Full description
I cut this video together as an experiment in video essay structure while studying Media Arts at RMIT. At the time I had been volunteering with the Melbourne based community television show SKA TV's Access News, and had access to a great deal of interesting open source indymedia content. The 'redux' version is a more recent cut I did, in 2005 while finishing university. It contains new footage and a few shots from a video installation called 'Screen Culture' observing people's habits as they watched television.
