Trying to measure something like the success of Art Dirt Redux is rather difficult. I look at it as an artwork that Rob Murphy sometimes collaborates on with me. I do see it as a media art piece. When Rob and I walk around and look at galleries there is an art history and aesthetic discourse, a shared language of conventions. When I start to edit and layer the sound it is after the fact in the studio. The audio recorder is a dumb instrument or maybe a disinterested third party. It records all things equally. It doesn’t filter out background noise or zoom in on someone’s voice the way the human mind and ear do. What it does is present me with a way to read alternative ways of hearing and present those in the final edited piece.

Iran says it has enriched uranium. Hosni Mubarak is claiming that Shia in Sunni states are traitors to their countries. The French are in political and economic gridlock. With all these urgent things going on, it seems to us that it is time to talk of something important, something that has driven and divided American politics for centuries and will continue to do so: the argument between those who have been called idealists and those who have been labeled realists in U.S. foreign policy.
