do you think it is possible to make media free of interpretation, or subjective meaning?
an example:
to me, my father's 8mm films hold endless amounts of meaning (I never knew him, and now i can feel a connection, and know something more about him)
to you they may seem like crappy videos of boring people walking in a lake or leaving for prom... they are "meaningless" to you
To me those videos are extremely significant
to the rest of the world, nothing would change if they didn't exist.
meaning, interpretation, significance, it is all subjective. but the meaning intended by the author, the meaning that i bring to something, or the meaning you being to something have the same "worth"

it's possible that you miss my point jay.
your work is not "significant".
neither is mine.
we add meaning to it by our own right to get what we want.
by our own circumstances, we attache meaning and broadcast it.
to get what we want from others.response.On 6/2/06, Jay dedman <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:

but you are right....
if these bombs attacks were to happen in the US....it would be the
biggest deal in the world.
huge memorials, exhaustive news coverage, policy changes.
but its not happening here.
more revealing video made available more often could change that.
