I was so inspired by you guys at BAVC! I am still doing CSA, local meat now and hopefully some chickens too in the backyard. To the commenter above in re SL: avatar-based interaction can be very powerful and liberating as evidenced in my recent documentary about the Kansas To Cairo Project, where students from Cairo and Los Angeles collaborated on a large architecture project, merely using avatars of their own choosing. They truly reflected the inner self in name and appearance many of them told me, much more so than the physical appearance they were "given" by birth. Immersive virtual worlds are redefining a lot about human interaction and are, as all technology is, neither good nor bad, it is us who choose what we do with it!</p> </div></div></div> Sat, 16 Jul 2011 18:55:21 +0000 Draxtor comment 128253 at http://dagblog.com There was one quote from the http://dagblog.com/comment/128240#comment-128240 <a id="comment-128240"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/food-drink/american-meat-docufilm-11082">American Meat docufilm</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>There was one quote from the director that I found interesting:</p> <blockquote> <p>One of the really important things to us is that we don’t create a film that alienates people.  We want a film that gives a fair shake to industrial meat industry…And I found the people working for these large agriculture businesses are good people.  I just think they are stuck in an unhealthy and inefficient system.</p> </blockquote> <p>I could say that a similiar approach and sentiment could be applied to a lot of our economic sectors, including the banking industry.</p> <p>And on another note, there is something about the video interview using avatars that I find a little disconcerting. </p> </div></div></div> Sat, 16 Jul 2011 17:19:37 +0000 Elusive Trope comment 128240 at http://dagblog.com
