If you make something that is of arbitrary value
buh buhbuh buhbuh buhbuh buhbuh buhbuh buhbuh buh
I wonder
In corporate commodity capitalism,
being an artist is not important
art has no value in the corporate world
What happens if you make an art that has no value.

The problem with capitalism is that it devalues everything except that which can be turned into a commodity. What happens if you don't want to be bought and sold or you don't want to buy and sell? Then what? The world is not only barter and trade. It's a mistake to see it that way.

Is the new video 'film,' video or film?
Tom Sherman

Video art has been pushed around and roughed up by a technological revolution throughout its forty-year history. Analog video, rolling through several formats of technological evolution, has been completely replaced by digital video.

Filmmakers, in the meantime, have lost their photochemical medium. Production in 16mm or 35mm film has become cost prohibitive beyond film's perceived advantages over video. Those who still shoot in photochemical film end up editing in and outputting in video. And film projection is a dying art.

A Documentary by Canal 6 de Julio and Promedios (47 minutes)

This video analyzes the events in San Salvador Atenco during the first days of May, 2006 and denounces the violation of the civilian population’s human rights by state and federal police forces. The documentary deconstructs the mass media’s operating methods, which were responsible for creating a climate of fear and an information blockade on the events in San Salvador Atenco, in the midst of an especially delicate situation: the 2006 process of presidential succession in Mexico.
