heads up for new goods
this is just a short notice, we are starting a new project (you know how it is, a new one a week). this time, it is devoted to preserving some of the stories we collect. this time, we called it “anonymous and beautiful”. it is about anonymous people we meet, mostly through CS. we are not going to connect it to anyone or sign under anywhere, in fact, one of our ideas is to allow people to add their own interviews. the main point is that the interviewer is not only unknown, but not even heard. our focus is on the people themselves.
the website is http://anonymousandbeautiful.wordpress.com/ and our vimeo channel is http://vimeo.com/user5369722. we have about 20 coming, we produce them faster than we can upload them. that’s one vimeo feature i don’t enjoy. we’ll see if it works out. if it does, we might go pro. we also need better lighting for the night shots. for now, it looks really extremely candid and homemade, we want to keep it that way.
we also gave it a slight esoteric “exuberantist church” tone. that’s where we are headed with the exuberantism thing. it’s neither religious nor spiritual, but structurally and in many of the expressions used, it piggy backs on some of the rights religion has earned along the way. a simple form of “mental phreaking”, like atheists are doing with calling themselves “brights”, or homosexuals did with the word “gay”.
