Via Kottke. This is about New York and the Village, but I feel like it’s about more than that. It’s about the homogenization, pacification, and gentrification of the places that were previously the havens of the freaks and weirdos who struggled to fit in anywhere else. It’s about society (and how we interact with it) becoming performative, and anything that deviates from the norm becoming a spectacle for others. You can sense some anger and frustration in this video, and I definitely get why. People who have been outcast, or are considered weird or a freak are people, and shouldn’t be treated as a spectacle or a tourist destination.

Via Kottke.org, I’ve been diving into another film analysis Youtube channel that I’ve been really enjoying, called Nerdwriter. Some of the videos I’ve enjoyed, as a sampler:
Video: Radiohead’s I Promise
For some context: this was apparently an unreleased B-Side from OK Computer. Since the album is now 20 years old (!), they’re re-releasing it and including 3 unreleased tracks as part of it. Fun track.
Rick and Morty and the Search for Meaning
Thunderclouds
This video is part of stormlapse.com, which is exactly what the name suggests: stunning footage of timelapsed storms. Found via Kottke.org, which after all these years continues to be a treasure.
Hi Stranger
There’s something about this video. The character is completely disarmed and open, and it’s intimate. And a little unsettling.
