Gratuitous Art Productions/Films is a collaborative video art project between Jeff Burns and Cat Gilbert. We at Gratuitous seek out the connections and inflections between today's audience and yesterday's bully pulpit. Gratuitous techniques have been keystones in both propaganda and filmmaking in the 20th century and over time, connotations-symbolic, political or otherwise allow us to manipulate sound and images to gratuitously inflict our own narratives.
