DJ Spookie

This image from DJ spooky's video shows a white, important looking man touching the shoulder of an African American man. Spooky makes this connection a focal point in this screen shot of his remix. It is interesting because the rest of the screen surrounding the white man is full of clutter and lines, the only clear and visible parts of this screen shot surround the African American man and the connection of the white man touching his shoulder. I also think it is interesting how Spooky makes it a point to emphasize the relationship of the white man and the African American man. The white man is seated above the black man who is sitting sluggishly in the chair. The white mans hair is done and he is in a suit. This gives him the image of being more educated and of a higher respect that the black man who is in less suitable clothing. Also it is important to notice the gaze of the black man compared to the white man. The white mans face is stern and it almost looks as if he is scolding or speaking strongly to the black man who is gazing at the floor straight ahead.
