LiveDisasters.com is an interactive exploration of the televised disaster and the effect of real-time transmission on the recording of history. It presents a never-ending broadcast crisis, complete with technical glitches and advertising interludes, in a format that is part collage, part text, and part un-fun video game.
“A society which rashly privileges the present-real time-to the detriment of both the past and the future, also privileges the accident.“ -Paul Virilio
