Youngblood Secession From The Broadcast. - video dailymotion

Gene Youngblood talk at Pacific Film Archives in Berkeley, CA - June 2011. The title of the talk was Secession From The Broadcast. http://www.vasulka.org/Kitchen/PDF_ExpandedCinema/ExpandedCinema.html

#SecessionFromTheBroadcast address these questions:
"~What is the #revolutionary potential of the Internet?
~How can we use it to cultivate radical will at scale?
~Why is social control in crisis, and what is state power going to do about it?
~What does it mean to leave the #culture without leaving the country?
~What does it mean that culture is a technology of the self?"

Thanks @mattcropp for the #SecessionFromTheBroadcast link
It really connects with the #Mastodon experience
Inspiring lines:
~"this new thing, structure, operational inversion of broadcast = a #social #metamedium
~allows others to construct their own environments
~communication separate people, #conversation gather them together
~start putting together the media world that is going to be yours"

The subjective experience of shifting time and attention from corporate #SocialMedia to #Mastodon over the past few weeks recalled for me the idea of the #SecessionFromTheBroadcast. I'd read the original talk years ago, and when I googled it I stumbled on this talk by #GeneYoungblood from 2015.

Super interesting:
