ROM 0 - 2007

"ROM0 combines glitches, instructional videos, machinima, databending, operating system elements, excel-spreadsheets and sparkles."

It was made while I was a sysadmin. I would often search the local network for various file-types to use as content. For bits of the audio in the opening sequence, I broke a plate... that wasn't mine...

Towards the end, there's a sample of the Numa Numa Parrot. That was the first place I heard that song. I was under the impression that it was an original piece of work created by that parrot. (I really like his sense of timing/tempo) It wasn't until I was at a rave in Second Life and I heard another user triggering a sample of the pop song by O-Zone. I did a bit of research and found Gary Brolsma AKA Numa Numa Kid. A few months later TI and Rihanna released Live Your Life and I couldn't stop hearing it on the radio. What a weird back-door entrance to a meme...
