Hello Nancy, Nancy Mauro-Flude said : > Nice project - thank you for sharing. > So it juxtaposes >? I got the same image.
The images you attached (probably did not make it to the list) are placeholders. They should eventually be replaced once new images are posted on /leftypol/ and /pol/. It may take a while depending on the time of the day, what's happening in the world, etc. Here is a sped-up video of 12H of activity during the first round of the French presidential election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFqIsBKaz1s > If this is the point then reminds me of Hamlettmachine and Muller's > disgust at his own status as a privileged person? > > 'My place, if my drama ever took place, would be at both sides of the > front, between the fronts, over them.' Ah, this is a good connection, the lines following this quote are also relevant (on being both in the riot and behind bullet-proof glass). Yes, there is certainly something to be said about the attempt to make a bird's-eye view of populist meme visual culture, what it means to provide such a setup, its ambivalence, the fascination and fear, and then what it means as an audience to watch all this unfold.
