After spending years working at MIT and having left the NYC art scene of the 1960s, Tambellini, like many artists, experienced a time of less prolific output. However, his association with his second wife, Anna Salamone, led to their collaboration on Listen, a politically militant anti-Bush attack on the illegal wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Tambellini used the low-fidelity of digital media, interspersed with long frames of Black, to poetically respond to the atrocities once again committed by the US military industrial complex.
