Video produced by U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is slowly rendered unintelligible. The original video is a guide to the US naturalisation process, offering viewers a series of practice questions for the citizenship test. I begin by isolating phonemes (or word sounds) in the video, and then slowly sorting and interchanging them until the original becomes multi-voiced, garbled and obscure.
