From 1993, Postmodern Sureno is almost an hour long - a
documentary of Ciudad Juarez, made with Dawnja Burris. We stayed in El Paso, and Dawnja was instrumental in organizing interviews and trips into Juarez. I had been reading about informal economies and border issues; I was also writing about the ideas of postmodernisms, radiations, and "dusts" which I related to fractal ideas as well. The border in 1993 was porous; the maquiladora system was in full swing. Radio, television, and other swirled around the Rio Grande. I've been working on a restoration of the tape for YouTube; here it is. I think it may be - to me - the most important video I've been involved in - and with the kind assistance of so many! In particular, Dawnja was and is amazing; this piece (and others that stemmed from it) is a true collaboration. And I think that for anyone interested in the roots and stems of borders and networking, and how worlds emerge, this is really useful. I remember it played on PBS in Texas, I think through Dallas. Please watch; it's unlike anything else I've done, and is a somewhat unique snapshot of a city somewhat on edge, just before the wave of violence ensued. For the Dawnja Burris and the survival of Ciudad Juarez and all the people who participated in this documentary. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
