In “Ultraconcentrated”, two complimentary channels of video content are spliced and distorted with identical instructions. The right frame manipulates violent and horrific video sequences captured and edited from fictional police dramas broadcast on network television. The left frame performs the same operations on the advertisements aired during these broadcasts.
