A Selective Timeline of Censorship in the U.S.A.
2002 The Department of Justice purchases drapes to cover the two semi-nude art deco statues that have been in the Great Hall of the Department since the 1930s. Remote Stills/Under Attack, an interactive video by Ennio Bertrand is removed from the Armory Show at New York City?s Pier 88 after staff complains that the continuously-looped images of UA Flight 175 exploding into the south tower are inappropriate in light of the fact that the pier had been used for months as the staging area for attack-related operations. Remote stills/Under Attack, in which the observer can move the airplanes as he/she might in a videogame, questions the role of the observer; the illusion of distance and security that television and video screens usually evoke; and the relationship between game, fiction, and reality.
