This article from an exhibition catalog describes how video artist Gary Hill rendered artist Gregory Bateson's "Metalogue: Why Do Things Get in a Muddle?" into a video art piece. Bateson describes metalogues as conversations about problematic subjects in which the structure of the conversation is also relevant to the subject. Hill, whose work is described as astute and richly-layered, has taken one of these metalogues and transformed visual cues associated with the characters. The performance of Bateson's dialog is read backwards phonetically and then reversed to produce dreamlike speech.The author explores the dimentions of literature as possesing "voice" vs. the often "voicelessness" of raw information.
