So, I thought about my non-linear project like this: How can the idea of non-linearity tie into my concerns about our system that incorporates genocide and conflict?
I decided that the non-linear concept was perfect because despite the “Never Again” statement, it keeps happening, again and again, in seemingly unrelated places and times. Perhaps the “random” selection would provoke thoughts about the genocides’ relations to eachother and ourselves, and our system. And questions…
Instead of image clips, I decided to simply write in white text on a black background the following words:
BOSNIA, RWANDA, DARFUR, CAMBODIA
By not including images, i wanted the viewer to become more involved by accessing their own images concerning these genocides. As well, 12 seconds of just staring at the word will hopefully produce some uncomfortable interior probings.

Lovely way to adapt the concepts discussed to your context and practice…
