Invoice

Adrian Little, USA, 2m
A Google search produced the following results: the word money appeared 659,000,000 times, war 543,000,000, culture 408,000,000 and peace 192,000,000. With the origins of the Internet as a military tool, the sound from Invoice has been partly mined from the Internet and altered. The Internet rumor for the origin of the spoken word is that it originated from a military training video. The thrown pennies represent ritualized violence, a body count, helplessness, absurdity and consequence.
