I <3 Consumerism


Mashups, Italian Style!

Well, 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.

Dawn of the Dead, take 3

Finally, the last and mashed installation of my Dawn of the Dead (1978) series which took far more technical and creative energy than I originally imagined. The idea behind this experiment was simple: create three commentaries upon the social/political sub-themes dealing with consumer culture embedded within Dawn of the Dead using  video-based approaches.

Alien Pizza, a preliminary mashup

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.

After a long hiatus to finish his dissertation, Tattered Matt is back at it and as good as ever. Lately he [...]

James Harvey Dodd - a movie star?

Check this out, while searching Mary Washington on the internet archives I came up with a couple of gems, one from the 1940s and one from the 21st century:
A group of teenagers on a high-school radio program discuss just what capitalism is, seizing onto the example of the butcher who supplies the weenies [...]

Despotism: The Movie(s)

If you haven’t seen boingboing today, check out this post linking to the Encyclopedia Britannica’s short film titled Despotism. As a side note, this film is housed, and available for download at the Internet Archive - a veritable treasure chest of historical films, images and other public-domain digital documents. These folks have a vision for [...]
