Richard Grusin has a video up called 1-20-09. Along with some others, Grusin has ‘entertained’ the fear that the Warner act of 2006 will keep George Bush in office next year (something Bush could do relatively easily and arbitrarily by claiming a state of emergency based on classified information). Grusin is putting his theoretical concept of ‘premediation’ to the test, wondering if the exposure of this scenario can pre-empt it and keep it from actually occurring. If Bush and the media were able to make the Iraq war seem like a foregone conclusion, can this tactic be used to fight back? Grusin’s work is always inspiring, and it is hard to imagine a more significant topic for him to take up.
