The video was one of the artist's first attempts at using software to animate text. It received recognition in juried festivals around the world at a time when the technique used in the work, along with the use of archival footage, was novel in the field of video art. Mehrvarz was theoretically inspired by Vilem Flusser, who believed that human eyes attempt to decipher text by following its lines, thus establishing a univocal relation through a chain of elements that compose the text (Writings, 1972). By perceiving the world through text, our understanding becomes sequential. To challenge this linear way of thinking about history and the world, Mehrvarz utilizes programming and video software to composite contrasting text, sound, and video in this work. While each video element refers to specific events, their combination creates multiple narratives. By challenging the linear narration of past events, the artist opens up new, limitless perceptions of historical events. The artist chose John Cage's vocal composition "Living Room" and Gertrude Stein's poem "The World Is Round" to convey his viewpoint on history in this video.
