Wow. I'm blushing.
I made a video for fun about a year ago. The whole thing, from conception to finish, was very quick - all finished & on youtube perhaps a week after I shot the source footage on a Thanksgiving roadtrip.
Somehow it has built more steam than my more complex examples of video art. I think people respond to direct statements, which is really a testament to widespread symbol illiteracy. However, it's always shocking (for me anyways) to discover people around me who think like I do.
I'm also terribly shy. And paranoid.
So imagine my embarrassed glee to discover that the Institute of Noetic Sciences rates my small slice of video meditation highly in its newest periodical! Damn do I wish I knew how to hyperlink. Here's their thing:
www.noetic.org
They were founded by Edgar Mitchell, an amazing specimen of human, who had a profound mystical experience while onboard Apollo 14. He teamed with a wealthy industrialist to... well to research the nousphere by every means.
The Institute has been around since the '70s, but I guess they're now launching a video hosting site, and here's a sample from the flagship newsletter (I wish I was savvy enough to have the whole thing linked up, but instead it's just jpeg grabs off my screen. Don't worry - google makes accessible anything that might tickle your curiosity)
Here's the banner:
Here's the very top of the newsletter, some info on the dude who puts the thing together
And here's a top ten list. My favorite film of 2007 is down there on the very bottom. It's not fair, though, because the others of us are virals and Zeitgeist is a full-blown feature. I checked out number one and it's INCREDIBLE so check it out asap. And at lucky number 3 there's little ol' thought-he-was-making-video-in-a-vacuum = me.
Word.
