sorry if this sounds uninformed but i don't just mean the above. the
process is being discussed and the means to an end (which is
historically a solution many people want) as global daily access to
radical and cross cultural media is and is not in sight or sound for so
many people in so many different ways. I run a lab at Sydney College of
the Arts at a Uni in what was (from the 1880's to about three years ago)
an old convict settled psychiatric hospital. We have twelve fast
machines with ISDN connection and 24 hour access to analog and digital
sound and temporal imaging studios. It's very interesting to see what
students produce in their own time for the web and what their perception
of realtime streaming media is. Not much unfortunately! Just about
everyone is interested in it and would have an application for it but
it's just not there. When I talked above about feeling "out of control"
it shouldn't have been directed at the obvious so called software tools
of the trade. It's more the nature of the medium that frustrates. The
translation and time spent in microscopic form deconstructing and
re-inventing a magnificent idea for yet another dinosaur. I've always
been taught on the web to project small. Whilst escalating a drive to
display wet or dry temporal media on the browser. Didn't think about the
wars or the sad inability of machine phobia.
