Something Cool From My Buddy

My friend Andrew Goodman just sent me a link to his latest project "Exhumation" - go watch it here.

This piece is particularly well served by reading the abstract/artist's statement, part of which I'll quote here

Exhumation is an interactive piece exploring the role of the image in the creation and perpetuation of scientific racism in the 19th century. Just as a body may be exhumed in order to further a criminal investigation, the text and images in Exhumation represent a body of evidence that has been willfully buried in the hopes of avoiding the persecution of history.

Check it out and visit his his site AndrewLloydGooman.com for more cool stuff.

Not be overly critical (every writer turns a sour sentence once in a while) but what the hell happened here?
