In "Top Ten Top Ten" I combine the first ten search results for top ten videos on YouTube, riffing off the desire to want to watch everything at the same time.

The piece acts as a parallel to the phenomenon of white noise that exists in over-stimulating media-rich environments. The blended videos in “Top Ten Top Ten” begin as a deluge of information. As videos with shorter durations end, the relationships between the remaining videos becomes more distinct until only one video remains. The videos included in this project are:
