A handmade film interrogating the society of the spectacle — the screen itself as subject.

Two-minute handmade Debordian critique of the spectacle — the gesture is the entire piece, and the gesture is decades old. Sincere, dated, brief enough to forgive.
Quinn enacting a critique of mediation through the most unmediated handmade filmmaking method is the precise Len Lye / Debord paradox the moment calls for, and two minutes is the right scale for the gesture. Modest in profile, principled in form.
Vimeo's anti-bot wall blocked deeper page access — 2:10 handmade Debordian critique of mediation is a serious conceptual frame, but without visible craft signals on the page I'm holding judgment.
