content

I've decided to open up the interestingess channels and invite posts from special guests.

I'll be inviting academics, established and emerging artists, writers, peers and more.

The content is up to the author. It would be nice if it related to my project (think 'why do we (especially generation y) feel so compelled to constantly engage in screen-based media?'), but I find everything interesting so whether it be technical, something you think everyone should know, or even something as pop culture as why you like watching Buffy so much... I'm interested. Writing itself is not even required. If you'd just like to share an image/video/link... I'm interested.

Forward this on to anyone you think would be interested, or send your ideas to s3162611 at student.rmit.edu.au

Thanks!

sunday night safran

I was listening to Sunday Night Safran tonight. I love it but I always forget to tune in.

Anyway, they were discussing some kind of weird alleged local bakery crime... and segued into a story about a man, who headed down to the scene, with the intention of appearing as an 'extra' on news reports. Mr. Weinstein, from what I gathered, is a curtains & blinds salesman in Carlisle St, Balaclava. He has gained some kind of reputation, not as a salesman, but as a salesman who prides himself on being an extra... whether as an innocent 'bystander' on local news reports, or a juror on Ally McBeal.

My research skills are being used on more pressing issues tonight, but I do intend on learning more about this average joe. I'd like to perhaps have a chat with him and potentially create an exhibition using stills from his television appearances. Our desire for the 15 minutes is something that really interests me and I think I could really do a lot with.


And on a side note I just discovered Father Bob has a blog!
