For
a visual and auditory remix of their music video 'Numb' (1993) U2
enlisted the talents of 'The Emergency Broadcast Network'.This video
employs a similar cut and paste technique to the work of Lucky People
Center and also comments on conformity, mass production and consumer
culture.At the end of the video you will probably feel quite Numb
yourself due to the repetitive beats and visuals along with the
intentional droning vocal delivery that all combine to reinforce
the meaning of the lyrics. Images of assembly lines, the military,
television commercials are shown, rewound and played again, displaying
the world if stuck in a looping video signal unable to choose a
new channel or just cease the current programming altogether...
