Spaghetti 12 mins. Spaghetti, considers the violence and impact of the Philippine's colonized history through situating cultural media and personal memories of spaghetti from an American and Philippine perspective. The web program randomly positions youtube videos featuring either American or Philippine spaghetti onto multidimensional surfaces inside the browser while an audio narrative plays connecting memories of eating the dish in both locations. After the web program is initiated, the site endlessly spawns new windows until the amount of processing power causes the computer to overwhelm and the browser to eventually collapse, freeze and deprecate; mimicking my inability to understand or make sense of the unanswered questions and origins of this dish.
