Synopsis
History is an interpretation made up of linear signs and symbols. By decontextualizing the signs, images are liberated from this cause-andeffect illusion. To fight against the
illusion, let there be glitch. This video is sampled from Assignment Taiwan, a propaganda film made by the US army in the 70s, introducing the colonized history and the establishment of the US military in Taiwan after World War ii.
