Thursday, December 12 the museum of modern art PS one has an exhibition about the operation in the golf war between 1991 in 2011 after the check-in you could directly get access to the museum and this exhibition was projected in three different floor of the museum. It's was projected in a small room with two seats where people can seat and watch the show and it's a lot of sequence of news put together. From the headline to the the news session itself they cover the I Iraq war as it was during that time its actual real news information from that about that war that Happened 10 years ago and it's really treated in different angle and what I really noticed during the presentation of the show is that there are advertising, commercial it was included in the the news I found it interesting between two raids of the US Army they put on a commercial of chocolate or between an intervention of Saddam Hussein they had a commercial soul of cartoon also this war was considered as a TV war because every TV station was invited a specialist on the the table to talk about the war and what are the reason why the United State of America went on war against Iraq and they treated this war into different angles At some point, they were more focusing on the economical impact of the war they went on Wall Street and see how the market react on America going on War against Iraq and every day they will have a section on the impact of the war on the stock market and how it impact the prices of oil because Iraq was a big producer of oil. Also they talk about the protest in the streets about what American think of this war. The large majority of American was not agree with the US going in war against Iraq so lot of people protest saying they do not want another Vietnam they went on the street of New York they went to Chicago everywhere in the US the people were protesting against this war and also they broadcast images of US Army bombarding cities in Iraq killing civilians and also image of people that fled their home and some other images showing people being rescued after a bombing. They were also showing images of Iraq national TV showing Saddam Hussein talking to his soldiers going to see the population and then also image of Iraqi soldiers that captured an American soldier and interviewed him in national tv. And they were also juxtaposing these informations with commercial that has nothing to deal with the seriousness of those news sessions. The way that was there was treating the information was really interesting because of the way they have edited the exhibition. It’s was agenced from topic to topic when they were talking about economical subject of the war the expert of the Wall Street will be invited and when it’s political, then political expert will be invited they will have the ambassador of Iraq to talk about the situation of his country. Also they will talk about countries like Saudi Arabia that was really part of this war that's where the US Army was based and that’s were all of the mission will be planned. And saoudi Arabia Was not only helping the us but they were part of the war with the allies. And from the serious subject they went back to the weather forecast it’s is like like is smooth here in the us despite the chaos that is going in Iraq. And they were a fake news written in the middle of the screen sometime. And for the American journalists that went on the field they were told what to film and what not to film they were not free to do their job. And when the us army was doing their press conference they were only giving information that they wanted public to know.
