It's been a while since I just surfed but today I did and I found this: Four Eyed Monsters, touching, beautiful, real and at the same time surreal and a thousand times better than anything I would have found on network TV. (Be warned, it is a feature film and lasts over an hour.) It gave a whole new feeling to what the web can do, as I could watch this at home and then go and check out the website and the comments online and the blogs and everything. Don't know quite how to explain it but it gave me an amazing sense of possibilities and freedom. That in especially because today I've been trying to work out how I can watch BBC Prime on the web. It made me feel that this is what it's really about. Me at home thinking I want to watch a film, typing in streaming video and finding a link to this film on Google. The reason I ended up watching this film is not because it was right at the top of the list but because there was something about the name and the visuals and the idea which spoke to me. I chose it but it had to be there to be chosen.
I'm excited to see where things go with this project but with this idea of just looking for things randomly, a bit like opening the bible to see which verse jumps out at you.
