The collectivization of journalism marches on! As one we salute the VJ!

When I wrote on Tuesday that "the idea of collectively-written articles is a pretty grey one, morally and legally; writing an article for a magazine isn't folk music, even if blogging kind of is", I was forgetting that back in July about two thousand (okay, 50) Click Opera regulars helped me research a piece for the Adobe website about VJing. In fact, I'd forgotten all about the article (perhaps because it was a real bugger to write). Only meeting editor David Womack, who commissioned it, at the Whitney last night reminded me of its existence. And here it is! Click the picture for a pdf:



So I either need to buy you guys all dinner at Nobu, or form a ukelele band with you and start trading licks in barns. I'm sure the visuals will be stunning.

I imagine that was pretty tedious to write. I believe I was one
of the people who, like Gillard at the end, prefers my sounds without
a mess of distraction.

My ideal visual is here:

(Projection mimics the light and shade from a window, moves imperceptably
throughout the day. I believe it's a window that's been removed from the
building, or blocked by new construction)

Something not mentioned which is being used alot is processing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processing_%28programming_language%29).

I think it's a very worthy, noble - dare I say it - ground-breaking notion that would merit being experimented with in the neaar future. If you can be arsed.

I enjoy your journal quite a bit, and find your opinions insightful and well considered. I don't mean to be a prick or insensitive, but I have to ask this - are you missing an eye?

I LOVE Nobu.

I really want to go to the Morimoto place in Philly though.

S'ok. I like the interior. I'm still not a fan of sea urchin—even an iron chef can't make it palatable.

That article is a big snooze and just mildly celebrates a rather uninteresting orthodoxy. Sorry but consensus articles just ain't you.

Yes. But it paid for a new laptop.
