Video Rags

I've been thinking about the "ragpicker" approach to creating media--the term I've culled from reading Geoff Sirc. I've been using this approach to teaching video creation for the last several years, but I've noticed that the model has shifted a good dea to enable the collecting of not only still images, but also videos. The projects are shifting from slide shows to found video compilations. I'll link this approach to a conversation Alex initiated about access and the WPA outcomes statement. I'd like to reiterate that the access concerns are really a cop-out when you think about what can be done with even basic levels of technology. To make the point I'll share this video from summer school. The video was created with nothing but found materials from the Web, snippets from a music collection, and the ubiquitous consumer video editor. Anyone who has a computer with a net connection can compose a video like Derek Sanders's Lost at Sea
