FLEFF: Fingerlakes Environmental Film Festival. March 30 through April.

Many thanks to Tim Murray, Patti Phillips, Verena Conley on Eco politics, Daniel Warner's bood Audio Cultures, among so many others who have been our collaborators. We use film as a generic film for film, new media, sound, projection and so many other modes....how can this all be environmental. It becomes environmental from the point of view of Tom Sherory if it DISRUPTS. So much of contemorary environmental issues leave out the human...


Locative Media: Moving from looking at images to interfaces.
Emerging theorization of Locative Media of Eco publics.

Witness: an NGO funded by Peter Gabriel. Diversity of Human Rights issues outside of the global North America.

HUB uses user generated information. People around the globe around the world upload images to this site.

Eco and the Environment is often situated in the global, white North American continent.

ARound the globe the biggest health issue is loss of water.

Locative Media from Upstate New York: Local and Global not to be untied.

Stephani Rothenberg: Invisible Threads
Takes place in Second Life where INvisible Threads...a digital sweat shop...Sweat shops are bigger than global call centers.
This was sponsored by Sundance Festival....In Virtual Tailorism you order your jeans who have different names....the orders are printed out on fabric, glued together and can be worn once....after the first washing they fall apart.

Pre emtive Media Colective Brook Singer and Beatrice La Costa:

Swipe: The data strip on the back of drivers licences who have bought data bases, they go into bars, swipe the licences, this swipe provides a barrage information that is printed out on a "receipt".

The virtual and the material intersects in these projects....this is where the public becomes a major part of the project.

Theory:

Migrations: Migrating data across platforms in different iterations. From analog to digital.

Eco politics: Constant movement, congered environments

When we shift from environments who are no longer fixed but are vectors between moving, shifting iterations. They are in constant mobility and constantly seeking collaboration.

Do IT WITH OTHERS---DIWO
Platforms and conjuring machines for publics....Publics Are made and produced to move from ambiguities to the practicalities of works..,,

David McDougal...to move ethnographic film making from an act of making of to making fims with,...an act of collaboration and dialog.

Linear narative histories reflect the state and not the listeners...where the story tellers story moves though different iterations.
The idea of the gathering is a pulling in of the public ...an eco public mode of working.

(The 1960's mode was more of a pushout mode....like Michael Moore's,
Images do not matter, interface is more important...

Locative Media and Eco publics....no products....nodal points for conversation, debate, arguments, for movements, for potentialities...

These nodal points evolve.

Digital, Geographic and Social Movements: Enactments...Horizontal user faced ....like Earth Art.

To interupt and reroute these vectors...
