warProductwar is a net project that re-presents a mash of media images and sounds drawing links between US war culture and economic interests. The project makes use of the web’s reputation as an information source, by asking users to engage in extended research based tours of existing sites while engaging in a disorientating and nonlinear browsing experience with provocative juxtapositions of images and sounds. warProductwar is an ongoing meditation and as such remains in a constant state of flux. Broken links and loose ends should be expected. Additions, deletions and changes are frequently pondered and infrequently enacted.

Artist Statement
warProductwar is a site for reflection and meditation on U.S. war culture. The project will develop over time as a series of installations through which participant/viewers may re-view cultural representations in possibly revealing (or at least troubling) juxtapositions. Through the course of the project, warproductwar will remain in a state of flux. Broken links and loose ends should be expected. Additions, deletions, and changes are continually pondered and infrequently enacted.
