ITP Wintershow Videoblog
watch the videoThis video is one of the many videos that were made for the
2006 ITP wintershow.
Daniel Liss had this really great idea to do a wintershow videoblog for the
ITP wintershow, rather than the traditional walk around interviews! What a great idea. The interviews can all be seen
here. I was assisting as interviewer, and it was a great experience!
Here is a
video for
World News Wheels, by
Gilad Lotan and Ariel Efron, which emphasizes the parallel between the traditional act of prayer (and the spinning of the tibetan prayer wheels on a daily basis) and watching the news. Each time a prayer wheel is spun, a different video from various news websites is triggered and projected above the prayer wheels.
There is also this
video, for the
Botanicalls, which is a service for plant and human communication (also recently shown on
this episode of Rocketoboom)...Or how about the
interactive puppet theater by Younghyun Chung & Jaewook Shin? All lovely.
More here. Thanks Daniel!

my sister reacts to an article in the paper
Watch the videoagain, aljazeera international asked for reactions to the 9/11 coverage. I interview my sister reacting to an article in the New York Post that completely misinterpreted Iran and Islam.
Al Jazeera video request...the media and Iran
Watch the videoI got an email like this one day, and submitted this video response. Here is a bit of the message that I got from Al Jazeera International:
"The Listening Post', is a weekly programme that will take a long hard look
at the global media - how the news is reported, what the big stories of the
week are, what the small quirky stories are and most importantly what the
world thinks of how certain news is reported. The programme will be
broadcast on Al Jazeera's new English language channel, Al Jazeera
International.
I am producing a feature of the programme called Global Village Voices, this
is where we hear from people all over the world about what they think of the
media. We want people to contribute via video and the internet with comments
of one to two minutes. This is where you would come in shopuld you be
interested. We want to get a perspective from as many angles as possible.
Al Jazeera International is a new channel that is being broadcast from
London, Washington, Kuala Lumpar and Qatar. It is english language (despite
being Arab funded) and may go some way to balancing the western media.
The Global Village Voices will include video comments vlog style. Its is our
philosophy here that we get a representative and balanced range of people
rather than high quality footage (the rest of the programme is shot on HD).
I am producing a piece this week on the media and Iran."
i must apologize for the awful editing job, there are a lot of jump cuts, and I am not sure what they will end up using--but this is what I sent to them. Before I sent anything they told me they will only be airing 20 or 30 seconds of it, and wanted only a few minutes of commentary.
