Here's a kind of strange example of media convergence in which the Obama campaign has put an election night photo set on Flickr that is faux amateur. Notice the apparent lack of color correction (most likely enhanced), the awkward framing, and the 'candid' poses.

Monkey Town!
http://www.monkeytownhq.com/
I'm excited that we'll get a chance to design pieces for Monkey Town's four channel surround screen space and have a screening in December. Our screening is December 17th at 10pm.
TECH
They have:
• VGA and S-Video splitters
• 3 runs of S-Video cords on the Floor as well as one VGA cord
• 6 DVD players
• 1 miniDV deck
• a couple VHS players
• they can also hook-up computers
if anyone has any equipment, they're welcome to bring it in earlier, any time after 5pm.

Additional tech questions from Meredith D. with answers (thanks Meredith!)
=
(Q) Do you still have the DVD synchronizer (and it still works with
exactly two chapters on each of four dvds)?
we don't have the synchronizer, but we can synchronize to frame accuracy.
leaving a 5 second slug at the beginning is helpful.
(Q) Do you have the 5.1 sound system?
yes.
(Q) I imagine you have a sound board
we have a 12-channel mixer.
(Q) If people have work that runs off their lap top, they need to bring
their own VGA adaptor (or S-Video or HDMI)?
no HDMI connection, though we do have DVI converters.

The content industry has convinced industry in general that extremism in copyright regulation is good for business and economic growth. That's false. In this talk, Professor Lessig describes the creative and profitable future that culture and industry could realize, if only we gave up IP extremism.

Join San Francisco film aficionado and visionary Craig Baldwin(Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America;Sonic Outlaws;O No Coronado!;Spectres of the Spectrum) for a wild ride through his three-decade career in alternative film, stopping along the way for: dead media, arti-factuality, cinema povera, availabilism, ventriloquism, obsession, fetishism, Situationism, and micro-cinemas.
Craig Baldwin uses footage found on the fringes of popular consciousness to undermine and transform the traditional documentary, infusing it with the energy of high-speed montage and a provocative commentary that targets subjects from intellectual property rights and rampant consumerism to American imperialism, the military-industrial complex, and the origins of Scientology. He will screen clips from throughout his career, as well as never-before-seen out-takes and forgotten detritus from his basement cine-cave. Baldwin's most recent film,Mock Up on Mu(2008), had its New York City premiere at the 2008 New York Film Festival and will premiere in Europe soon at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
Sylvia Schedelbauer and Alison Kobayashi Nov. 10th
Flaherty NYC, Nov. 10, 7:30 pm
The November Flaherty NYC program will feature the New York City debut of works by German-Japanese filmmaker Sylvia Schedelbauer, whose films negotiate the space between broader historical narratives and personal, psychological realms mainly through poetic manipulations of found and archival footage, and Canadian-Japanese filmmaker Alison Kobayashi, who plays the part of every character in her rich narratives inspired by found objects that contain traces of private experiences. Alison Kobayashi will participate in a post-screening discussion moderated by Pamela Cohn.
