]]> Comment on videodrome by reverend http://drgirlfriend.umwblogs.org/2007/10/02/videodrome/#comment-8 reverend Sat, 06 Oct 2007 01:18:04 +0000 http://drgirlfriend.umwblogs.org/2007/10/02/videodrome/#comment-8 I love that Videodrome takes p[lace in Pittsburgh. If you want to reading a fascinating theoretical take on this film, check out Fredric Jameson's The Geo-political Aesthetic, he has a crazy reading about post-modernism and global capital, it is a tough read, but he has some fascinating thing to say about the intersection of reality and view participation. Speaking of which, with the advent of web 2.0 technologies like blogs and wikis, tv itself is changing. If you're a Lost fan, you might know of <a href="http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">Lostpedia</a>, a wiki where folks go and talk about their theories of the show as well as engage in some of the craziest scene-by-scene analysis I have ever scene anywhere. It is not a stretch to thing that this relatively anonymous fan base, given certain technologies, is helping to shape that series in very real ways. A contemporary koment where TV is not simply acting on us, but we are interacting with it, a very Videodrome conception in some ways -but maybe ot as utterly bodily and depressing.

In addition to the Velvet Underground, you can see some Factory mainstays like Edie Sedgwick and Gerard Malanga. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vgcuU_JWuQU Here’s great video of The Velvet Underground performing at The Factory.

As you think through these movies, I am really impressed with how beautifully you frame such a powerful, but often unacknowledged, issue of examining art. Assumptions about genius and what's art are so often dependent as much upon the idea of someone or something as it is upon the actual work. Brava!
