I have to apologize for this post ahead of time, but after talking with the great Carole Garmon about Kienholz (see my previous post for context), she recommended I watch Paul McCarthy and Mike Kelley’s Heidi (1992). The video from YouTube below is an edited version that, as the uploader notes(the original is 51 minutes [...]

And now a word from our sponsors…
Published by September 3rd, 2008 in TV, art, television and video. 4 CommentsProduced in 1973 [by Richard Serra and Carlota Ray Schoolman], “Television Delivers People” is a seminal work in the now well-established critique of popular media as an instrument of social control that asserts itself subtly on the populace through “entertainments,” for the benefit of those in power-the corporations that maintain and profit from the status [...]
Mashups, Italian Style!
Published by April 30th, 2008 in Italy, YouTube, fun, insructional technology, mashup, movies and video. 4 CommentsWell, Antonella Dalla Torre’s Italian 202 class had its first annual La Mattina degli Oscar (The Morning of the Oscars), and it was quite a special event. Good food, everyone well-dressed, and the culture was first rate, now that’s Italian! The occasion was a celebration of the recent work this class put into creating [...]
I just came across this beautiful, nutty video mashup on Sean Comerford’s blog titled “Alien Pizza.” Sean was in Carole Garmon’s Video Art seminar last semester and did some pretty amazing videos. This semester he is taking Italian 202 with the ever wonderful Antonella Dalla Torre who has introduced a final assignment that asks [...]
Viper’s Video Quicktags Plugin works with WPMu
Published by April 16th, 2008 in WordPress, video, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 4 CommentsI stopped using Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin a while back when I started playing in earnest with WPMu.

This uncharacteristically short trip was instigated by a workshop I got invited to do at Brooklyn College (which was a lot of fun), but the larger reason for this post is, of course, the wonderful, beautiful city of New York.

Carole Garmon pointed me to a beautifully disturbing re-enactment of a performance piece by Allan Kaprow’s “Shake It,” (1972) or at least that’s what I think it’s titled. I didn’t know anything about Kaprow before Carole explained his influential role in defining the concepts of performance art as well as helping to develop the [...]
Via the great Luke Waltzer…
You can file this one under “Just Another Web 2.0 Service Cautionary Tale.”
I was planning on working on my Italian by sub-titling a short commercial for this post I plan on writing using Mojiti (an online service that allows you to annotate videos on YouTube and other services), when I discovered to my great [...]
RSS Feed for Tags in YouTube
Published by January 19th, 2008 in UMW Blogs, YouTube, tags and video. 2 CommentsHere is a cool thing I discovered recently, and please forgive me if it is already common knowledge. There is a little hack for getting RSS feeds for tags on YouTube, and it goes like this:
http://youtube.com/rss/tag/randomtag.rss (where randomtag is the tag you want to aggregate)
Here are two examples of this tag-based feed. Andy Rush [...]
