THE BIRDS without the birds


Artist Martijn Hendricks has completed a video art project entitled "Give Us Today Our Daily Terror" which is an exact copy of Hitchcock's 1963 film THE BIRDS, but with every bird digitally erased from the image. You can see some excerpts from the project on his site and the result is a strange, titillating and unsettling work. What is it with deletion and pop culture these days? First it was Garfield, now Hitch.

I guess about a year back the FBI released some child porn pictures with the child digitally removed, in case the public could recognize the background location. I think it worked, but it was definitely pretty disturbing.
