WW#3 broadcast
Two audiovisual works using two songs specifically related to flashbulb memories - Candle in the Wind ‘97 by Elton John (about the death of Princess Diana) and Where Were You? by Alan Jackson (about 9/11). Both songs were transcribed into Morse code and broadcast on a short-range transmitter. The video was taken from both karaoke programs and an archive of the now obsolete CEEFAX service.โโ
