In Ontogenesis, Tanaka interweaves electronically altered images of American patriotism–the Statue of Liberty, Uncle Sam, waving flags–with footage of the Vietnam war, bombs dropping, and 1960s political figures (L.B.J. and J.F.K.) to chronicle the progress of American nationalism in the space/nuclear age.
