satellite television feeds not intended for public consumption. The
result of his research was Spin. This 1995 feature-length documentary
provides insights into how television is used by the industry and by
politicians to mold and distort the American public's view of reality.

also provided raw satellite footage.In 2007, Springer released another
documentary, The Disappointment: Or, The Force of Credulity. He earned
a M.F.A. in art from the University of California, Santa Barbara and
his works have been shown at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the
Whitney Museum in New York City, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in
London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and ZKM in Germany.
