The Metaphysics of Media
Hi Peter, Just watched this again and find many great insights. I hope you do not think that my video was suggesting that technology could save us. On the contrary, I put the words "some have suggested that technology alone can save us" at the end as a way of noting that technology will NOT save us (that's why it was followed by the "I Facebook through my classes" note). I do think we must recognize the possible potentials (as well as the pitfalls) of this new media environment though. (1 week ago)

Us
I saw this at 24/7 at USC and was totally blown away by its beauty and subtle power. I heard others gasp a bit as it ended, so I know I wasn't the only one. I will be sharing this with others in the DIY community, suggesting that it could be our anthem ... a den of thieves, contagious, taking hold of the media environment and making it our own ... just beautiful. Thank you. (4 months ago)
