I came here through the whole Edward-Buffy thing. I have to say I’m amazed at the quality of everyone’s videos and how strong you’ve made their message. I study political use of online video and I’m definitely going to pay close attention to what you do. Kudos!

[...] Political Remix Videos redefine and recontextualize proprietary content in an effort to build upon collective cultural knowledge but their creators are also on the front lines of the battle between new media technologies and impeding copyright laws. My findings in this report reflect the experiences of artists who navigate the murky waters to continually demonstrate the importance of remix as a vital art form. [...]

Comment on Dollhouse – It Depends on What You Pay by K

While I appreciate where your coming from with this post, I have to say I think you really missed the mark here. The whole issue of rape and consent is one of the major themes of the show. You’re accusing the show of ignoring something that it is quite clearly exploring, and not just in the subtext. I recall an episode where one of the “dolls” is actually raped by one of the “handlers.” And there’s also an episode that features a troubled youth who’s struggling to cope with abuse she’s suffered as a child. Another is about a rich businessman who’s also a psychotic sexual predator… I mean, I could go on. The whole premise of the show is that the people in the dollhouse are being used and abused by the extremely wealthy and the extremely powerful. There are many threads of discussion that could be drawn out of this. The only thing troubling about it is in the fact that these are, in themselves troubling issues. Again, I see where you’re coming from, I think you’ve missed the point entirely. If anything the show should be commended for dealing with the idea of “rape culture” in the same way that you’re commending this video! And on a Fox TV channel to boot!

Comment on Imeem Removes Fan Vids Along With All UGV by Luminosity

Thank you for saying this. I’ve been booted off of (+/-) five sites already (the Imeem debacle came directly on the heels of my being TOS’d from Vimeo). It’s disheartening, and the battle for the legitimacy of transformative work is neverending.

I probably sound all airy-fairy, but in the end, I wonder what the point of all the takedowns *is*, other than money. It’s not like I’m going to stop vidding any time soon.
