After contemplating the various pieces included in the Broadcast show. My favorites were the Chris Burden commercials. Burden approached local TV stations, declaring that he represented a company called Chris Burden and wished to buy commercial time slots to promote his company's product (which was himself). The commercials took the form of plays on political advertising.
The idea of the witty, satiric content of the pieces, played to a mass audience, made them my personal favorites.
These pieces subverted the notion of broadcast commercial advertising by selling the artist himself as a product- a notion that seems to get funnier every year...
