Adam Curtis has a blog? Well, that’s my Sunday afternoon all sewn up–love Curtis. Love the “I’m talking about ice cream so here’s a video clip of a train” editing style, love the soundtracks, love the message.
Does anyone else agree that Curtis is a really strong example of what Structuralism looks like when it’s made into art? His main theme is the interface between community (horizontal relationship, similar motifs) and individualism (vertical relationship, chronological order). His video clip collages seek to ‘jive’ with his message, his documentaries seek to link seemingly disparate ideas into an underlying motif.
Anyway, I dig Curtis. Are there any other Curtis fans out there?
A propos of virtually nothing, yet somehow fitting in with my view of Curtis and completing it–here’s this lesson on game theory from a British game show.
