Description of Vog:

This is the video that accompanied the first iteration of my vogma manifesto. The video was filmed on a digital still camera travelling on the airport bus from Olso airport (Gardemoen) into the city. It has two text tracks, one of which is the title of the work and a second, which begins around 25 seconds into it, which is each of the original manifesto points.

In the current version the text track appears to have set a specific font or size so that (on my computer at least) the text is unreadable. As the movie is targetted here to play in QuickTime player simply choose to show it at twice it's original size and you will be able to read the text.
