by Jamirte Trott

Video Guide, 1985, v. 7, no. 4, p. 6

In this short review, Jamirte Trott descriptively writes about Joan Jonas' video Double Lunar Dogs. Trott concludes that "[b]y constructing a hypothetical story of a planet which lost its sense of direction as a result of human violence, the tape may allude to the present condition of humanity. That is, technological production has turned humanity into a mere means of consumption, thus transforming humanity into a mechanism, a part of industry itself." (6)
