"The End of History" project applies data about historical events to footage of those historical events to distort and combine the two into one. The numbers of the dates of the events are used to determine what order-of-operations the events go through as well as to what extent the effects are applied. Further, the effects are symbolic of how our memory is distorted; for example, fragmentation, abstraction, saturation, etc. This specific iteration of the artwork is a combination of the founding of Denver on November 22nd, 1857 and Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech" from August 28th, 1963.
