79 Days 

79d_sm.jpg79 Days (English version) is a networked documentary hypermedia project that looks at the media coverage of the wars in Iraq and Kosovo. Images of media coverage of the Kosovo war in 1999, interviews with Kosovars and Serbs about the war (recorded on travel in the Balkans in 2001) and live image search results for the war in Iraq are brought together. The title of the work refers to the duration of the war in Kosovo. The piece consists of 3000 files, 40 minutes of streamed video, and an ever-changing number of live generated Google image search results.
