Never have the readings for an English course been so cool! All the "readings" have been digital media, digi art and digital archives of one form or another.
This week we had to look at, among other things, a digital text called "A Moment on Earth." It's the website for two movies that were made a few years ago.
-- 60 filmmakers around the world shot their film at the exact same moment in time around the world, and then did it again 12 hours later
-- On August 5, 2004, at 12 p.m. GMT and again at 12 a.m. GMT, simultaneous moments were caught all around the globe.
It's the perfect demonstration of global synchronicity, and it beautifully shows how we're all connected. Global village and all that jazz.

We also had to be writing a blog for this course about the readings and our reactions etc. I may post bits and pieces of it here if I have the time.
