i think that the affinity group "satire" should form an alliance with the group "dialoging differences" because of similar themes and the simple fact that we all look good together.

it will be like 'survivor'. any takers?

ARCHIVE - Satire

I don’t have any specific ideas yet.

Are others interested in creating/using satire (literature or other media) that reflect ideas and express concepts?

ARCHIVE - What does this sound make you think of?

In cinema, audio is usually built around video. Sound effects and music in film are essential to building emotional tone. If you don’t believe me, watch the stabbing scene in Psycho to Maxwell’s Silver Hammer by The Beatles. Sound must work with the visuals to enhance or define a scene.

What if we flipped the balance of power and created visuals around sound?

Essentially, this is what is done in a concert setting for big name performers. I would like to showcase the animation and filmmaking skills of an affinity group that creates a visual representation of a song or series of songs.

ARCHIVE - Media Ventriloquism Group?

Hey, all!

In light of Douglas Kahn's awesome lecture today, I thought it might be a cool idea to create an affinity group based on MEDIA VENTRILOQUISM.

With this as a topic for our group, we could not only explore different ways of creating our own forms of media ventriloquism (i.e. found sound cut-ups, stunt lips stuff, even 2-D animations set over sound clips?) but we could look deeper into how and why this sort of political / celebrity puppetry happens.

My only concern is that this may be too medium-specific a topic to form a group from. Thoughts? Comments? Something? ANYTHING?!
