whole…..its basically a three in one art piece!!
Comment by Amy Stieve March 11, 2008 @ 6:11 pmI couldn’t believe this was all from one speech! Let alone the most watched speech and one of the most important speeches a president makes, one would think that he would be more prepared for something so important. This was very humorous to watch!
Comment by Mary March 13, 2008 @ 5:17 pmI felt as if I saw this before. The concept was interesting. I just wanted more from it.
Comment by Nate Bell March 17, 2008 @ 6:15 pmIt is nice to see someone critique the work of another’s speech and edit it down to what the core of importance is. Lindgren has accomplished this well.
Comment by heather March 21, 2008 @ 11:34 amI though this piece was really interesting. It plays with some mighty topics and I’m not sure it addressed these issues quite enough. I guess I wanted more from this. It was like watching a political cartoon in that the viewer had to fill in the blanks.

Your legacy is cemented by exposing Bush’s. Good work!
